Lovely to have this album MP3s after so many years. Bomb The Bass is hard to pin to a specific genre. I think like alot of groups at the time the bounderies of each were being pushed. Definately Hip Hop. Tracks to check for in my opinion, and speaking about music that has dominated playcount-wise and stood the test of time, I'd have to check for tracks like Say A Little Prayer.
