Harking back to a time when Hip Hop wasn't as commercially viable as it is today, Deviants of Reality bring something new to the table by bringing back the past. Their second album, Love, Sex, and Situation is like the greatest album that Dr. Dre and Outkast never recorded.

Love, Sex, and Situation sounds like its straight out of 1992 but with the edge and thought that Outkast put into their rhymes. The deviants do a good job of mixing the two elements into something that for the most part is better than most of the junk clogging the airwaves right now. DJ Alex J and U Dig The Mental clearly have a knack for being original and Love, Sex, and Situation is a showcase for that originality.

The group has a sense of humor as well as a sense of awareness and aren't afraid to show those elements off. From the rather risque "Love Line," skits to the conscious vibes of, "Perfect World," the Deviants of Reality are just something more than another Hip Hop group. Sure most of their rhymes are about girls, but as the liner notes say Love, Sex, and Situation is an album "Of our views of women and the complexity of the relationships with them; with a touch of humor of course."

They're honest, talented, and original; truly something rare today in the Hip Hop community. Sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover but in Deviants of Reality case, that judgement would be justified. They're different and good and Love, Sex, and Situation is a great listen of laid back classic sounding Hip Hop.
