Album Notes & Community Reviews

Solidifying their status in the West Coast underground, the Los Angeles trio delivers a clinic in sample-heavy, DJ-centric boom-bap. 'Expansion Team' perfectly balances intricate turntablism with rhythmic, conscious lyricism, resulting in a distinctly urban, nocturnal hip-hop experience.
