High) or both (Buh/oon Mindstate). Versatility After four years their triumphant return to grace came in the form of a three album project that opened with AOI: Mosaic Thump, landing square on the money in a new age of sophisticated, soulful hip hop. Consistency The following instalment, AOI: Bionix. cemented their stature as contemporary movers and shakers. and furthered the roll-call of high profile collaborators. They finally parted company with Tommy Boy Records. and last year's Grind Date proved a continuation on that precedent: quality production and cunning lyrics.
Longevity Peerless after 16 years of knocking out cuts for the dancefloor and lyrics for the soul. they continue to record and pertorm on their own terms. Living by the double-edged sword of past glories and present ambitions. they are the last of hip hop's golden era groups killing it live on the circuit.
