“Among the more disturbing things about four hundred pound gorillas are the lengths to which people will go to ignore their presence. The raw jazz jam band vibe of Lifted’s debut, Lounge Rap Music – Vol. 1, will inevitably draw comparisons to the first outings of another renowned hip-hop band...â€
“..The objective is to provide a musical respite to the redundant thuggery inundating the airwaves. By providing a broad range of sounds ranging from soothing to celebratory to bombastic, Lifted achieves its goal in an impressive fashion.â€
“..This is quite possibly the most complete hip hop band since The Roots. And what’s more, they seem dedicated to exploring the bounds of hip hop jazz. Lounge Rap Music is definitely an auspicious maiden voyage.â€
