Explicit Lyrics

KU is proud to celebrate a powerful moment in hip-hop history, in which the underground found space amongst the mainstream. 20 plus years ago, Dilated Peoples dropped their first studio album, 'The Platform'. The Los Angeles-based group was composed of legendary Beat Junkies member, DJ Babu, staple underground and prolific emcee, Evidence, and fellow Los Angeles-based rapper, Rakaa. The crew formed in the early 90s, exploring their craft and dynamic for many years before making their imprint known and gaining the attention of Capitol Records, who'd eventually put out 'The Platform' in the year 2000.Mainstream Hip Hop and specifically the greater Los Angeles area radio during those years was inundated with West Coast Gangster Rap. Dilated Peoples offered a different look for the genre, steering away from celebrating gun violence and misogyny. Stepping into the light with notes of positivity, boosting one another up, thought-out observations about social issues, and catharsis.
