Jeru the Damaja’s Classic debut album and the first full album produced entirely by DJ Premier outside of Gang Starr. The lead single “Come Clean” was immediately recognizable for its high-pitched, repeating sample—often compared by listeners to Chinese water torture—and remains one of Premier’s most distinctive beats.
Jeru establishes himself as a sharp, disciplined MC through songs like “D. Original,” “You Can’t Stop the Prophet,” and “Ain’t the Devil Happy,” balancing battle lines with social and political commentary. The album presents a focused, uncompromising introduction from an MC who sounded fully formed from his first release.
