Easy Listening 4 Armageddon is the first studio album by American hip hop musician Mike Ladd. It was released on Scratchie Records in 1997.
Tony Green of JazzTimes gave the album a favorable review, saying: "Ignoring the all too common impulse to pile texture on top of texture, Ladd constructs 12 tracks that cajole as effectively as his richly imagistic poetry." Dan LeRoy of AllMusic commented that "through a series of lo-fi beats and loops that make stunning use of a few choice samples, Ladd creates an eerie soundscape that perfectly matches his muttered musings."
Greg Kot of Chicago Tribune called it "one of the most accomplished hip-hop debuts in recent years."
