“I deeply feel this connection between the way our eye’s iris expands in the darkness and how our minds expand when we turn off the outside lights and look within. “Dilated Mind” is my concept album for this idea. The album represents this mindset of openness and continual expansion - which is a way I strive to live my life and drive my creativity. Sonically, this project exceeds any of the work I’ve done so far. It’s a heartfelt collection of hip-hop and dusty sample collages that’s been laced up with bright, kush-kissed synthesis, which will leave you with a warm feeling inside.”

Layerz (Jables x Jrizzle)

Someday Is Today is the latest installment of Derlee’s signature sample-based style. A nostalgic, yet forward-thinking celebration of familiarity amid unfamiliar times. This EP carries 6 new tracks, but much more just under the surface. The soundtrack to many days, months (years). The mundane, yet also the memorable. This time will remain unfinished, imperfect, but always complete. Someday Is Today serves as our gentle reminder.

Listen to the EP now on all music streaming platforms.

@DerleeMusic and @Daily-Bread present Divided Souls. The Divided Souls LP was crafted throughout 2016 and is the culmination of many long hours, late night discussions, and long miles traveled. 

"This project has shaped up to be one of my favorites. It begins with a happy tone but by the final track the mood has changed completely. This release has been a true collaborative effort on many fronts. I'd like to extend a big thanks to Jordan, Derlee, Al, and everyone who has made it out to a show, bought merch, or shown love over the past year. Extended thanks to Vinson Smith, TVPES, Bells & Robes, Obeah, One Global Photography, and Dan Linden Photography. The people i've met this past year and the places I've been have changed my life. Thank you." 

- Rhett // Daily Bread

"Thank you to: Philos Records--specifically Jordan for his relentless work and support, EJ, Al, Obeah, TVPES, Bells and Robes, Twin Peaks Studios, and all the 'Bread Heads' out there that've shown nothing but love and support. Excited to continue this journey with you all in bringing these soulful sounds to your ears! Last but not least, major thank you to Rhett. You've been an inspiration and a friend. Much love to everyone out there listening. Peace!"
