Polyrhythm Addicts is a hip hop group composed of DJ Spinna, Mr Complex, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and Tiye Phoenix.[1] The lineup on its first album included Apani B, but she was replaced by Phoenix when the group reunited in 2007.
Polyrhythm Addicts began as a collaborative project set up by Nervous Records in 1999 that united several talented New York City rappers for one amazing single, "Not Your Ordinary." The overwhelming critical and commercial reception paved the way for a widely regarded hip-hop classic, Rhyme Related, released in 1999, that scanned over 14,000 units before the group disbanded to focus on their individual careers. Over the years, the members have carved out flourishing solo careers and reunited for a long awaited sophomore project, Breaking Glass, released in 2007.
Their debut is an Allmusic album pick, the review stating "the tracks included are saturated with quality from top to bottom."[2] Their second album was released on Babygrande Records.[3] Both of its albums feature a guest appearance from Pharoahe Monch.
