History

Juggaknot's debut studio album, Clear Blue Skies, was released on the vinyl-only New York independent Fondle 'Em Records in 1996.[3] It is considered an underground classic by critics such as Exclaim! and HipHopDX.[4][5][6][7] It was re-released as Re:Release with 11 bonus tracks in 2003.[8]

In 2006, the group released a studio album, Use Your Confusion, which features guest appearances by Sadat X, Wordsworth, and Slick Rick, among others.[9] It was released through Amalgam Digital after a deal was signed with the independent label.[10]

In 2015, the group released a collection of previously unreleased tracks, titled Baby Pictures (C. 1989-1993).[11]

gollark: UBIFS too.
gollark: The great part of 5G is that I could, under ideal conditions, probably go through my entire monthly data plan in a matter of *minutes*!
gollark: Them mentioning 5G when talking about that phone has reminded me of how annoying the 5G overhype is... it's a somewhat faster mobile networking standard, it's not going to revolutionize all communications or something.
gollark: I think that might be SoC-specific.
gollark: Their custom ones were bad, so they're axing the team and using ARM's designs.
