RBGxDD is a collaborative masterpiece that showcases the immense talent of the artists involved. Alongside Abderraouf B Grissa and Dan Drohan, the album features contributions from guitarist Bobbie Johnston, saxophonist Jarrett Gilgore, and keyboardist Kafari, each bringing their unique skills and creative vision to the project. This collective effort results in a sonic journey that traverses an ocean of sound, submerging the listener in expressive reefs and surfacing to bask in both sunshine and thunder. The album’s soundscapes act as a vessel, carrying listeners on a musical adventure that culminates in the mesmerizing track “Yacin.”
From the opening notes, “Yacin” slowly builds, introducing listeners to a tapestry of shifting textures that fade in and out. As the track progresses, guitar and percussion establish a hypnotic groove layered over a solid drum backbeat. The arrival of the saxophone adds a jazzy improvisation, with wild playing that dances over the steady rhythm. Vocal samples and a brassy interlude further enhance the sonic tapestry, leading back into funky drum breaks and percussion that bring the track to a thrilling conclusion. The fusion of afro, psych, and funk elements creates an experimental yet undeniably catchy composition that captivates the listener from start to finish.
RBGxDD is set to be released on June 9th through Uno Loop Records, a forward-thinking indie label committed to supporting innovative and boundary-pushing artists. With a limited 250 vinyl press, the LP promises to be a sought-after gem for music enthusiasts. The album’s sonic brilliance is further elevated by the mastering expertise of Kelly Hibbert at Almachrome Mastering, known for his work with legendary artists such as J Dilla, David Axelrod, and The Heliocentrics.
