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.

      Ah yeah also a nice album! This has also jogged my memory of some of the other Quannum MC’s like Lyrics Born and Lateef. Haven’t listened to them for a long time

      Center in the middle of my inner with a riddle

      Smoke a penner put a little bit of ginger in my dinner meal

      Feeling ill stealing the show like a criminal

      Cleaning out the mucus in your grill like benadryl
