Sex and Violence is the final album released by hip hop group Boogie Down Productions; the following year the group's central member, rapper KRS-One, would begin recording under his own name. The cover art was created by painter Robert Williams.

The track "Build And Destroy" deals with KRS-One's ideological differences—as a self-proclaimed humanist—with X-Clan and its brand of Afrocentrism. Previously, and on numerous occasions, the X-Clan had denounced any association with the concept, instead affirming its pro-Black stance. This, according to KRS-One's younger brother and Boogie Down Production's DJ Kenny Parker, was an insinuation that KRS was a "sell-out."^[1]
