Blackalicious was an American hip-hop duo from Sacramento, California, made up of rapper Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel. They are noted for Gift of Gab's often tongue-twisting, multisyllabic, complex rhymes and Chief Xcel's soulful production. The duo released four full-length albums: Nia in 1999, Blazing Arrow in 2002, The Craft in 2005, and Imani Vol. 1 in 2015. Gift of Gab died in June 2021.

Damn!

This is some nice stuff; I don't think I have heard of them before, and if I did, I don't remember!

I had to download some of those M4A files so as to add them to my playlist!

This song is about how shallow most rap and hip hop music is today, and how we should be careful what we say because it influences people’s behaviour, especially children.
