Hard 2 Obtain

The Long Island rap trio consisting of MCs Taste and DL and DJ Six Seven, followed in the storied Strong Isle rap tradition of EPMD, Rakim, De La Soul, and Leaders of the New School. In 1994, the three-man group effected a smoothed-out East Coast timbre in stark contrast to the hardcore gangster rap blossoming on both coasts. Their initial single, "LI Groove," found a niche with basement hip-hop heads, and their debut album, Ism and Blues, followed on it's strength.
