Album Notes

Growing up in a one bedroom tenement
building in the streets of Jackson Heights,
Queens was the best thing that ever
happened to me. Why? Because the lack
of space and the poverty that surrounded
me forced me to turn to Hip Hop as a way
to escape it all. The music that penetrated
my ears as I sat in my living room on those
late night weekends listening to the Spectrum
City Crew (later known as Public Enemy),
Kool DJ Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, and Mr.
Magic/Marley Marl, took me to a place that
knew no limits and made it possible for me
discover what my purpose in life was...to help
elevate the art of Hip Hop. For me, Good
Mournin' Amerikkka is a nostalgic journey
back to those days.

This album emphasizes all of the important
qualities of Hip Hop culture and more
specifically, it's music. D-Ex successfully shows
us the proper blueprint any Hip Hop artist should
follow during the process of recording an album.
Good Mournin' Amerikkka is rebellious, fearless,
conscious and witty. What's more, originality,
substance, and creativity are prevalent from the
first song to the last. Whether you're a Hip Hop
fan, artist or if you're simply curious to learn the
reasons why this music is so powerful, I suggest
you pop this CD in your player and let it take you
on your own personal journey!
