Album Notes & Community Reviews

In a groundbreaking crossover project, the British acid jazz pioneers enlisted a premier roster of American underground hip-hop artists to rhyme over their live, organic instrumentation. 'Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol. 1' features infectious, funk-heavy grooves backing MCs like Guru, The Pharcyde, and Main Source. The album heavily influenced the live-band aesthetic of alternative hip-hop and the burgeoning neo-soul movement of the 1990s.
