“A Future Without a Past… is the debut studio album from Americanhip hop group Leaders of the New School, released in 1991 on Elektra Records. The album is now out of print. The album peaked at 128 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and fifty-three on the R&B Albums chart. Stanton Swihart of Allmusic praised the work, calling the group’s debut “one of the most infectious rap albums ever created.” Nikhil P. Yerawadekar at Oh, Word, while noting that at times the insular focus of the album “make(s) the album as a whole feel… meandering,” still commented that the group “bring(s) great production… new flows, and captivating personalities to the listener’s attention in a most entertaining manner.”
