Recording

Recorded for the 1990 debut album Holy Intellect, the track featured Poor Righteous Teachers members Wise Intelligent, Culture Freedom and Father Shaheed. Tony D produced the record for Profile during the groups first major release period. Released by Profile in 1990, Rock Dis Funky Joint became the groups breakout single and reached number 4 on Billboard Hot Rap Singles. It helped bring Poor Righteous Teachers Five Percenter message and Trenton identity to a national hip hop audience. The track remains Poor Righteous Teachers signature single and a defining record from Holy Intellect. Its use of War and its continued appearance in old school hip hop retrospectives have kept it central to the groups catalogue.
