Evidence, Raaka Iriscience and DJ Babu are firmly entrenched in
the hip-hop community. Ever since 2000's The Platform, Dilated
Peoples have carried an aura that typifies what hip-hop is all
about. Thoughtful lyrics, forceful delivery, pounding beats, smooth
cuts and one of the best live shows in the industry have made the
California-bred trio highly respected in the world of hip-hop.

The newest release from producer/rapper Jay Dee, a.k.a. J.
Dilla, is probably his best effort to date. Sadly, the Detroit
native will not be around to see the success of his album. James
'Jay Dee' Yancey died Friday morning of kidney failure in his Los
Angeles home. He was 32 years old.

While each half of Dangerdoom has been a part of the hip-hop
scene for quite awhile, both recently raised their profiles with
individual album releases of cult status. Producer DJ Danger Mouse
mashed Jay-Z and the Beatles on The Grey Album, while rapper MF
Doom joined with renowned producer Madlib to create the classic
album Madvillain.

With all of the controversy Little Brother inadvertently caused
recently, it is amazing that, despite 9th Wonder's work on Jay-Z's
Black Album and getting signed by Atlantic Records through ABB
Records, the mainstream still has not quite found them.

Hailing from Boston, Mr. Lif and Akrobatik have each carved a
niche in the indie hip-hop circuit, creating quality music and a
solid fan base in the process. Of late, they have worked together
and, after combining with DJ Fakts One, have created The
Perceptionists. Though each individual group member brings his own
set of talents to the table, Black Dialogue is certainly greater
then the sum of its parts.

In trying to find an adjective to describe the life of 50 Cent,
the word chaotic quickly comes to mind. While many are aware he has
been shot nine times, his wealth of beefs with other rappers also
stands out. He has been dissed by the likes of Jay-Z (\I'm about a
dollar, what the fuck is 50 Cents"") and Ghostface (an entire track
on the Supreme Clientele album), and that was before he even became
famous.

Throughout this past year, the direction of indie hip-hop has
been all over the spectrum. As the genre continues to diversify,
more originality and creativity are seen in projects that create
their own path in music. Often, these paths criss-cross in the form
of interesting collaborative projects, such as the Jaylib album or
The Four Horsemen EP, which puts together the haphazard combination
of Killah Priest, Ras Kass, Canibus and Kurupt.

This summer saw the rise of newcomers, the fall of old-timers
and continuation of quality output from some of hip-hop's finest.
Here are a few of the notables:

After a slow start, the summer finally kicked into high gear
with the release of a plethora of hip-hop CDs. Helping themselves
out the most is the entire Weathermen/Mhz crew, who are
establishing themselves as the possible next generation Wu-Tang
Clan. With debut solo albums released by battle rapper Copywrite
(The Highly Exhaulted), possibly psychotic Cage (Movies For The
Blind), eccentric Def Jux front man El-P (Fantastic Damage) and
talented producer RJD2 (Dead Ringer), the Weathermen have their
eyes set on a hip-hop monopoly.

Hip-hop started as a neighborhood activity in New York in the
late 1970s and early 1980s. DJs would make an extemporaneous beat
with the use of two turntables, a crate full of vinyls and a lot of
scratching. Emcees, decked in Adidas wear from head to toe, would
freestyle over these beats using any subject matter that happened
to come into their heads at the time. Back then, hip-hop was all
about having fun.
