Emerging during the nineties period after being discovered by Lord Jamar of Band Nubian, M-1 and Stic.man the duo who perform under the Dead Prez moniker turned jiggy hip hop on its head with their renowned smash 'D.O.P.E', followed up by their monumental hit '(It's Bigger Than) Hip Hop' (below).

Another golden touch was added when Lets Get Free dropped, one of the greatest hip hop albums of its time that saw the duo embark upon numerous political ventures, determined to use the power of hip hop to create an airing legacy for the duo.
