Dilated Peoples - 20/20 (Capitol)

Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

Their fourth and most lucid effort, 20/20, though devoid of chart-topping hits, contains thought-provoking concoctions like the minimalist backpacker anthem “Back Again.” On the track, Evidence proclaims, write rhymes,” over a stuttering bass line. The articulate “You Can’t Hide, You Can’t Run” — about life’s unpredictability — exhibits the group’s improved rhyme schemes over funky scratches and a lively piano. Despite a few failed revolutionary anthems (“Firepower,” featuring Capleton), DP still has enough verbal ammunition to ignite the mind.
