Los Angeles, United States (1992 – present)
Dilated Peoples is a hip-hop group that has achieved great fame in the underground hip-hop community, although their only real mainstream success was the song This Way, a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West.
DJ Babu (from the DJ crew Beat Junkies), Evidence, and Rakaa joined together in 1992 in Los Angeles, CA and released Third Degree andWork The Angles, which were quickly established as favorites in the underground scene and among rap critics.
They eventually signed to Capitol and in 2000 released The Platform, to more critical acclaim. Their sophomore set Expansion Team was released in 2001, led by the Alchemist-produced single Worst Comes To Worst, which sampled from Mobb Deep’s Survival Of The Fittest. Their third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA’s Billboard 200 Albums Chart. In addition to the Kanye West-produced single, This Way, it also featured the single Who’s Who?, which was also included as a track on the Need for Speed: Underground and SSX 3 soundtracks, and peaked at #35 on the UK Singles Chart.
In 2006, they returned with the singleBack Again, produced by The Alchemist. The trio’s fourth album, 20/20, debuted on February 21, 2006.
In 2007 they released The Release Party. This package included a feature-length documentary on DVD as well as EP featuring new songs and remixes.

I'd say Expansion Team is their most solid album. 20/20 and Neighborhood Watch have a bunch of fantastic joints, but a few lacklustre ones drag the overall quality down (especially with 20/20). The Platform is great as well, but it wasn't really recorded as an album - it was more a collection of their earlier vinyl singles + a few new songs to make it a full-length album. Go with Expansion Team, you won't be disappointed.

Start with 20/20, it's the my favourite personally, but make sure you listen to them all at some point!

And don't forget about Expansion Team, Worst Come to Worst is a great song. Dunno about The Platform. It's pretty good.
