DESCRIPTION
For the very first time on wax.
Straight outta Oakland, CA, Do or Die (1995) stands as one of the coldest Bay Area G-funk records of the era, with 100% Ant Banks behind the boards, serving up that signature mobbed-out funk and heavy analog bass that shook the West.
Featuring appearances from Spice 1, MC Breed, 187 Fac, Gangsta P, Rappin’ Ron and more, this album captures the real Bay sound in its purest form. Packed with gritty street grooves and delicious funk jams, every track delivers that unmistakable West Coast vibe and solidifies Do or Die as a defining record of 90s Oakland rap culture.
Newly mixed by Ant Banks himself and mastered by Milian Mastering, this first vinyl edition delivers top-tier sound and collector-level pressing quality, limited to 300 hand-numbered copies worldwide. A true piece of West Coast history finally available on wax.
