I picked up their debut LP Nia this week and damn if it isn't their best effort overall, their subsequent efforts are all good but Nia just seems more focused, it's almost like a concept album. Deception is one hell of a great track, there seems to be a running theme of spirituality and god running through their work, I'll be honest, I'm not a huge Hip Hop fan, could anyone recommend some hip hop similar to Blackalicious?

People Under the Stairs - your best bet.

The Roots, Gangstarr(earlier stuff), De la Soul.

Those are the kinds of groups mentioned in tandem with Blackalicious.

NIA is really tough to beat. I'd recommend some of Lyrics Born's solo efforts. The two that I have are both pretty strong releases. You might also enjoy the recent Mighty Underdogs album, featuring some Blackalicious members and friends.

Oh, and definitely Gift of Gab's FOURTH DIMENSIONAL ROCKETSHIPS GOING UP. Quality.

I have Lyrics Born 'Same Shit, Different Day' which is a really cool, funky album.
