"Heroz4Hire" is the third album by hip hop artist Jeru the Damaja.

It is entirely produced by Jeru the Damaja himself unlike his first two albums which both were produced by DJ Premier.

Album information

It is not as highly acclaimed as Jeru's first two albums though, but like his first two albums, it only features one guest. That one guest is not Afu-Ra as it was on prior albums, but instead it is Miz Marvel. Marvel, a member of Jeru's Supahuman Klik and Knowsavage record label, appears on four tracks. "Heroz4Hire" is the first Jeru the Damaja to not chart or to have no charting singles.

Reception

John Bush of Allmusic enjoys the production claiming that it is similar to Premier's work in its rawness, but there are not as many catchy hooks.cite web | last = | first = | url = http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:yvx1z88a2yv1 | title = Heroz4hire at Allmusic.com | format = | work = | publisher = | accessdate = December 20 | accessyear = 2006]

Q magazine (6/00, p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Creative and coherent...the lyrics are intelligent, and the record benefits from contributions by the very talented Mizmarvel."

The Wire (5/00, p.53) - "Harks back to a primordial age of HipHop basics, and there's no question that he's got the lyrical flow and gaunt studio talent to pull it off....boldly speaking of purity and survival."
