People have been wondering whats been going on with Dilated Peoples lately. After the group released 20/20 on Capitol Records, Dilated left the label and hasnt been heard from since. Evidence released The Weatherman LP last year on ABB and some speculation ensued that the group would be disbanding. The rumors couldnt be further from the truth and Evidence spoke to HipHopDX yesterday about Dilateds future.
We have been getting a lot if inquires from labels about what our next move is being that we are free agents as of last year,Ev said. We decided to go back to the lab and create the majority of the LP before we even return any phone calls.
We own our studio and between Alchemist, Babu and myself, (we) are completely capable of making the independent we have been dreaming to make for a few years now, he continues. Of course that doesnt mean that Sid Roams or DJ Premier havent already been invited to be a part of the 5th studio album from Dilated.
There is no title for the upcoming Dilated album as of yet but in the meanwhile Babu and Rakaa will be working on solo projects.
Rakaa-Iriscience is working on his solo LP, Crown Of Thorns slated for 08 release as well as Babu completing, Duck Season 3 coming out soon on Nature Sounds. Hopefully the new Dilated will follow all 3 of our solo albums and you will really know us on an individual basis through these (solo) LPs.
The group will also be performing at Paid Dues on March 22nd in San Bernardino CA and will be coming to a city near you.
