Harlem's confrontational 2 Black 2 Strong came with the backing of MMG, a collective that included members Mean Gene, Johnny Marrs, Warchild, C Dogg, and Dark Chocolate. Doin' Hard Time on Planet Earth, 2 Black 2 Strong's 1991 album, was prefaced the previous year with the Burn Baby Burn EP. The cover of the EP depicted a burning U.S. flag and tipped off the subject matter of the title track. When Relativity's In-Effect offshoot attempted to press promotional copies, its tape manufacturer refused to comply. Eventually, it was pressed up through another source. 2 Black 2 Strong's continued testing of freedom of speech was met with resistance, especially since "Burn Baby Burn" included the line, "Fuck the red, white and blue." His solid album also tackled issues like the war on drugs, police brutality, and other inner-city plights. This release comes from a transition period in hip hop. Hip hop was moving from political, black power oriented lyrics to more street-level gansterism, and this albusm strikes a pleasant balance between the two.
