The original Self Destruction record was released in 1989 by, The Stop The Violence Movement. This movement was created by Author/Screenwriter, Nelson George, Ann Carli and KRS-1 of Boogie Down productions. This record contained the vocal stylings of Hip-Hop Pioneers KRS-1, Public Enemy, Heavy D, M.C Lyte and Kool Moe Dee to name a few. This movement was designed to combat crime and clear accusations that hip-hop only portrayed negativity. This is the sequel to that project. It was created by Art icon Juan “Cheese” Vasquez, Jermaine “Maine Gotti” Hardrick and Christopher “Crisis” Campbell.
