B. Bravo (aka Adam Mori) returns to Bastard Jazz with the long-awaited follow-up to his 2017 debut LP, “Paradise,” with a fresh full-length offering: “Vizionz.” Replete with his signature future funk vibes, infectiously soulful grooves, and talkbox excursions, “Vizionz” sees the multifaceted artist take the classic West Coast into outer space. If B. Bravo’s last album sought to get lost in paradise - enjoying the moment here and now - “Vizionz” looks forward, feet placed firmly in an established LA vibe, while the matured eyes of a veteran producer gaze keenly to the future. 

“Vizionz” arrives following a slew of diverse singles, which highlight B. Bravo’s stunning versatility as a songwriter, producer, and collaborator. Last year’s “Lifted (What U Waiting 4)” came first, at the end of May, 2020, pairing g-funk talk-box verses and synth lines with rich vocal harmonies and a dance-floor-ready beat. Frequent collaborator Reva DeVito (Miami Horror, Kaytranada) makes a standout vocal appearance on “Fly Bye,” the second single. Here, Adam surrounds Reva’s vocals with ambient pads, a Dilla-inspired beat, and an irresistible bassline, while Reva’s dreamily sings about getting away from it all. The final single, “Believe,” sees Chuck Inglish (of the famed duo The Cool Kids) rhyme in his distinctive baritone over a bass-heavy instrumental meant to rattle some car stereos. 

The singles offer a view into the rest of the album: Solo B. Bravo joints include “Moon Bounce,” a talk-box boogie jam begging for late-night drives with the top down; the largely-instrumental synth improvisation, “Midnight Rider;” the upbeat “Penelope,” which showcases Adam’s vocal and harmonic prowess; a bumping g-funk interlude, with “Flip Out;” as well as the laid back album opener, “Da Essence.” 

Further vocal assists come by way of Sally Green on the flirty “10/10,” and Rojai on the slow jam ““No Regrets” . Both singers have worked on B. Bravo projects in the past, with Rojai additionally joining forces with Adam to form the duo Kool Customer, whose self-titled debut album was released on Bastard Jazz in 2018. Two more hip-hop-leaning tracks are aided by Def Sound (“Back Times Two”) and Nico Fasho (“Ms. Stardust”); leaning heavy into outerspace G-Funk Hip-Hop vibes. 

Taken as a whole, “Vizionz” is a much needed boost of serotonin: Uncompromisingly positive, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes aspirational, but always funky. The range of styles is a testament to Adam’s indelible production chops, songwriting skill, and ability to collaborate. While it has been a long 5 years since “Paradise,” “Vizionz” proves more than worth the wait.

GTA FUNK' is both a reaction to and a reflection of the 'Toronto' sound, conceived during KEI-LI’s move from the suburbs of Mississauga to the city of Toronto.

The vast multiculturalism of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has given birth to a sonic diversity that goes far beyond the signature OVO sound associated with the city. With the world finally tuning in, this EP also enlists the help of fellow artists like @robotaki, @falcxne, @clairmontthesecond, @soundslikeandes and NAHTE, which allows him to showcase a funkier side to the city that the world hasn’t been acquainted with yet.

KEI-LI started producing at the age of 13, informed by his interest in beatboxing and funkstyles popping. After stumbling upon neo-soul, he immediately discovered his musical direction, with Musiq and D'Angelo as his inspirations. While these musical foundations shine brightly throughout GTA Funk, KEI-LI has managed to forge a sonic aesthetic that is entirely his own.

There is an evident struggle with finding an authentic place as an Asian artist within the continuum of funk, soul, and hip hop musical traditions. Hence, the visual branding behind GTA Funk is inspired by the intersection of these two cultures: Kung Fu and hip hop.
