''The Sun Rises in the East'' is the debut album of American hip hop rapper Jeru the Damaja, released May 24, 1994 on PayDay Records. Production on the album was handled by DJ Premier. The album features fellow Gang Starr Foundation member Afu-Ra. The album cover depicts the World Trade Center on fire only one year after the 1993 bombing of the North Tower. ''The Sun Rises in the East'' was well received by most music critics upon its release. It is considerably significant in hip hop, as it contributed to the revival of the East Coast hip hop scene, along with albums such as Wu-Tang Clan's ''Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)'' (1993), Nas's ''Illmatic'' (1994) and Black Moon's ''Enta Da Stage'' (1993). The album has been considered by critics to be Jeru the Damaja's best work.〔 ==Reception== *''The Source'' (8/94, p. 86) - 4 mics - Slammin' - "...the music both contrasts and complements his disjointed flow and deep poetical lyricism." *''Melody Maker'' (8/13/94, p. 33) - Bloody Essential - "...hypnotic and chilling as a blues party on Pluto...Another step forward for hip hop." *''NME'' (6/18/94, p. 34) - Very Good - "Jeru is more original than most...there are delights aplenty here." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sun Rises in the East」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
