YES!

Dusty MPC loops and liquid basslines that feel like a warm Detroit embrace. A soulful, posthumous tribute to the group's foundational sound.

It's like a warm hug from J Dilla's MPC delivered straight from the Detroit underground.

A soulful, nostalgic celebration of brotherhood and musical legacy that feels like a warm, late-night conversation.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the bassline on Love Is feels like it is physically exhaling through the speakers

That sudden shift in Windows where the vocal sample feels like it is calling from another room

The unquantized drum swing on Yes Yes that makes you feel like the beat might trip but never does
