And on Black Friday, WAR will release The World is a Ghetto: 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, an incredible 5LP box set that features a newly remastered edition of the original album, six unreleased bonus tracks, and the previously unheard “making of” recordings, tracing the entire evolution of “The Cisco Kid,” “The World is a Ghetto” and more.
With over 20 gold, platinum and multi-platinum records that produced eternal hits like “The Cisco Kid,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends” and “Low Rider,” WAR have earned their place as a cornerstone of American music. For over five decades, the group has spread harmony and inclusion across generations and cultures, and now – after selling 50 million albums and counting – their trailblazing sound and progressive vision make them as relevant today as they’ve always been. Songs from The World is a Ghetto have been sampled, covered and cited by Janet Jackson, Tupac, Willie Nelson, Rage Against The Machine, Sublime, Deep Purple and more. Everyone from The Muppets to Dave Matthews, De La Soul, George Lopez, Kendrick Lamar, Beastie Boys, George Clinton, The Isley Brothers and so many others have honored WAR’s music.
