American Hunger is a triple album released on CD.[1] It was released in 2006 by Manhattan, New York rap artist MF Grimm. It is also the first triple album in hip-hop history. It was originally planned for release on July 4, 2004, however multiple delays occurred including MF Grimm's hard drive losing data.
MF Grimm has stated that the album is not intended to be listened to in one sitting, rather it is intended to be taken in over the course of three separate listening sessions, reflecting the names of each disc: "Breakfast," "Lunch" and "Dinner."

American Hunger has received very positive reviews from music critics and fans. AllMusic's Marisa Brown gave the album four stars out of five and called the album "a hard-hitting, provocative record that contains none of the skits or other filler commonly associated with hip-hop".[3] She continued by concluding that the album is "one of the most thought-provoking and intelligent records – in any genre – of the new century".[3] A.J. Henriques of Stylus Magazine gave the album an "A" score and said:

The word "filler" is subjective, but it's astoundingly difficult to apply it to any of the tracks on American Hunger. If pressed, Grimm probably could've made this a double album—but it'd be impossible to say what he'd shelve. Or why. Yeah: some tracks stand out and some are more sonically pleasing than others, but nothing feels out of place thematically and, despite the musical diversity, every part adds up to form a remarkable, cohesive work of art.[5]
Fan reception over the years has been positive, and American Hunger has remained one of MF Grimm's most popular and enduring albums.
