A polished, funk‑infused slice of late‑80s East Coast hip‑hop, Open Sesame finds Whodini blending electro‑funk grooves, smooth R&B hooks and Larry Smith’s signature production style. Originally released in 1987 and certified Gold, the album includes the hit single “Be Yourself” featuring Millie Jackson, alongside deeper cuts that showcase the group’s melodic, radio‑friendly approach. This limited reissue arrives on 180g translucent yellow vinyl, individually numbered and fully remastered — a premium collector’s edition for golden‑era hip‑hop fans.
