The Sun Rises in the East is the first album released by hip hop artist Jeru the Damaja. Much of the production of the album was handled by legendary hip hop producer DJ Premier. Some consider this album to be Premier's best work.[1] The album also features fellow Gang Starr Foundation member Afu-Ra. Jeru's trademark delivery and vocabulary can be found throughout the project. It is highly significant and is said to have helped revive East Coast hip hop along with other albums such as Nas' Illmatic and Black Moon's Enta Da Stage. An interesting sidenote, the album cover depicts the World Trade Center on fire many years before 9/11.[1]
