I don't normally highlight a single but in this case the New Jersey-based Organic Thoughts crew stands out despite the fact that they're all-Asian (not a gimmick, it's by coincidence). The crew actually consists of an art director/graphic designer, a financial specialist, a computer programmer, and two college students--interesting to say the least. Now that,Aeos an interesting concept. The Spanish-influenced debut single exhibits the talents Diwrekt, Fraze (winner of Guitar Center's 2000 turntable competition and runner-up in Linkin Park NYC battle and NYs DMC), female MC El Gambina (think Lady Bug of Digable Planets), DJ Reason and DJ On Ponyt. Illmind of Organized Konfusion handles production and R&B vocalist Uniq smoothes it out. The b-side even has Peril-L of the Mountain Brothers rockin' it with El Gambina. "Be Alright" presented them for the break of 2004 while their full-length LP "The Purest Form"--dropping now--will try to ride them for the rest of the year.
