One of the finest hip-hop duos from the left coast; Self Scientific comes up nothing short of excellence on this release. Doing real hip-hop in L.A. can have it's challenges, first you have to compete with all the big name gangsta rappers still feeding off their glory days for shows and sales, second you have to compete with a huge and ever expanding underground scene, that truthfully isn't rivaled by any other place other than the big apple. Fortunately for Chace Infinite and Dj Khalil they already know these things and they already have done them. Combining the raw lyricism of Chace Infinite, and the extraodinary beat concoctions of Dj Khalil, they form a group out west that has appeal all over. few heads can deny their skill and sound, and that's why this tape is fuckin crazy. Of Gods and Gangstas finds the two up to their old tricks, providing listeners with great L.A. inspired soundscapes, along the way recruiting a host of underground sensations to showcase some of Khalil's production. Don't pass this up, this is hip-hop completely un filtered and in true form.
