The Taste Of Rain...Why Kneel is the debut album by Deep Puddle Dynamics, a collaboration between underground hip hop artists Sole, Doseone, Alias and Slug. It was released on Anticon in 1999.
The album was reissued in 2002 with a bonus track "Rainmen (Controller 7 remix)".
Tracks 1 through 8 are the product of one week of recording sessions in June 1998. Tracks 9 through 12 were recorded exactly one year later. The album title comes from a "western haiku" by Jack Kerouac.
It is part of Cokemachineglow's Top 60 Albums of the 2000s, appearing in the "Honorable Mentions" section.
