DILATED PEOPLES 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: The 45 Kings are back with more of that boombap goodness that we hip hop heads can never get enough of. This time they have unearthed two previously unavailable tunes from Dilated Peoples on this today 7". There is a timelessness to 'Work The Angles' that makes it immediately easy to love: those dusty drum breaks, the DJ scratches, the gnarly riffs. On the reverse, 'Worst Comes To Worst' slips into a deeper, more reflective vibe with romantic melodic motifs and a rolling beat that you hope never ends. These are two gens that very much need to be heard.

Review: Dilated Peoples with another fine outing on the Abb Records imprint. "You Can't Hide, You Can't Run" is a typical helping of DP goodness, while on the flip, "Kindness For Weakness" sees the boys joined by Talib Kweli for a stellar "feel good" track for the coming summer.
