Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Zip Code Rapists formed in New York City's Lower East Side in the late 1980s, with an original lineup that included MCs D-Roc, Kool Keith, and Daddy-O. Their name was a provocative reference to postal codes, and their music leaned into raw, unfiltered rap with densely layered lyrics that mixed surreal imagery with political commentary.
They released several albums in the early 1990s, including 'Born into Poverty' in 1991 and 'Product of the Environment' in 1994.
One of their tracks, 'Che,' paid homage to revolutionary Ernesto Guevara, with politically charged lyrics that became something of an anthem in certain circles. The group's limited commercial success didn't stop them from developing a reputation in underground rap for their uncompromising approach.
