No man....to be completely honest I didn't even know these guys were still active. The last I heard of them was probably a good 15+ years ago.

Yeah I been listening to it since you posted it....it's actually pretty dope. Some of the beats are sound-wise kinda bad but the actual sample placement and arrangement is creative as hell.

@hex @OnlyInCalifornia @R$G META @Billy Ocean

any of yall heard(or, have) this album..



:dahell:

They have 3 albums with Frusciante producing. RZA introduced them to John.
They kind of have that off kilter vibe to their sound like Brainfeeder/Def Jux/Stones Throw. Tough for others to get into, you have to be a fan of nonlinear angular rap like Kool Keith,El-P,Antipop Consortium,Can Ox,Busdriver.

Be interesting to see where they are in a few years. Frusciante fits the spirit of the group. But they seem to me to be a artist's artist type group. Going to take a long time for others to get into them. But BK doesn't seem to care about sales.

I believe the chemistry is so strong with John, they recorded these 3 albums back to back. I wonder what they sound like now. :lupe:
