Notes: In Full Gear (June 21, 1988) is the second album by New York group Stetsasonic, who are regarded as hip-hop's first live band. In Full Gear was more critically acclaimed than it's predecessor On Fire, although that album contained it's share of hot songs also. The most famous member of Stetsasonic is DJ Prince Paul who produced the majority of the songs on In Full Gear. Since leaving Stetsasonic, Prince Paul is predominantly known for his work with De La Soul. 

In Full Gear kicks of with the title track which is has a funky guitar intro that segways into an uptempo number with a funky bassline. Then track two comes in with “DBC Let The Music Play” which is a nice mix of dope samples and solid rhyming.

In Full Gear is at times ahead of it's time, thanks to their talented producer, DJ Prince Paul. The lyrics are solid and fairly varied, and this is a very solid album from a somewhat overlooked hip-hop group from the 1980s.
