Musical Meltdown is the debut album of American rapper Young Zee. Originally released as a promotional cassette by Perspective Records in 1996, the album was not commercially released until April 28, 2015, when it was re-issued by independent label Gentleman’s Relief Records. The CD format features full liner notes about the making and re-discovery of the album, while the cassette format is limited to 100 copies.[1] It has been compared to other previously-shelved hip hop albums, such as Kamaal the Abstract by Q-Tip, Center of Attention by INI, and The Original Baby Pa by Deda.[2] The record featured production by Ski, Feel Good Skills, Prestige, Kobie Brown, KRS-One and Twista with appearances by Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes, KRS-One, and the Outsidaz. Q-Tip remixed “Everybody Get”, Zee’s first single for Perspective Records from 1995
