Dilated Peoples Booking Agency Profile
Mid-'90s hip-hop shows brought together Evidence and Rakaa as a pair and after agreeing to start collaborating on tracks, they became Dilated Peoples. Dilated Peoples released the tracks "Third Degree" and "Work the Angles" for ABB Records after bringing in a talented turntablist, DJ Babu of the Beat Junkies. The latter was played on hip-hop radio and in clubs, and it became an underground smash, leading Capitol to sign Dilated Peoples.
The Platform then came. The Expansion Team, the group's follow-up for Capitol, debuted to favorable reviews and a Top 40 position. The following month, the trio embarked on a tour in support of the documentary Scratch about hip-hop DJs and turntablists. Then came Neighborhood Watch. Talib Kweli and legendary reggae performer Capleton made cameo appearances on the loosely organized 20/20.
Up to the release of the album Directors of Photography on the Rhymesayers label, each of the three members worked on own projects to keep the group apart until it was time to come together again..

CTI can give you the accurate Dilated Peoples booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Dilated Peoples for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Dilated Peoples booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Dilated Peoples charge for an event. An example fee to book Dilated Peoples is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Dilated Peoples agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Dilated Peoples manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Dilated Peoples for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Dilated Peoples agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Dilated Peoples, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Dilated Peoples booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Dilated Peoples, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
