Vitamin We was a brief but dope Anticon-style hip hop duo in from a small town in Alberta that used to do hip hop shows with Punch Brothers, Conspiracy, and other early LBA members. The members were Gabbin' (who hung with us alot off and on) and Raw Bee (who I never got to meet). Gabbin' particularly had the sickest live performance, and recorded some of Conspiracy's final songs before Conspiracy's schizophrenia treatment really started to negatively affect his mind/body connections to the point where he lost his acrobatical delivery and his ability to concentrate on his lyrics, and thus could no longer ride the beat or organize his words like he used to. It's really sad, but I'm glad a member of Vitamen We (and Epic too) got to record the last few amazing verses from Conspiracy while he was still in his prime before those problems set in.

Here's a song from Conspiracy's bandcamp page he did with Vitamin We to show how smooth sounding he was before his oncoming issues and treatment would seriously affect his music. It kind of has a Deep Puddle Dynamics vibe:

Couldn't agree more on the Fresh A.I.R. album . Rove hooked me up a pre release copy and I can't get enough of it. Can't wait for the world to hear it.
