Untitled

30,000 Leagues Under the Scene is the debut album by British hip-hop group 30,000 Bastards (30KB), released in January 2008 on the Amoebic Productions label.

Production was largely handled by 30KB members Artikal-10 and Diss-1, with two tracks produced by crew associate Crewdson and one from Test Subjectz. Guest vocals on "N.W.W." are provided by Living Larceny.

The album's title, conceived by rapper AcheZenPains, is a play on both the group's name and the title of Jules Verne's 1870 science fiction novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

The album was received with intrigue, with Hip Hop Connection magazine notably asking of it, "what the hell is this supposed to be?"
