California, United States (1998 – present)
Jel became familiar with dose through his good friend and radio partner, Kevin Beacham. But it wasn’t until early 1998 when some tapes were exchanged through mutual friend, Mr. Dibbs, that the two realized their potential together. Soon after a few phone conversations, jel started making frequent sojourns from Chicago to Cincinnati to record with dose. The duo’s first couple of tracks ended up on dose’s first, self-released record Hemispheres (1998). Then from April of 1998 to January of 1999 they solidified their chemistry, putting the tracks together that would end up on themselves’ Them. That same Spring dose and jel, along with Slug of Atmosphere and Sole and Alias of Live Poets began recording Deep Puddle Dynamics’s The Taste Of Rain… Why Kneel. Out of that record, the concept of Anticon was somewhere born — whose founding dose and jel would become an integral part of, later bringing them both to the Bay Area.
Since then, both artists have continued to push boundaries, producing and collaborating on a range of work far outside the constructs of traditional genre forms. They’ve expanded their use and understanding of their equipment, as well as perfected their live performances. Their record, the no music.

I remember when Good People Check first came out, every MC in the underground (as we called it back then) thought it might be about them. Gold Teeth Will Roll seems like Good People Check 2009 to me.
