House Of Pain - Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again (October 22, 1996)

Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again is the third album from the fake Boston Los Angeles-based trio House Of Pain. It ended up also being their final album, as lead artist Eric “Everlast” Schrody broke up the band, which also consisted of Leor “DJ Lethal” Dimant and part-time rapper Daniel “Danny Boy” O’Connor, the very day that Tommy Boy Records released the album to stores. For anyone reading these words who may believe that to be a harbinger of a bad album to come, just know that you’re absolutely correct, but also that the three artists reconvened as part of Danny Boy’s loose-knit La Coka Nostra art and music collective less than a decade later, and House Of Pain itself has recently been reinstated into at least the culture of live hip hop shows, even if we likely won’t ever get another project from them.

House of Pain - Same As It Ever Was (June 28, 1994)

The phrase “West Coast-based rap group House of Pain” doesn’t seem like it should make any goddamn sense. How could it, when the trio, consisting of Erik “Everlast” Schrody, Daniel “Danny Boy” O’Connor, and Leor “DJ Lethal” Dimant, have seemingly gone out of their way to claim their Irish ancestry through the guise of rowdy Boston hooligans? When you listen to their monster hit “Jump Around”, do you immediately think of Los Angeles? Of course you fucking don’t. But you should, because that’s where the group is actually from.
