For The Craft, its fifth release, BLACKALICIOUS has created a record of such sonic depth and breadth and lyrical ambition that it can proudly stand alongside the work of Bay Area funk fathers Sly Stone and Shuggie Otis, or hip-hop classics like Outkast's Aquemini, The Roots' Things Fall Apart and Gang Starr's Daily Operation. But The Craft is not nostalgia for some "golden era" that never existed. It represents state-of-the-art hip-hop with an expansive worldview. With precise, jazz-heated production, dexterous scratching and deftly executed lyrical acrobatics, Blackalicious take their place among the creme de la creme of the West Coast's underground community. The LIFESAVAS are perpetrators of soul-baked hip-hop dotted with social/spiritual awareness, sharp battle skills, and an idealistic Left Coast outlook that appeals equally to backpack-toting heads and crunchy boho types. Rhyming stylishly and cleverly over beats that smartly balance deep-funk and post-Premier jitters, Lifesavas invoke all corners of the pan-African Diaspora.
