It was released in October 22, 1996, via Tommy Boy Records.[1] The recording sessions took place at Ameraycan Studios in North Hollywood. The album was produced by members DJ Lethal and Everlast. It features guest appearances from GuRu and Sadat X and contributions from Cokni O'Dire and Divine Styler.

The album's title is a line from William Cullen Bryant's poem "The Battle-Field".[2] The album is called Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again, but the cover of the CD reads Truth Crushed To Earth Will Rise Again.

The album peaked at number 47 on the Billboard 200 and number 31 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States, and number 69 in the Netherlands.

It was preceded with two singles: "Pass the Jinn" b/w "Heart Full of Sorrow" and "Fed Up". Its second single, "Fed Up", reached number 68 on the UK singles chart and number 45 in New Zealand.
