P.M. Dawn – Of The Heart Of The Soul And Of The Cross (Blue LP Vinyl)

Prince Be and DJ Minutemix brought something genuinely singular to the early '90s hip-hop landscape, blending sampling culture with introspective spirituality at a moment when the genre was pulling hard in other directions. Their 1991 debut wove together soul, new age drift, and rap in ways that made room for vulnerability the scene rarely allowed. "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss," built on a Spandau Ballet loop, became one of that year's most unlikely and indelible pop moments.
