PRODUCT DETAILS
If Christian hip-hop had a Mount Rushmore, Sup the Chemist (Chris Cooper) would be front and center. Named the #1 Christian Rapper of All-Time by Rapzilla, his pioneering work with SFC (Soldiers For Christ) not only set the foundation for an entire genre but also built an infrastructure that continues to support artists today. With razor-sharp lyricism, hard-hitting beats, and a mission to reach those outside the church walls, Sup helped elevate faith-based hip-hop from an underground movement to a force that demanded attention.Originally released in 1992 on BAI/Broken Records, Phase III stands as one of the most important hip-hop albums of it's time. It seamlessly blends reggae, jazz, and R&B influences into it's production, pushing creative boundaries long before genre-blending was commonplace. This long out-of-print classic was mixed by Gene Eugene (Adam Again, Lost Dogs) and executive-produced by Ojo Taylor (Undercover), further proving it's deep roots in the alternative Christian music scene.Musically and lyrically, Phase III pulls no punches. Tracks like "Kill the Spirit" feature guest raps from Alliance of Light, who would later become the legendary Gospel Gangstaz. DJ Dove lays down scratches throughout the album, while Todd Stevens (XL from XL & DBD) provides bass and background vocals, adding to the album's rich sonic depth. Sup's verses cut through with conviction, speaking directly to the streets with the same energy and authenticity as Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and N.W.A. This was Christian rap with no compromises-bold, unfiltered, and unapologetic.Now, for the first time ever, Phase III arrives on 2-LP Lime Green Vinyl in a stunning gatefold jacket with full lyrics. Part of the Legends Remastered Series on Retroactive Records, this release is limited to just 200 copies. This is a must-have for collectors, a historic group that sold over 100,000 copies in the '90s but this classic album has been impossible to find for decades.Sup once told CCM Magazine that his mission was to "reach drug sellers, club hoppers, and other people you wouldn't find sitting down and listening to a church choir." More than 30 years later, that mission still resonates. Whether you're rediscovering Phase III or hearing it for the first time, this is hip-hop history-preserved, restored, and ready to be heard again.Don't sleep on this one. Once it's gone, it's gone.For fans of Public Enemy, N.W.A., Gospel Gangstas, Sup the Chemist, E.T.W., Ice Cube.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
