Jesus Price Supastar

Jesus Price Supastar is the sophomore studio album from Duck Down artist Sean Price. The album was released on January 30, 2007.

The album follows a trend Price started with Donkey Sean Jr. and continued throughout the rest of his career. The title is a play on words. Jesus Price Supastar rhymes with Jesus Christ Superstar, the title of a 1970 rock opera featuring music from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Price originally thought about naming the album “Mighty Flow Young” a play on Mighty Joe Young which was a 1949 remake of the movie King Kong. He references both films on the song “King Kong”. He also previously referenced Mighty Joe Young on the song “Monkey Barz” from his first album of the same name. Price decided against continuing his ape themed album titles:

“I was gonna run with this whole ape theme for every album but Dru was like – yo, you’re fuckin’ crazy. So I was like, alright, forget about it then.”

Jesus Price Supastar features production from PF Cuttin, 9th Wonder, Illmind, Tommy Tee and Khrysis.

The album received critical acclaim and was the first Boot Camp album since 1999 to break the Billboard Hot chart. It debuted at #16 on the Independent album chart and #196 on the Billboard Hot 200.

Standout tracks include “P-Body”, “Violent”, “King Kong”, “One” and “Mess You Made”.
