Queens NY hip hop icons Onyx have been at the top of the game for three decades now, ever since the release of their BLACKbuster debut album, 1993\u2019s groundbreaking Bacdafucup<\/em>. Combining the hardness of gangsta rap with the intelligence of hardcore hip hop, Bacdafucup<\/em> achieved the seemingly impossible, massive mainstream success without an ounce of compromise and made Onyx a household name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 years later, Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz are still showing \u2018em how it\u2019s done. Blood On Da X<\/em> is a brand new studio album that brings back the glory and gory days of \u201890s hip hop with hard-hitting beats and irate rhymes that\u2019ll stick in your head and send jolts of energy up and down your spine. Check out the album\u2019s first single, the group\u2019s tribute to the classic 808 hip hop beat (with a hat tip to KRS-One) and sound of gunfire it evokes, \u201cThe Boom Boom Bap.\u201d The duo even shot a slick performance video in collaboration with the visual stylists at Pinkall Productions that brings the gritty, hypnotic track to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
