PRESSED ON HALF & HALF WITH BLACK SPLATTER COLORED VINYL
LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES WORLDWIDE
Originally released in 1996 via Big Beat/Atlantic Records, From Where??? is the
debut album by Richmond, VA-based emcee Mad Skillz, which features countless
classic cuts by some of the best producers in the game (roll call: J Dilla, Shawn J.
Period, Buckwild, DJ Clark Kent, Nick Wiz, The Beatnuts & Large Professor). The
album was also praised for its strong lyrical content. Skillz, as we know him, was
never short on captivating listeners with his punchlines and wordplay. In 2002, he
began his annual “Rap Up” series, incorporating a year’s worth of headlines from the
prior year.
On From Where??? The singles “The Nod Factor and “Move Ya Body” received
steady radio and video airplay while album cuts like “VA. In The House, “Doin Time In
The Cypha,” “The Jam,” and the showstopper “Extra Abstract Skillz” (Featuring Q-Tip
& Large Professor) all round out the album with bangers from start to finish.
Out of print on vinyl in the United States since its original release, Get On Down is
proud to present another underrated Golden Era classic on vinyl. From Where??? is
pressed on half-and-half with black splatter-colored vinyl, limited to 1000 copies.
