They were High Society Collective. Three outta four have at least 1 classic solo album to their credit in addition to their seminal “Circa MMXI: The Collective” from 2011. So what was/is Natalie’s solo shortcoming? No official album to her credit, only mixtapes and EPs. As for the rest?

Sho Baraka’s now-classic Talented Xth (2013) follows his groundbreaking Lions and Liars fro 2010.

Swoope just dropped the acclaimed Sinema and 2011’s seminal Wake Up.

J.R. gave us Metamorphosis and Life In Stereo. As a producer he also won a Grammy in 2013 for his work on Lecrae’s Gravity.

I don’t know if there’ll be another crew like this in hiphop. Meanwhile, check out the links and peep the tunes. you’ll be amazed at what you’ve probably missed out on.
