Disturb n tha Peace is the third album by the American musician Professor Griff. It was released on November 17, 1992, and was his final album released on Luke Records. The album was produced by Professor Griff, Luke Skyywalker, Kavon Shah, DJ Spider, DJ Toomp, Tone Control, Snake Eyez, and Society. Two singles were released, "Blackdraft" and "Sista, Sista," but neither charted. "Sista, Sista" is a tribute to Black mothers.
Critical reception
The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote: "Religion and politics aside, Griff has produced an intriguing, funky album. He proves himself world-class as a rapper, producer and arranger, mixing the usual studio trickery and sampling with a tough-sounding band that gets Griff's anger over to great effect." The Sun Sentinel determined that the album "reveals a more mature raconteur who adroitly—and often humorously—exposes the absurd side of racial friction, while advocating black self-containment."
The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph said that "the raps, stylishly put together and ringing with authority, are masterfully executed." The Manchester Evening News opined that "an unbridled hatred overwhelms any merit in Griff's arguments."
