A beautiful, but harrowing opener from Alabaster DePlume. Love for Amp Fiddler (RIP) via his collaborations with J Dilla, Trus'Me, Illa J, and Dames Brown. Soaring and stirring vocals from Cleo Sol, Holysseus Fly, and Joy Denalane. Tall Black Guy remixes Lonnie Liston Smith. And Level 42 co-founder Mike Lindup pairs up with Ursula Rucker.
Plus new bin and back catalog selections from Hi-Tek, Chuck Strangers, Koma Saxo, H31R, and Blitz The Ambassador.
