Dilated Peoples
From Free net encyclopedia
Dilated Peoples are a hip hop group who have achieved great fame in the underground hip hop community, although they have had little mainstream success, with the exception of the song This Way, a collaboration with Kanye West, in 2004.
DJ Babu from the DJ crew Beat Junkies, Evidence, and Rakaa joined together in 1992 (see 1992 in music) and released Third Degree and Work the Angles, establishing them as favorites with the underground scene and rap critics. They eventually signed to Capitol Records and released The Platform (2000, see 2000 in music) to more critical acclaim. Their sophomore set Expansion Team was released in 2001 led by the Alchemist-produced Worst Comes To Worst, which utilised a vocal sample from Mobb Deep's Survival Of The Fittest and a musical one from William Bell's I forgot to be your lover. Their third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart. In addition to the Kanye West-produced single, This Way, it also featured the single Who's Who?, which was also included as a track on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart. Their latest album, 20/20, was released in 2006.
