Debut album by the Bronx-rapper Tim Dog, who later formed the group Ultra with Kool Keith
Featuring the classic diss tracks "Fuck Compton" and "Step To Me"
Black vinyl
The Bronx rapper Tim Dog released his 1991 debut Penicillin on Wax to a hostile audience. Ever a king of controversy, he made a million enemies with his
provocative single "Fuck Compton," a shameless attention ploy dissing N.W.A., DJ Quik, and America's entire Pacific Coast. Penicillin on Wax contains
more of the same, as Tim trashes everybody from Kwame to Michel'le to Eddie Murphy. The lyrical insults were arguably the opening salvo in what would later
become the East Coast versus West Coast hip hop conflict.
There can be no doubt that Penicillin On Wax remains one of the true hardcore hip hop classics and one of many landmarks in sounds from the Bronx.
Produced by probably the best hip hop producers of the early 90s, the Ultramagnetic MC's, this album contains some of the most energetic tracks you'll ever hear.
Guest appearances on the mic from Kool Keith and Ced-Gee also enhance the LP.
Penicillin On Wax is available on black vinyl and includes an insert.
