This group has such an ill vibe and they play off of each others skills really well.  This is a perfect example of the sum of the whole being greater than its parts.  These emcees come together to make some westcoast hip hop goodness.  Visionaries consists of LMNO, KeyKool, 2Mex, Zen, Dannu and DJ Rhettmatic.  The reason why I like Visionaries so much is because they definitely lean towards the positive side and they are kind of the perfect representation of what diversity is all about.  They are a total mixing pot of ethnicities, rap styles and characters and they  realize this and feel empowered because of it.  This album has beats from some real dope producers as well as a great feature from Living Legends.

Evidence is like the real mans rapper.  He is always talking about shit that is so easy to relate to.  Realistic in nature, optimistic between the lines.  Some people think this album is a lil boring because the beats are somewhat similar but I think that adds a cohesiveness to the album and I appreciate the topics put forth on this release.
