Ward Of The State is the 1992 full-length debut album by Askari X, released on Righteous Records (catalog RR200). A Bay Area rapper with deep roots in the Ansars collective — whose 1991 album Righteous Black Guerillas preceded this release — Askari X delivers uncompromising, politically charged hip-hop with direct, unflinching views. Preceded by the cassette-only EP Recorded Live From The State Pen, Ward Of The State is a rare and essential piece of early 1990s conscious rap, highly regarded by fans of Dead Prez, X-Clan, Immortal Technique, and Public Enemy.
