"Straight Outta Harlem" encompasses the best and brightest hailing from the epicenter of East-Coast inflected street rap: Harlem, NY. With this album the legendary northern-New York neighborhood is immortalized in a unique collection paying homage to the relatively recent evolution of East Coast street rap. With tracks featuring multi-platinum Dipset members Juelz Santana and Jim Jones, along with Hell Rell, JR Writer, 40 Cal, Purple City, Jay Bezel, Max Bigavelli & many more, the album is hosted by core Dipset member Hell Rell, who also contributes some solo gems of his own amidst a bevy of his associates' top shelf offerings. Harlem's finest are now joined on the first LP properly commemorating the locale that has served as a launching pad for some most prominent and respected emcees.
