Black Bastards (or Bl_ck B_st_rds) is an album by KMD, released in 2001 through Sub Verse Records. The album was initially scheduled to be released in 1994, but Elektra Records shelved it; reportedly due to the controversial cover art which shows a Sambo figure being lynched, and the Black nationalist content of the album.[1] Zev Luv X's brother DJ Subroc was killed when he was struck by a car shortly before he could finish the album.

Rare and demo tracks recorded during the making of this album were released on a vinyl-only EP, entitled Black Bastards Ruffs + Rares, in 1998.
