20/20

Dilated Peoples

Heavyweight West Coast boom bap defined by surgical turntable work, dusty soul samples, and a clear-eyed perspective on underground culture.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate late-night city drive album for people who miss when scratching was a lead instrument.

A focused and confident display of technical mastery with a gritty, late-night urban edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The surgical precision of DJ Babu's scratching on the title track, turning vocal snippets into a rhythmic lead instrument.
The way the heavy, distorted bassline on 'Back Again' anchors the track while Evidence delivers his signature slow-flow delivery.
The transition from the 'Green Trees' skit into the driving, soul-infused momentum of the album's opening half.
