The Equinox is the third and final album by heralded Queens Hip Hop duo Organized Konfusion, released on September 13, 1997 on Priority Records. The group branched out to work with a number of outside producers, including Diamond D, Showbiz, Buckwild and Rockwilder. The effort is a concept album, with tracks linked together by storytelling skits. Included on the album are two very ambitious tracks: "Invetro" and "Hate". "Invetro" gives voice to the unborn, with Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po rapping as unborn twins, one hoping for their mother to get an abortion, the other praying for a chance to live, respectively. "Hate" features Monch and Po rapping as bigots. These tracks follow in the same steps as "Stray Bullet" from their previous album, giving voices to things or people that can't or won't speak.
