Rjd2 - The Colossus

2010 release, the fourth solo album from the acclaimed Hip Hop/Electronic musician. Marking the 10th year of his career, the album showcases the myriad of styles Rjd2 has spanned as a maverick, respected producer for himself and others. Collaborating with MCs, vocalists and various instrumentalists, it displays an urgency and sophistication rarely seen. Weaving together his trademark rock solid drums, soulful vibes and horns, samples and anything else available, the album is a kaleidoscopic look both forward and back. Part Impressions, part Daft Punk, Part Thin Lizzy. Features appearances from vocalists Kena, Phonte Coleman and Aaron Livingstone as well as several underground MCs and horns, woodwinds and strings. A sound to behold.
