I.M.P. – No Prisoners

Description

“No Prisoners” is the debut EP by San Francisco-based rap group I.M.P. (Ill Mannered Posse). The EP was released in 1989 by Maxcacious Records on cassette tape and vinyl. It features four tracks, including the underground classic “Scandalous”, which was a fan favorite but didn’t receive mainstream airplay at the time. The EP showcases I.M.P.’s unique sound, blending hard-hitting beats, funky samples, and raw lyrics with a West Coast vibe. The group’s style and influence have been cited by many Bay Area rappers and helped pave the way for the region’s thriving hip-hop scene in the 1990s. Despite being a cult classic, “No Prisoners” remains a hidden gem in the history of West Coast hip-hop.
