Black Dialogue

With Black Dialogue, hip-hop supergroup The Perceptionists (featuring Akrobatik, DJ Fakts One, and Mr. Lif) are creating music that doesn't talk to one set of people, and doesn't ever come at you the same way twice. Sometimes angry, sometimes pensive, sometimes hilarious, it's a set of snapshots that complete an important musical family album. And whether they're all starting new again or just continuing a groove that started almost a decade ago, three is still the magic number. And the band of brothers called The Perceptionists are the ones to make that number work for 2005 and beyond.

Musically, the first thing that strikes you after a full listen to the album's sequence is how natural it feels. Whether they're spitting righteous venom about the evil misdeeds of hopefully one-term president George W. Bush or talking about kicking back on their porch shooting the shit about life, love and loss, "Black Dialogue" is exactly how these guys are. F the pretence, F the posing, this is true reality rap. An important thing to point out: although Fakts is the DJ and musical lynchpin of the group, he's not the only producer. Serious heat was also provided by Lif associate from the way-back, El-P ("People For Prez," "Blo" and "Frame Rupture"); Cyrus, an unknown (not for long) but amazingly-talented Brandeis University undergrad ("Memorial Day," "What Have We Got To Lose"); and Florida-based up-and-comer Willie Evans Jr. ("Love Letters," "Black Dialogue," "Breathe In The Sun" and "The Razor"). It's Darwin on the datablend.
