Heroz4Hire is the third studio album by hip hop artist Jeru the Damaja. It was produced by Jeru himself, unlike his first two albums, which were produced by DJ Premier.
Album information This album lacked the critical acclaim of Jeru's first two albums. It also did not chart, or have any charting singles.
The album features Miz Marvel and Lil' Dap (of Group Home) as guests. Afu-Ra is not featured, as on Jeru's previous albums.
Miz Marvel, a member of Jeru's Supahuman Klik and Knowsavage record label, appears on four tracks.
Reception
John Bush of AllMusic enjoyed the production, claiming that it was similar to Premier's work in its rawness, but with fewer catchy hooks.
Q (6/00, p. 108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Creative and coherent...the lyrics are intelligent, and the record benefits from contributions by the very talented Mizmarvel."
The Wire (5/00, p. 53) - "Harks back to a primordial age of HipHop basics, and there's no question that he's got the lyrical flow and gaunt studio talent to pull it off....boldly speaking of purity and survival."
