Dilated Peoples Talk About Reconnecting, Crushing Instagram, And Their First Group Album In 8 Years [Video]

Dilated Peoples, one of rap’s most notable underground groups, stopped by Complex a little while back to speak about their recently released project Directors Of Photography. Despite being six albums in, this is the west-coast collective’s first joint release since 2006. We spoke to Evidence, DJ Babu and Rakaa about their hiatus, what it was like reconnecting as a trio, and who they brought into the fold for their newest album. During the discussion they revealed that the title of their album is more than just a clever play on words. Babu, Rakaa, and Ev are all actually really ill photographers in their own right, and they spoke on how they jumped into the hobby and making a name for themselves on Instagram.
