Album info

Released in 2003 under the Out Of Bounds label, “SK2 – Year of the Pit” serves as a searing sequel to the original Sacramento K#@%Z project. This 2-CD compilation captures the gritty essence of Sacramento’s underground hip-hop, presented in an array of tracks that defy the commercial stereotypes of the genre. With executive producers Big Hollis and Pudgie steering the helm, the album assembles an army of talented artists, providing a panoramic view of Sac Town’s vibrant hip-hop culture.

The album starts strong with T-Nutty’s “Sac Kinz,” a riveting opener that immediately puts Sacramento on the map. Mitchy Slick, Irocc, Hollow Tip, J-Mack, Luni Coleone, and T-Nutty team up for “It Ain’t Nothing To Me,” a testament to the collaborative spirit and lyrical dexterity that define the city’s hip-hop scene. Tracks like “I’m Black Tone” by Black Tone featuring Big Hollis and “Pumkin Pie Or Peach Cobbler?” by Soul Clap add unique flavors to the mix, each with its own tale of life in Sacramento.

Songs like “We Kingz” by Paul Mussan, Kasper, and Young Fierce, and “Sac Town” by Black Bean reflect a sense of regional pride, while “FED Time” by Prime Minister featuring Big Hollis touches on the darker aspects of life in the streets. The compilation doesn’t shy away from showcasing the underground circuits with “We Run This Underground” by Jaded MC’s, offering a pulse to the subterranean realms of hip-hop.

On the second disc, tracks such as “4 Life” by Big Hollis and “City To City” by O-E and Redrum featuring Big Hollis emphasize the album’s broader scope. “Let Me Clear My Throat” by E-Moe and Big Hollis adds a classic touch, while “Total Control” by Taydatay and “Strapped With My Heat” by Marvaless featuring Big Hollis demonstrate the hard-hitting, no-nonsense attitudes that dominate the compilation.

“SK2 – Year of the Pit” serves as a vital platform for Sacramento’s artists, spotlighting a blend of raw talent, lyrical skills, and production finesse. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Gangsta hip-hop or a newcomer interested in the authentic voices of the underground, this album is a must-listen. It’s not just a collection of tracks; it’s a narrative, a community, and a declaration that Sacramento’s hip-hop scene is not to be overlooked.
