Displaying equal amounts versatility and capability, the acclaimed underground duo from Oakland delivers another inspired effort of challenging, next-level hip-hop with their sixth LP, THE TAKEOVER. Over 15 impressively diverse tracks, producer DJ Amplive and MC Zumbi show and prove they can flip virtually every hip-hop style imaginable, moving from the traditional boom-bap of “Take Over” and the Afrika Bambaataa-inspired electro of “DJ DJ” to experiments in house and trip-hop (“Antenna”), ATL crunk (“Geek to the Beat,” “Juice Juice”), rock-rap (“In the Mornin’”), and dirty south hip-pop ala Andre 3000 (“Radio”). Devin the Dude, Jennifer Johns, K. Flay, and Brother Ali are featured.
