Jesse West - No Prisoners (1989)


In 1989, Jesse West released his first LP "No Prisoners." It is known for being the first hip-hop album ever released by legendary Motown records. Unfortunately, Motown records didn't promote their first rap album well enough. Today, this album is mostly forgotten and is a long-time out-of-print cd. It was produced by Commission Gordon (aka Gordon Williams) and Jesse West. Jesse West might be better known to some as 3rd Eye.
