Dilated Peoples is an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. They achieved notability in the underground hip hop community, although they have had little mainstream success in the US, with the exception of the song "This Way", a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West, Xzibit, Chali 2na and John Legend appearing in the music video. They reached the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart with two tracks, "This Way" and "Worst Comes to Worst

Expansion Team is the second album from West Coast hip hop group Dilated Peoples. The release is widely considered the group's best album, led by the hit rap single "Worst Comes to Worst", sampled from William Bell's "I Forgot to Be Your Lover". Expansion Team features production from Dilated members Evidence and Babu, as well as popular underground rap producers DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Da Beatminerz, Questlove of The Roots and JuJu of The Beatnuts.

Aiyyo The Platform, watch the stormtroopers swarm The Death Star's more than the devilish dawn It's where Evil and The Force manifest their form It's no good without bad and no night without morn It's relativity, balance, stability It's creativity, talents, ability Rakka shift the modes of the wizard and the warrior Hip hop-up and move.

Dilated Peoples' debut album was hugely anticipated in the hip-hop underground, thanks to a handful of excellent singles and guest appearances that began several years prior. When it was finally released in 2000, The Platform thrilled some and mildly disappointed others. Luckily I'm in the thrilled section. Evidence approaches each verse with a gruff, laid back demeanor as if he doesn't have a care in the world while Iriscience's flow is upbeat, rhyming with a sense of urgency in his voice.
