’96 Again Sizzle here: https://Certified.lnk.to/96AgainPR
Individual explainer videos of three definitive hip-hop albums will be featured throughout Black Music Month ’96 Again. Each of the videos is a two-minute mini-documentary exploring the history of the album.
The video coming June 10 delves into ATLiens, Outkast’s second studio album, the American hip-hop duo’s outer space-inspired musical lens on contemporary Atlanta from street hustlers to extra-terrestrials. June 17’s mini-doc tells the story behind Ironman, the debut solo album from American rapper/Wu-Tang Clan cofounder Ghostface Killah. On June 24, a new Certified short video explores the history of It Was Written, the 1996 tour de force that catapulted Nas from the New York hip-hop underground into the American cultural mainstream with iconic tracks like “If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)” (featuring Lauryn Hill) driving the album into the #1 slot on the Billboard 200.
