Circle is a collaborative studio album by Boom Bip & Doseone. It was released via Mush Records on August 1, 2000. It was re-released via The Leaf Label on May 27, 2002 in Europe.
Kingsley Marshall of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Boom's otherworldly production and sense of the epic match the rapid-fire delivery of Dose blow for blow -- though occasionally the lyrics come so quickly that lines have to be spun simultaneously through different speakers." Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! called it "one of the greatest contemporary hip-hop albums". Ali Maloney of The Skinny described it as "a critical textbook for anyone with delusions of performance poetry."
The New York Times listed it as one of the "Worthwhile Albums Most People Missed".
