3rd Dimension steps it up on their latest project (September 28, 2016). The team brings new flows, complex wordplay and big beats on the LIMITS LP. It’s music for cooling or getting dumb. 3rd is multi-dimensional. We value hard work and education in The Midwest. 3rd gives us a strong look at some of the...
3rd Dimension speaks out against the “Superficial” (July 13, 2016). For those that don’t know, superficial is everything disingenuous. Whether it’s lying, betraying, passive aggression or materialism, this 5-man team says they’re anti. The hook goes crazy on this. It just keeps moving.

The emcee in the artist comes out with that one-two on “Never”, reminding us that he can flow about women or other...
