Erule along with his partner/producer King Born Allah dropped a lyrical heavy weight hip hop classic on the masses with “Listen Up” in 1994. Released on Pallas Records “Listen Up” got minimal attention. Erule eventually became a regular household name in the underground scene. Erule continued to release 12″ singles in the late nineties all the way through the early quarter of the 2000’s. Finally in 2001 Erule released his official debut independently titled “Cold Currentz.” “Listen Up”utilizes Roy Ayers “Everybody Loves Everybody Loves The Sunshine.”
