Born Dead

Born Dead is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Body Count. The album was released on September 6, 1994. Lyrical subject matter includes war, drugs, death, murder and the mosh pit. Among other tracks, the album features a cover of Billy Roberts' "Hey Joe," performed in the style of Jimi Hendrix' recording of the song, as originally featured on the Are You Experienced album. Body Count's cover of the song was first featured on the Hendrix tribute album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. In the liner notes, Ice-T dedicates the album "to all the people of color throughout the entire world: Asian, Latino, Native American, Hawaiian, Italian, Indian, Persian, African, Aboriginal and any other nationality that white supremacists would love to see born dead." Born Dead peaked at #74 on the Billboard 200. It's the last album to feature Mooseman on bass, since he left the band prior the recording of their next album, Violent Demise: The Last Days, and he was murdered in 2001 on a drive-by shooting.
