Husayn has brought together an impressive array of LA’s musical royalty on this 17 track set, enlisting the likes of Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Jimetta Rose, and more to provide the backbone to his recording sessions. Drawing in features from an international cast of performers and artists like Erykah Badu, Robert Glasper, Hiatus Kaiyote, Fatima and Karen Be amongst others ‘The Loop’ in a exercise in experimental, jazz influenced grooves that expand in all directions. ‘May I’ has a cosmic soul-jazz feel, Bilal guests on the string ladden ‘Between Us 2’, the angular ‘It’s Better For You’ features Anderson Paak while the playful jazz of ‘Twelve’ feat The Dove Society is also a highlight. Very multi-layered throughout with roots in jazz, hip hop and electric grooves this is one to allow to grow.
