Lead Poison: 10th Anniversary [RSD 2026], Elzhi, Vinyl

Released in 2016, Lead Poison stands as Detroit lyricist Elzhi’s most vulnerable and rewarding album. Known for his razor-sharp wordplay and elite penmanship, the former Slum Village emcee delivered a project that balances lyrical brilliance with raw emotional honesty. The 16-track LP finds Elzhi navigating self-doubt, isolation, and resilience while reaffirming his status as one of hip-hop’s most gifted writers.
Exclusive to Record Store Day 2026, this 10th anniversary edition of Lead Poison is remastered by D-Sane at Digital Age Sound and features overhauled artwork by Jelle Smid. The cover is inverted against a black background, with the signature raining pencils reimagined in bold yellow and paired with updated center labels. Pressed on a striking “Lead Storm” color variant — a translucent metallic blend of black ice fused with gold, white, and canary yellow — the presentation is finished with a matching pencil themed OBI strip.
