This connection is audible in their sound, which epitomizes the sophisticated, jazz-influenced boom bap of the mid-1990s. 5-mic review in The Source, making them a cult legend among crate diggers and underground enthusiasts. The production, largely handled by K-Def, features the signature 'Real Live' sound: heavy drums, melodic jazz samples, and a warm analog mix.
