108 was a short-lived Bay Area hip hop group consisting of rappers Encore and Grand The Visitor along with producer Sedric Edwards. They released their “Mission Infinite” album in 1996 in very low qualities and now NBN Archives has done the right thing and press it up once more. It’s an album deserving of all the attention it will get as it fuses fluid flows with woozy late-night hip-hop production and killer basslines. Made on a simple home set up but with a live bass player, it oozes that lo-fi, imperfect feel that makes it all the more lovable.
