With nearly half of the record reaching the Top Ten, Freddie Jackson’s 1986 album showcases an R&B master at his best.

Sonny Sharrock’s album is a remarkable testament to his skill and range as a jazz guitarist, from heady experimental riffs to gorgeous chord progressions. New York MC Just-Ice’s debut album has become something of a cult classic due to producer Kurtis Mantronik’s booming production and Just-Ice’s unforgettable rhymes.
