Four years after releasing their classic album Hard To Earn, Gang Starr emerged with another classic in Moment of Truth, their first album released through Noo Trybe/Virgin Records. The album featured guest verses from Inspectah Deck, Scarface, M.O.P. and G-Dep. Moment of Truth is their most successful album to date, achieving Gold status after debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart with support from the singles “You Know My Steez,” “Royalty” with K-Ci & JoJo, and “The Militia” with Big Shug and Freddie Foxxx. DJ Premier revealed: “Moment Of Truth is my favorite, ‘cause we went through so much then. I had left the group at the time, and I didn’t think I’d ever be with Gang Starr again.”
