Future Profits is the debut album by the American rap duo Blood of Abraham.[2][3] It was produced by Eazy-E, Epic Mazur, and Bilal Bashir. The lyrics deal with Judaism, world religions, and race relations, among other topics.[4][5] The duo supported the album with a North American tour.[6]
Trouser Press determined that "what sets Future Profits apart is the provocative lyrical uses the unorthodox duo finds for religion, Ethiopian heritage and ethnic identity."[10] The Los Angeles Times wrote that "a nimble mix of old school and new school beats supports a Zionist message paralleling hip-hop's standard Afrocentric rhetoric."[8]Rolling Stone opined that "producers Bret 'Epic' Mazur and DJ Lett Loose try too hard to jump on the jazz bandwagon, the awkward rhythms and squealing horns dragging down the occasionally swinging verbal flow."[11]
