Cru's dark and explosive debut album in 1997, Da Dirty 30, was embraced by the hardcore set. The entirely in-house-produced album named after an investigation into New York City's corrupt 30th police precinct, is fiercely stark and eclectic, lifting samples from <a href="spotify:artist:6liAMWkVf5LH7YR9yfFy1Y">Portishead</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:47zz7sob9NUcODy0BTDvKx">Sade</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7guDJrEfX3qb6FEbdPA5qi">Stevie Wonder</a>. Cru's lyrical content deals with the perils of life in the South Bronx and the hip-hop game. While much of their storytelling gratuitously glorifies the hip-hop gangsta lifestyle, their music is not without morals and messages as well. The various rhyme styles range from <a href="spotify:artist:10Khz9BDdDT2mzm3330Cvu">Onyx</a>-like howling to b-boy notepad recitations. ~ Michael Di Bella, Rovi
