Deep Hearted

Strong Arm Steady

A gritty West Coast underground summit. Dusty soul samples and raspy, heavyweight bars that trade G-funk sunshine for the shadows of the concrete city.

Find on Amazon

It's like a gritty noir film set in LA, but everyone is rapping over the best soul samples you've never heard.

A gritty, street-level confidence tempered by moments of soulful, late-night reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the Madlib-produced beat on 'One Step' creates a dizzying, psychedelic loop that forces the emcees into a tighter pocket.
The explosive entrance of Black Thought and Talib Kweli on 'Co-Operation' which elevates the album's lyrical technicality to a fever pitch.
The haunting, cinematic string arrangement on 'Streetlights' that perfectly captures the isolation of the urban experience.
