This is a UK pressing I picked up today. A bit used with some light crackle, but this pressing sounds so sonically amazing still. I'm pretty astounded with the sound of this record right now.

1990 was easily one of the best years ever for Detroit Hip Hop. So many dope releases that year.
Here's one from M.C. Kool Chief (James Williams), a 12" single for "Use Your Mind" b/w "Dope".
The single was produced by James Williams along with the legendary Mike E. Clark.

Detroit born former NBA basketball star Derrick Coleman had a label called 44 Ways and the Detroit duo Born Suspicious was the flagship of that label.
Now wouldn't it have been nice if they actually put the artist's name Born Suspicious on the label for this record???? Smh 🤦
