2023 marked 20 years since DM & Jem’s cult thugged-out rap bangers of Ghetto Pop Life were released. Following on from a limited colour repress exclusive to the label’s website and the band’s Bandcamp page to mark the anniversary, it now gets a black vinyl repress in May (2024)
Originally released on Lex Records in 2003 it has been out of print for a number of years and is now being re-issued to coincide with the release of Born Again. Featuring guest appearances from tha Liks , J- Zone , Prince Po , and the Pharcyde.
AllMusic gave the album **** “Evocative without being pointlessly nostalgic and fun without being goofy, Ghetto Pop Life is a convincingly strong debut. Dom Passantino of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of “A”, calling it “not only one of the best albums of the year, but also possibly the strangest.
Pitchfork placed it at number 37 on the “Top 50 Albums of 2003” list. The Guardian named it the 19th best album of 2003. In 2017, ThoughtCo included it on the “100 Best Hip-Hop Albums of the 2000s” list.
