Get On Down rolls it all back to where it started, Ed O.G. and Da Bulldogs 1991 debut Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto. The album runs the gamut from the introspective conscious hip-hop of Be A Father To Your Child, to the whimsical boasts of I’m Different, to deeply political fare like the Ace and Quan and Def Jef- featuring Speak Upon It, plastered across a backdrop of Joe Mansfield-produced sample-heavy soundscapes which snatched clips from deep cuts of James Brown, Roy Ayers, and The Delfonics, to name just a few. It also managed to generate Billboard-charting singles out of tracks like Bug-A-Boo, Be A Father To Your Child, and I Got To Have It, which would become Ed O.G.’s signature track, and sample fodder for 2Pac, De La Soul, and DJ Premier.
