Dilated Peoples

Expansion Team

Editor's Review:

If words were weapons, Dilated Peoples' Rakaa and Evidence would be some of the most skilled warriors in the battle, and DJ Babu…well, just stay out of this world battle champ's way when he's on the 1s and 2s. The result of the trio's latest collaborations is 17 tracks that invariably embody the true elements of hip-hop music. From Babu's deadly vinyl slicing and beat reconstruction ("Dilated Junkies") to the clever, intelligently forceful and meaningful nature of Dilated's lyrics ("Worst Comes To Worst," "Clock Work" et al), this loyally independent crew's music celebrates hip-hop culture and humanity to the truest, and does it by sticking to the basic tenets of the genre: hard rhymes and rugged beats. True talents just can't be knocked.
