War – The World Is a Ghetto

A landmark 1972 funk/soul release and one of the defining albums of early ’70s West Coast soul.

The World Is a Ghetto became Billboard’s best-selling album of 1973 and features War at their peak — blending funk, Latin rhythms, soul, jazz, and socially conscious storytelling.

Includes the massive hit:

• “The Cisco Kid”
• “The World Is a Ghetto”
• “Where Was You At”
• “City, Country, City”

This album captures the gritty, streetwise atmosphere of early 1970s urban America while delivering deep grooves and extended instrumental jams.

A cornerstone record for funk collectors and an essential title in any serious soul collection.
