A kind of underground rap supergroup comprised of Quannum labelmates
Gift of Gab (from
Blackalicious) and Lateef (from
Latyrx) along with producer
Headnodic (from
Crown City Rockers),
the Mighty Underdogs got together after Lateef invited
Gab to join him on some
Headnodic beats he was rhyming over. The three found that they worked well together and decided to call themselves
the Mighty Underdogs, self-releasing the six-song EP The Prelude in the fall of 2007 in anticipation of their debut full-length, Droppin' Science Fiction, which had an impressive selection of guests --
MF Doom,
Lyrics Born,
DJ Shadow,
Mr. Lif,
Chali 2na,
Casual -- and a 2008 street date. ~ Marisa Brown
