MTV Raps countdown. Sales were estimated at over 470,000 units for this first album and during a two year time span between 1991-1992, EDO.G received 3 awards at the annual Boston Music Awards. By 1999 EDO.G earned 2 of the Boston Music Award's most prestigious titles four times over: "Best Rap Album" and "Best Outstanding Act."Now for the first time ever Edo, producer Joe Manfield (Vinyl Reanimators) and Direct Records present the ultimate companion set to this classic rap album.
