Premiere: Stream SAD's Neo-Soulmatic New Album 'SLOW' feat. Slum Village
Gotta give it to the Slum Village crew, even in their Jay Dee-less days, they've managed to curate and contribute to some of the most compelling hip-hop releases of the year. Case in point: a record from Bernese producer and instrumentalist, SAD, who's just relinquished a decade's worth of improvised jams, studio sessions and neo-soul schooling on his latest album, SLOW. Accompanied by vocalist, Djemia, as well as T3 and Young RJ of SV, SAD sculpts a snapping, clap-happy piece that will take r&b and soul heads by storm, sounding like Hiatus Kaiyote if they had met Dilla in Electric Lady during the Soulquarian takeover. It's a treat, no doubt, and we're happy to offer you the exclusive stream of the album in its entirety ahead of its official release this Friday, February 26th. Hear Slum Village, SAD and Djemia collide on some cross-continental organix below and pre-order the record on iTunes today.
