Hip-hop super-group, The Mighty Underdogs, comprised of members of Blackalicious, Quannum Projects, and Crown City Rockers, are proud to release their first record on Definitive Jux…. Droppin’ Science Fiction. The collaboration also features contributions from such luminaries as DJ Shadow, Mr. Lif, Damian “JR Gong” Marley, and MF Doom, among others.
