Originally released on June 3rd, 1997, Coalmine Reissues in partnership with 420 Music is pleased to announce this first-ever reissue of Teflon’s debut LP, My Will.
As a member of M.O.P.’s First Family, Teflon first made his bones in the late ’90s New York rap scene where he was first heard on M.O.P’s sophomore offering, Firing Squad. The following year, Teflon would go onto release his debut effort. Standing at ten tracks, the album allowed for fans to further discover the artistic range of the gruff-voiced lyricist hailing from Brownsville.
My Will is a promising first effort that preceded the Brooklyn rapper’s buzz, which would reach its pinnacle in 2000 for his appearance on M.O.P’s “Ante Up (Remix)” alongside Busta Rhymes and then fledgling star, Remy Ma. This cameo led to a deal with Def Jam Recordings failed to see the light of day, and the Brooklyn rapper took a much needed hiatus from the industry. Teflon staged his triumphant return in 2023 with his well-received sophomore LP, 2 Sides To Every Story, produced by both DJ Premier, and the talented up and comer, Jazimoto.
This vinyl reissue boasts a few enhancements from the original pressing, which includes matte finished jackets equipped with an artwork overhaul that features an updated rear cover, along with a Coalmine-inspired flip of the original center labels all designed by Frank ‘DJ Concept’ DeMaria. Vinyl is pressed on red and black swirl discs and limited to just 300 units. Orders are ready to ship upon purchase!
