To Whom It May Concern…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To Whom It May Concern..., released 1991, is an alternative hip hop album by the Freestyle Fellowship, an improv collective out of the Los Angeles Project Blowed crew. The album is considered an all-time underground classic, and despite its murky, low-budget production quality, it is held to be a watershed recording for intelligent hip-hop. Songs such as Legal Alien and Here I Am feature the group's traditionally afrocentric lyrics, as well as the unique, rapid-fire lyrical flow that became a distinguishing characteristic of the Fellowship.

Other songs, such as Convolutions, place the Freestyle Fellowship within the realm of jazz rap, as they freestyle over So What, a Miles Davis recording, to emphasize the similarities between the respective genres of jazz and hip hop music.
