Resurrection is the third album by the rap group Lords of the Underground, released in 1999.

Production

The album was produced by DJ Lord Jazz and K-Def, among others.

Critical reception

The Plain Dealer wrote: "No cornball skits, no cast-of-thousands posse tracks, just two rappers and a disc jockey doing their thing, and doing it well." The Star-Ledger thought that "the Lords are sample-crazy, lifting everything from Bill Withers' 'Ain't No Sunshine' to Sade's 'Jezebel'."

AllMusic wrote that "Resurrection is strongest when it relies on the classic tenets of hip-hop and its MCs' own talent, instead of grafting the latest trend onto an existing formula."
