Stress: The Extinction Agenda

Untitled

Stress: The Extinction Agenda is the second full-length album by Queens hip hop duo Organized Konfusion, released on August 16, 1994, on Hollywood BASIC. The group went outside its past self-production and got help from future star producers Buckwild and Rockwilder. The album features O.C. and A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip. The album's tone is generally darker than that of its predecessor, with subject matter falling under the album's title.

The cover was painted by the late Matt Reid aka Matt Doo, who later committed suicide. Prince Po later would later write "Be Easy", a song dedicated to him from his album The Slickness.

In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.
