The Black Eyed Peas - Behind The Front [2LP]

Long before their mainstream dominance, The Black Eyed Peas introduced the world to their alternative, jazz-infused hip-hop with Behind The Front (1998). Their debut album blends soulful samples, live instrumentation, and funk-driven rhythms, creating a refreshing, groove-heavy sound that set them apart from the era’s commercial rap trends. Tracks like Joints & Jam, Fallin’ Up, and The Way U Make Me Feel highlight their lyrical flow, conscious themes, and multicultural influences, laying the foundation for their diverse musical evolution.

Now available on double vinyl, this reissue brings back the raw energy and organic sound of BEP’s underground roots. A must-have for hip-hop purists and fans of jazz-funk-infused rap, Behind The Front remains a timeless debut that captures the essence of hip-hop’s golden era.
