Blackalicious

07.07.2003

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

Far frm the trends, pranks and excesses of their over-hyped peers, the Californian duo craft an organic, enveloping and emotional sonic imprint that has no equivalent. Lyricist Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel, have no qualms about tacking themes such as arms, drugs, and the gangsta rap culture. Blackalicious take action by brandishing psychedelic, militant soul music. Even if it's not to everyone's liking! (FFJM © 2003)
