Blackalicious

Blackalicious is a California-based hip hop duo made up of rapper Gift of Gab and DJ/producer Chief Xcel. They are noted for Gift of Gab's often fast-paced, multi-syllabic, complex rhymes and Chief Xcel's diverse range of beats. The pair have released three full-length albums (1999's Nia, 2002's Blazing Arrow and 2005's The Craft) that have won them considerable critical acclaim and a sizable following.
A third full length, titled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005. The album peaked at #102 on the Billboard 200.

In 2007, The Gift of Gab, Lateef the Truthspeaker, and Headnodic formed a group called The Mighty Underdogs, releasing an EP through the Gift of Gab's distribution company Giftstribution. They are scheduled to release an LP titled Dropping Science Fiction in early 2008.

In 2008, betterPropaganda named Blackalicious the 23rd most influential artist of the decade.
