PRINCE – HITnRUN Phase Two: 10th Anniversary – 2LP – Black Vinyl [JAN 30]

2LP – Black Vinyl (2026 Reissue)

NPG Records and Paisley Park Enterprises in partnership with Legacy Recordings celebrate the 10th anniversary of Princes HITnRUN phase one and HITnRUN phase two. Available on vinyl, for the first time, and back on CD.

Prince first used the term Hit n Run to describe pop-up shows that he would perform throughout his career. In the summer of 2015, Prince announced that he would release an album by the same name and that things were about to get experimental, weird, and super funky.

Released just three months after phase one, HITnRUN phase two was the 39th and final studio album released during Princes lifetime on December 12, 2015. Credited as produced, arranged, composed and perf4med by Prince & The New Power Generation, the album came at a heated cultural moment and was deeply rooted in the pressing social issues of the time. HITnRUN phase 2 was released just days before a Baltimore judge declared a mistrial in the case of William Porter, an officer who had been charged in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray. It was an incident that Prince addressed in moving detail in the albums opening track, Baltimore, which had been released earlier that year as a single. The album also included several previously released tracks, some of which had been recorded much earlier than 2015. BLACK MUSE, for example, was initially tracked at Paisley Park in 2010, and XTRALOVEABLE was first released as a single in 2011.
