Dilated Peoples: Evidence, Rakaa, DJ Babu. Additional personnel: Black Thought, Tha Liks, Phil Da Agony, J-Rocc, Rhettmatic, Melo-D (vocals). Producers include: DJ Premier, Da Beatminerz, The Alchemist, Joey Chavez, Juju. Engineers include: Kevin Bergman, Leo "Swift" Morris, Eddie Sancho. With its sophomore release the hip-hop trio Dilated Peoples expands its repertoire and adds guests such as East Coast-based DJ Premier and Public Enemy cohort Harry Allen. The socially conscious lyrics are a cut above the usual gangsta stylings, revealing a thoughtful worldview that, though it may be inspired by the ingestion of certain controlled substances, is none the less compelling for that. Though they originate from the hip-hop community, Dilated Peoples have a lot in common with '70s Jamaican stars such as Prince Far I and Max Romeo, in that it's not just the ganja talking here--these cuts are coherent and thought-provoking. They cover international finance in "Trade Money," international conflict in "War," and strife closer to home in the ghetto-flavored "Panic," never descending to the guns 'n' hoes imagery of some of their contemporaries, bringing dignity to the party, along with some dirty, funked-up beats.
