History

The Mighty Underdogs were formed when Lateef the Truthspeaker, planning to make his own solo album, listened to some of Headnodic-produced tracks, rapped a verse for each, and sent them over to Gift of Gab.

The group released the debut EP, The Prelude, in 2007. In 2010, it was chosen by XXL as one of their 100 Essential Rap EPs.

The first studio album, Droppin' Science Fiction, was released on Definitive Jux in 2008. It featured contributions from Chali 2na, DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born, and MF Doom, as well as Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Tash, Julian Marley, and Damian Marley.
