BAY AREA HIP HOP PROVOCATEURS RISE ANEW
 Themselves |
Seven months after the release of theFREEhoudini - the celebrated mixtape that announced Themselves' return (for more pop over here) - Doseone and Jel dropped CrownsDown, a careful and vicious exhibition of mastered rap tactics and sampling ethics, on October 27 on Anticon. Themselves' third album proper has been gestating in the gut of this seminal group for some time. It's both a return to form and a honing of what's come before (Subtle, cLOUDDEAD, Deep Puddle) - both the opus that these lionhearted two were always meant to make, and the album that their hip-hop-obsessed teenaged selves always hoped to hear.
Themselves hits the road next week to bring the live incarnation of their rag 'n' bone genius to the stage.
