This powerful reissue of Stuck Mojo's third album brings back one of the heaviest rap-metal releases ever, now on striking Royal Blue Vinyl with a 12x12 insert. Originally released in 1998 on Century Media Records, Rising showcases the Atlanta-based band's unmistakable blend of ultra-heavy, down-tuned guitars, Bonz's hardcore rapping, and the relentless energy of guitarist Rich Ward. Remastered by Rob Colwell for Brutal Planet Records' Metal Icon Series, this vinyl edition revitalizes the raw intensity and grit of each track.Rising took rap metal to new heights, mixing brutal grooves reminiscent of Machine Head, Slayer, and Pantera with the rebellious spirit of Rage Against the Machine. Every song is packed with thick, groove-laden riffs that support Bonz's intense vocal delivery as he rants and rails with full force. This reissue includes the bonus track "Suburban Ranger," adding extra punch to an already aggressive lineup.Rising didn't just capture attention for it's raw sound-it made waves in mainstream culture with a memorable music video for the title track. Featuring WCW legends like Diamond Dallas Page, Raven, and The Flock, the video received heavy airplay and became a staple on WCW Monday Nitro. With the WCW United States Championship belt gracing the cover, this album became an icon in the rap-metal scene, securing it's place as one of Century Media's best-selling records, and now, this reissue is ready to make an impact all over again.TRACK LIST: 1.
