Three years after a remarkable indie hip-hop EP manifesto, these L.A. old-school revivalists drop their long-awaited LP.

The four MCs are playful and progressive (if preachy), and the virtuoso DJs quilt vintage funk with surgical scratching and deep-crate sampling. The anti-star attitude is refreshing, too, except for one thing: It undercuts the star power. B
