It seemed that after the clan's debut Enter The 36 Chambers was released at the end of 1993, the individual members dropped an album a year for a few years in a row. GZA's Liquid Swords with its iconic cover and lead single was an incredible release in a year that had given us several already.

Meanwhile, the Dirty South had something to say, and the Goodie Mob's "Cell Therapy" created a demand for an album from the Georgia quartet that was talking about the new world order and secret societies long before there was a woke generation.

On November 7, 1995, GZA and Goodie Mob released sonic bombs that are both revered as classics today.

Rza laced The Genius with some of his best mid-90s heat for Liquid Swords. The title track was a sonic throwback that paid homage to the original school of MCs with its chanted hook that sounded like a Cold Crush Brothers routine.

"When the Emcees came to live out the name and to perform, some had to snort cocaine and act insane with the building to be born, yo, Rza flip the track."

The Organized Noize production squad blessed Goodie Mob with a soulful track for their title track with its gospel-like hook with food metaphors sprinkled throughout. "Live At O.M.N.I." is an extremely timely call for unity in the wake of the historic Million Man March.

"Cold World" found GZA flowing over an offbeat RZA loop with an interpolation of Stevie Wonder's "Rocket Love" for the hook. The Genius put the slums of Shaolin right into the listeners' headphones with lines like, "It was the night before New Year's, and all through the fucking projects not a handgun was silent, not even a Tec outside as I'm stuck, by enemies who put fear and blasted on the spot before the pigs were there. You know hoods robbers snipers new in sight, fuck blue and white they escape before them flash the fucking lights."

"Shadowboxin" featuring Method Man was one of the albums hottest tracks and Meth was red hot, still riding the wave of his solo release Tical from the previous year. Meth and GZA trade verses over a sped up vocal sample and a mid tempo beat. "Duel Of The Iron Mic", "B.I.B.L.E." and "4th Chamber" round out the highly celebrated second solo release by The Genius.

"Thought Process" was another soulful banger from Soul Food full of introspective lyrics calling for unity and self-reflection.

"Young or old it's time we do what we supposed, we killin' each over this bullshit and some clothes," yells T-Mo.

The vocal harmonies and positive messages contained within Soul Food were the first glimpses of what we would see in their future releases as well as much of Ceelo's later work. "Sesame Street," "Fighting" and "Goodie Bag" continue the soulful sonics and uplifting messages from one of Atlanta's most prolific groups from their classic debut.
