'SoundVision' resonates with a songcraft that might woo both mainstream and underground ears. Rhyme schemes change as often as the production, and listeners may detect various stages of Lawless Element's growth. As a bonus, Pontiac chanteuse Melanie Rutherford lends her powerful voice, as do Phat Kat, Diverse and Big Tone. Underground rising star Madlib mans the boards for a standout track entitled "High."

While Griot and Magnif both say they were elated to collaborate with Madlib, they were especially honored to work with Jay Dee (aka J. Dilla) who also lent vocals to Sound Vision: In Stereo in addition to his production work on "The Shining."

"Dilla showed love and looked out," Magnif says. "He's a real humble dude; that's not what I was expecting coming from a legendary cat like him."

Garnering extensive critical accolades in support of their three 12" releases to date, coupled with strong local Detroit press and support from the notoriously discerning OkayPlayer tastemaker community, the release of SoundVision:In Stereo heralds the beginning of what's sure to be a storied musical journey.

As Magnif himself states "Everyone should listen to us because our beats are hot, and we're different from the rest. We have a wide range of music-there is something for everyone to listen to."
