As you might have guessed from both band name and album title, the Smut Peddlers' PORN AGAIN is not for children or for those easily offended. These hip-hop sleaze merchants revel in debauchery, relating graphic tales of unsavory sex with obvious glee.
Over undeniably funky backing, the Peddlers offer to be "smut ambassadors," unabashedly detailing the most unseemly aspects of the pimp/playa lifestyle so beloved by certain sections of the hip-hop community. If you're already inured to the unadulterated misogyny that runs rampant among the self-appointed spokesmen of said community (i.e. if you don't hide your Too Short discs when your mom comes to visit), the Smut Peddlers will be right up your alley.
