Main Offenders ~ Hip Hop Truth When We Need It Most

The Main Offenders are yet another Vancouver based group I happen to love. Aspire, Katch23 and ill-literate's debut album 'Depth Perception' is a refreshing diamond in the rough, where lyrics about personal esteem issues, girlfriend trouble and political angst replace the norm of pimped out cars, booty ho's and bling. Their politically charged track 'Heavens Sake' is so chock full of every social issue that you can think of you have to listen a couple of times just to wrap your head around it all. With seamless flows about Bush to Iraq to McDonalds to retirement pensions you can't help with being impressed with the conscience of these three young MC's. With beats from Engineer, Wunderkut, DJ Moves, Scratch Bastid and a special guest appearance by the one and only Wordsworth, I highly recommend any hip hop fan no matter how die hard grab their own copy of 'Depth Perception'. The following is a video for their first single 'Slum Of The City'.....enjoy!
