The Equinox (album)

The Equinox is the third and final album by heralded Queens Hip Hop duo Organized Konfusion, released on September 23, 1997, on Priority Records. The group branched out to work with a number of outside producers, including Diamond D, Showbiz, Buckwild and Rockwilder. The effort is a concept album, with tracks linked together by storytelling skits. Included on the album are two very ambitious tracks: "Invetro" and "Hate." The former gives voice to the unborn, with Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po rhyming as unborn twins, one hoping for their mother to get an abortion, the other praying for a chance to live, respectively, while the latter features Monch and Po rhyming as white supremacists. "Invetro" follows in the same steps as "Stray Bullet" from the group's previous album, giving voices to things that can not speak.

gollark: I mean, the main reason to have an underscore is to avoid special characters like space, except then you just stick an exclamation mark in for no reason.
gollark: "Pop_OS!". It's so stupid a name.
gollark: It is generally desired that help-asking people will provide relevant information, like distro in this case, and also check the wikis or interwebs first.
