SISTER SOULJAH-360 Degrees Of Power 1st Pressing 1992 LP Public Enemy Ice Cube Chuck D Bomb Squad Archival Sleeve
360 Degrees of Power is the only album by female emcee, author, and activist Sister Souljah. It was released in 1992 on Epic/SME Records.
The album was met with criticism, not only for its performances—most of which were angry spoken-word tirades that Souljah screamed rather than traditional hip-hop rhymes—but also because of its controversial lyrics. Guest appearances were made by Chuck D ("State of Accommodation: Why Aren't You Angry") and Ice Cube ("Killing Me Softly: Deadly Code of Silence").
The album's music videos were banned by MTV. The album reached #72 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop album chart and sold only 27,000 copies mostly cd's
Souljah appeared on several tracks as a featured guest with the hip-hop group Public Enemy, and she became a full member of the group when Professor Griff was forced to leave after making anti-Semitic remarks. In 1992, she released her only album, 360 Degrees of Power.
