Purpose Dwellers - Sacrificial Balance (2008)

Purpose Dwellers - Sacrificial Balance (2008) I/O Records

Purpose Dwellers is a hip hop group for real heads and close friends of mine.  They are based out of San Gabriel Valley CA. on the eastside of Los Angeles.  Tracks are a mixture of samples and live instruments with raps that speak about life, relationships, ups, downs, and exposing fake societies.  The group is Isolated and Soil.08 and DJ ADM.  All beats are produced by Isolated for I/O Productions except "Year Long Days" produced by Soil.08 for Video Wall Banger Production.  Additional instrumentation by Dominic Padilla of Domestic Fury and Joaquin Pacheco of Inner City Soul.
