Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving long before their explosive transformation into global pop-dance superstars, the Los Angeles trio's debut is a surprisingly organic, highly playful foray into conscious alternative hip-hop. Accompanied extensively by a live backing band, the record emphasizes positive lyricism and jazzy, laid-back instrumental grooves heavily inspired by A Tribe Called Quest.
