## Description

Dilated Peoples have released four acclaimed albums, toured extensively and enjoyed sustained success as solo artists. Now, after an eight-year hiatus, Dilated Peoples returns with DIRECTORS OF PHOTOGRAPHY, the group's remarkable debut album under the Expansion Team/Rhymesayers Entertainment banner. Evidence, Rakaa (Iriscience) and DJ Babu's new collection demonstrates how the group has been able to remain loyal to it's signature sound, style and sentiment while adding new and dramatic artistic wrinkles to it's already-extensive musical repertoire. With DIRECTORS OF PHOTOGRAPHY, Dilated Peoples shows it only improved during it's hiatus, returning to a genre quick to dismiss veterans. 'I think the statement we made this time around is that the three of US are still here standing, making quality Hip Hop from our hearts,' DJ Babu says. 'We never chased trends and we always stayed true to ourselves. Even with the changes in the music industry and the world, we still managed to stay cutting edge and classic and, in many ways, independent. This LP is very full circle for us.'

    How to Expand Your Lens with Focus
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2014*

Fifteen-years ago, this crew held down the titular track for one of the most prolific compilations ever offered the hip-hop community: the legendary 'Soundbombing II'.  That project is where I first heard of these left-coast cats, and I knew immediately what was up!  The first two albums were purchased without hesitation; I would constantly search for their guest-spots and production contributions elsewhere, and would spread the word to know-not's.  Their vision by '20/20' was not very clear though, as their consummate style seemed to be loosening up more than a bit.  Most of the side-projects only reminded me of what those earlier works were like [salute to 'Cats & Dogs' and 'Crown of Thorns', respectively]; and certainly heads pined for a freshly inspired sound, as a team once more.  Eight-years later, all those growing pains and birth pangs developed into this gem.What makes this album brilliant--and my pick for AOY-nomination--is the intricacy of detail and maintenance of overall focus; while not being a concept piece, it definitely holds an understated thematic/sonic scope (hence the title).  Cohesion with substance and nuance are rare project finds for any genre of music, artist or group.  There has to be an obsession for keeping "The Bigger Picture" in view amidst the setting of foundation pieces in the structure, as it were (pun intended, but doubly so given the fact that on the regular edition, the aforementioned track closes the work with the genuine feeling of an end-credits song).  Although "Opinions May Vary" [most amazing track on the album], the clutching-classic area of this offering takes place between "Figure it Out" and "Reversal": here we have not only the midpoint--but the perfect time to throw in an opportunity for Babu to flex beastly style and skill on the 1's&2's; with "LYTFA" literally kicking off the second half [as your thoughts should have flown-the-coup by this time], and thus setting up Rak & Ev's solo minutes in genius fashion.  Plus, the throwback section of sorts, with "Hallelujah" finalizing the bonus-track version--the whole crew is reminiscent of the damage done on the first album by having your "Eardrums Pop (RMX)" close things out.  I would venture to say that this cut here is a pure monster, tied for my favorite track.Describing that is not nearly as pleasant as hearing it, having the aesthetics explain it themselves.  It's simply a pattern that I noticed, and am highly doubtful of it being an accidental arrangement--order is just as important as selection.  The Expansion Team also avoided [thankfully] the cardinal sin--given today's world of free music downloads--of making an overly lengthy hiatus-return project (today's ethic and etiquette, while through the previous decade exposed to technological influences that have resulted in ever-shortening attention spans, demands only an hour of time or less to show and prove).  Additionally, if one counts the number of tracks, having more than twelve is usually a flirtation with boredom and fatal redundancy.  There was a time when excess and slight bloating--speaking time-wise--had been acceptable or preferred ('Illadelph Halflife' and 'Moment of Truth' remain great examples of this).  Largely, however, that level of patience and appreciation has fizzled out; quality now is undoubtedly dependent upon and determined by the maximal use of limited time-space, a more concentrated effort and potency.All of the boom-bap elements were present, the production had familiarity and innovation couched in both head-nodding and laidback approaches, each song had a necessary placement, the two interludes were neither filler nor distraction, guests did not crowd the party, the entire attempt was decidedly thoughtful and meaningful--everyone brought their A-game, from producer to deejay to emcee; this is matured underground hip-hop at its absolute best!  I expected nothing other than a potential classic work here, and thus am not at all surprised to have heard just that; these three "Directors" have blessed the culture with a skip-proof play.  Mind Dilated.

Great Album!!! Long time Dilated fan, this one is on another level. Bought collector copy which said "like new" it is in much better condition in my opinion. Not a scratch on the disc!! Plays over & over. All inserts were included as stated, which also is such a cool addition to the theme of the album. Very happy with both seller and product!

    The Directors have developed a quality portrait
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2014*

Classic effort right here. I love that Evidence, Rakaa, Babu, and their associates have fallen right back in to their rightful places.  Phenomenal production, rhymes and cohesiveness make this a must have.  Get the bonus track edition.
