If judged by mere appearance and nationality, you will find conflicting perceptions of the hip hop group, Deep Foundation. To many hip hop laymen, they come across as another rag-tag assembly of long-winded pseudo-political emcees that border on hip hop and alt-rock. To those outside the hip hop circle, murmurs of identity crisis and terms like wanna-be surface in conversation. Those familiar with DF however, know that they are neither the former nor the latter.
