5.0 classicBrabiz | May 21st 22

Sputnik is sleeping on this because it's not an emo band fronted by a pedophile.

3.5 greatChino smoking it up! | March 25th 19

Good boiler room music. Great drum&base drummer. The bassist is awesome and its not even yussef neither Kamaal.

3.7 greatErwann S. STAFF | September 12th 22

Bouncy, jazzy, funky, shit that knows how to balance bomb-ass-thicc-ness and subtlety. Yussef's drums are dynamically versatile, Kamaal's keys are absolutely pristine, and then you've got a whole band rocking the shit outta their instruments - special bravo to the bassist and the ineluctable Shabaka. Gotta say the calmer moments were a tad too calm for me - especially compared to the fury provoked by Yussef's banging drums.

4.0 excellentGene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | May 29th 21

Dayes and Williams bring the full force of pure instrumental prowess back into nu-jazz; something the genre has been lacking as of late.

0.0 TheBarber | February 8th 17

Sput's been sleeping on this, if you wake up then what awaits is a dense and groovy slab of modern jazz with cuts borrowing as much from hip-hop's sleaziness than fusion's added colors. Great cool all in all
