Hell's Kitchen (Maxim album)

Hell's Kitchen is the debut album by Maxim of The Prodigy. The album is somewhat different from his previous works with The Prodigy, as it features styles varying from trip hop, R&B and UK garage. The album has also a varied list of guests, including Skin from Skunk Anansie, Chris Corner of Sneaker Pimps and rare appearances from the likes of alternative rappers Divine Styler and the late Too Poetic (aka Grym Reaper of the Gravediggaz who is known by his Tony Titanium pseudonym on this album).

  • The album features one of Tony Titanium's last collaborations as he later died of colon cancer.

  • The font used on the album is called Wishbone, designed as a calligraphic experiment by UK typographer and photographer Karl Randay.
