Just for taking so long I'm adding a Gab solo track onto the list as well.
I haven't. And it's totally my bad. I will, right now!

Spoiler for FREEDOM FORM FLOWING:
^ While I love R.A., I'm not a huge fan of this song. They rap too damn fast on this track for my taste! That double time or triplicate shit is a good way to show off your skills, but damn. The beat is on point, though!

There's a lot more I can talk about, such as their later material and especially Gab's solo career, but those are some good starting points for the duo. Hope you like it!
^ I love it. I get a Black Thought and Mos Def vibe. Still not sold on them though. And I apologize for taking so long!

Thanks for listening, Merit. I'm glad you enjoyed at least some of them. The last one I think you might be interested is this gem from their 1999 A2G EP, which I firmly consider one of their all-time best tracks:

I'll download their catalogue and listen in-depth once I get a new computer or get mine fixed. I'm still surviving off of a live Linux distro. I tried to partition and re-install Windows myself, but I'm pretty sure I just made the problem worse and fucked up any chances of recovering my data.
