Mr. Lif and his loudmouth crew, the Perceptionists, are back in town tonight, dropping a bit of Bean-town slang on fans and haters alike. Foregoing the allegorical crypto-futurism of his past releases, 2006's Mo' Mega found Mr. Lif showing some genuine emotional vulnerability. The album was proof that there's more to this Definitive Jux crewmember than backpacker hubris and inner-circle big-upmanship. The Perceptionists are equally adept at covering the personal and the political, from enumerating relationship woes to eulogizing slain brothers. Together, they are master portraitists of indie hip-hop's fallen world.
