Whether they overtly admitted it or not, Those Chosen has always seemed to have an agenda to set themselves apart from the hype-saturated multitudes. And rather than meekly uttering proclamations of what’s “real” and what isn’t, they march it with humble poise and dead-on presentation—an impression that the three way makers transparently made with the release of Reign Food. Then, amidst a myriad of exclusive interviews and live performances on big name stations like MTV2 (and let’s not forget the video they just debuted for “Soundclash”), you had Steamulus: The Watts Riot Effect, the mix tape that extended that metaphor and had their self-proclaimed steamsters nodding their heads and fervently yearning for more. So it’s about time that Kornbread, Foreshadow and Japetto took it up a notch with the release of 5IVE, no? It’s their first project to be released on iTunes and digital retailers everywhere, and from the look of this lane they’ve been paving over the past year or so, it appears as if their time to shine has finally come.
