DJ Premier and the Guru have been at the forefront of the underground for ten years now, and this retrospective shows why hip hop headz will always acknowledge their genius.

It was the second album from DJ Premier and Guru and it finds that just as on their debut, you get Primo taking full control of the beats and scratching whilst Keithy E. Guru gets the job done with the rhymes to show what the East Coast underground had to say following a up-rise of the West Coast. 1. "Name Tag" (Intro) 2. "Step In The Arena" The titular track to the album is one which really hypes things up, and I felt as though it was used perfectly in order o get the thing going as you see that ff one of the most memorable hooks, you hear that Guru takes things in the way ...
