Raw urban narratives and gritty rhymes blend with occasionally serious topics, that beg pondering. The group's foundation in graffiti culture, social defiance, and a relentless desire to impact the youth of today, serve as a foundation for underlying messages, filled with symbolism and sarcasm. Top Left's first full-length release, 'The Warning' is a 17 track LP constructed by producer J.
