Digital Underground

Majorly slept-on '98 release from the funkiest crew in hip-hop. After nearly a decade in the business, Digital Underground are still going off, with their bugged-out combo of sex rhymes, thick grooves, alter-egos, and charisma galore. Guest spots from KRS, the Biz, and Big Pun add to the fun. "The Mission" and "Man's Girl" are both fantastic.

Imparts new flavor, if not flava, to the word "lubricious" ("Who Got the Gravy?" "Wind Me Up," "The Odd Couple") (Grade - ***)
