Lateef the Truthspeaker, along with DJ Shadow, Blackalicious and Lyric's Born is one of the founders of the Solesides / Quannum collective. In 2006, he stepped out on his own with a definitive collection of new songs complementing his substantial catalogue. Live performances will feature songs form his new album "Crowd Rocker", music from the mix tape "Ahead of the Curve" constructed by DJ Z-Trip, and tracks from his Solesides / Quannum recording's including his work with Lyrics Born from the classic "Latyrx" LP, and the Grammy nominated track "Wonderful Night" with Fat Boy Slim from their collaborations on the LP “Palookaville".

You will also be treated to rare performances from his collaboration with Chief Xcel (of Blackalicious) on the definitive underground EP "Ambush." Lateef's new work showcases his growth as an MC, singer, songwriter, and for the first time ever- producer! Lateef is previewing this new material in a dazzling live show that combines the traditional MC/DJ format (Lateef & DJ E Da Boss) with live Instrumentation. Add to this the dynamic visual technology of the DVJ, and you can expect a sensory treat for the ears and eyes that is truly beautiful and offers a glimpse into the possibilities of music's future. June 2006, Lateef was featured on the new single from Fatboy Slim, “Old Pair Of Jeans”, and alongside Q-Tip on “enuff”, a track off DJ Shadows latest CD. Lateef completed a world tour with his close friend and collaborator DJ Shadow throughout 2006.
