Contents

Music videos were made for "This is LA" (video) and "Here Come the Horns" (video).

Critical reception

The Calgary Herald wrote that Delinquent Habits "combine graphic, street-wise raps with hooks galore, with horns a la Herb Alpert and lyrics borrowed from the likes of Grandmaster Flash and Paul McCartney." [4] The Independent deemed the album "spaghetti western soundtrack meets west coast hip hop." [5] The Village Voice concluded that the album "fleshes out their new, politically conscious, mariachi mobster aesthetic ... [the] single of the same name moves away from Dre-influenced funk tracks and toward Latin horns and anti-Prop 187 text." [8]
