Amerigo Gazaway, the man behind the A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharycde mash-up album, as well as the De La Soul and Fela Kuti one, is back combining Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and the legendary Marvin Gaye for a new series titled Soul Mates. 

Yasiin Gaye: The Departure has a very soulful vibe as the producer crafted his own arrangements using samples from Marvin Gaye’s music, building a foundation for Yasiin Bey’s rhymes and Marvin Gaye’s voice.

Now here's a funky introduction of how nice Kid Abstrakt is!

The young MC from Los Angeles, CA represents the jazzy 90s rap sound like no one else in 2023. Not only on the Westcoast but internationally. Kid Abstrakt is keeping the legacy of A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul & The Pharcyde alive and relevant by using it as a source of inspiration to tell his own story. 

Kid Abstrakt started out as part of local trio Revolutionary Rhythm before releasing his first album “Daydreaming” in 2017, produced by The Deli from Austin, Texas. With a growing fanbase overseas Kid Abstrakt started working with producers and bands like Cap Kendricks (Germany), Emapea (Poland) and Jazzbois (Hungary).

“Still Dreaming” - his new album for Melting Pot Music - is entirely produced by Leo Low Pass from Amsterdam. Leo's signature sound of jazzy boom-bap and Lofi beats provides the perfect backdrop for Abs positive and skillful rhymes. One could easily dismiss “Still Dreaming” as a throwback album with a sound that is somehow stuck in the past. Kid Abstrakt’s love for that jazzy boom-bap is all over the place. He even raps about it - with the same passion and humbleness that he raps about his life, his family and the world we are living in today. That's why we rather call “Still Dreaming” feelgood music that doesn't suck. 

Feature artists include Vsteeze, Tab One, Kamau, Awon, Rain Bisou and Hvmble.

Kid Abstrakt & Leo Low Pass - Sempre Sonhando (feat. Kamau)

I'm screaming, I'm screaming,
Engulfed by my demons,
Out of touch with my feelings,
Dreams, I no longer believe 'em,
Peeling, it's revealing,
Deceiving… but nah, you deceived him,

Lost, you can’t retrieve it,
Standing ovation from the seated,
Discussion was heated, no one undefeated,
Pain and disaster, it’s disaster season,
I need a reason, but I’m freezing,
Fire from the touch, I’m feeling the burn,
These lessons learned, but when will I learn?
Demons dance in my mind, they’re scheming,
Got me feeling like I'm lost in my dreaming,


I'm screaming, I'm screaming,
Engulfed by my demons,
Out of touch with my feelings,
Dreams, I no longer believe 'em,
Peeling, it's revealing,
Deceiving… but nah, you deceived him,


Unconscious nervous breathing,
Stood for Ollie in them meetings,
But they gave him six seasons,
I’m in the dark, where’s my reason?
Searching for freedom, but the shadows are creeping,
Surprised by the deacon, the truth ain't cheaping,



Treating this like it’s all a game,
Trickery, I’m calling names,
She stood beside a legend, ain't that insane?
Night life shines, but it’s all the same,
Curtains open, revealing the pain,


I'm screaming, I'm screaming,
Engulfed by my demons,
Out of touch with my feelings,
Dreams, I no longer believe 'em,
Peeling, it's revealing,
Deceiving… but nah, you deceived him,


Consciousness dealer, I’m feeling the pressure,
Pain receptor retriever, a life full of treacher,
Lost my grip, could’ve slipped by a meter,
Disaster striker, but I’m a believer,
She stood behind the post, a keeper in shadows,
Bipolar psychosis, battling my battles,
Demons chose neither, neither side’s winning,
I’m clawing back, but the darkness is spinning,


A leader to many, but a follower still,
Demons chasing, I’m running uphill,
Engulfed by my demons, can’t escape this feeling,
Lost in the fight, I’m screaming, I’m screaming,


I'm screaming, I'm screaming,
Engulfed by my demons,
Out of touch with my feelings,
Dreams, I no longer believe 'em,
Peeling, it's revealing,
Deceiving… but nah, you deceived him,

Lost, you can’t retrieve it,
Standing ovation from the seated,
Discussion was heated, no one undefeated,
Pain and disaster, it’s disaster season,
I need a reason, but I’m freezing,
Fire from the touch, I’m feeling the burn,
These lessons learned, but when will I learn?
Demons dance in my mind, they’re scheming,
Got me feeling like I'm lost in my dreaming,


I'm screaming, I'm screaming,
Engulfed by my demons,
Out of touch with my feelings,
Dreams, I no longer believe 'em,
Peeling, it's revealing,
Deceiving… but nah, you deceived him,


Unconscious nervous breathing,
Stood for Ollie in them meetings,
But they gave him six seasons,
I’m in the dark, where’s my reason?
Searching for freedom, but the shadows are creeping,
Surprised by the deacon, the truth ain't cheaping,



Treating this like it’s all a game,
Trickery, I’m calling names,
She stood beside a legend, ain't that insane?
Night life shines, but it’s all the same,
Curtains open, revealing the pain,


I'm screaming, I'm screaming,
Engulfed by my demons,

Peeling, it's revealing,
Deceiving… but nah, you deceived him,

Consciousness dealer, I’m feeling the pressure,
Pain receptor retriever, a life full of treacher,
Lost my grip, could’ve slipped by a meter,
Disaster striker, but I’m a believer,

Wax Poetics Presents "Tawk Takeout: Tawk Tomahawk Remixed" by Melbourne, Australia soul group Hiatus Kaiyote.


When Queen of Just About Everything, Ms. Erykah Badu, delivers knowledge, you open yourself to receive. Which is why when she devoted 140 characters or less to Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote—her exact words were "Okay. I'm done. In love,"—it confirmed our strong sense that these guys were exceptionally special.

In a country where balls-to-the-floor AC/DC rock boasts a much fuller history than soulfully futuristic stylings, this seven-piece from the east coast city of Melbourne is an anomaly. Hiatus Kaiyote’s uniqueness comes not only from their surroundings, but also their capacity for a sound rich in its understanding of soul, R&amp;B, and jazz.

Lead singer/songwriter Nai Palm was raised on the sincerity of artists like Wonder and Franklin, which she funnels into one of the most naturally arresting voices we’ve heard (check this <a href="http://youtu.be/FwLU_PXheuo" target="_blank">cover of "My Cherie Amor"</a> from her NYC debut over the weekend). Her current U.S. trip as ambassador for the band has gained Hiatus Kaiyote a luminary list of new fans and friends including the Roots, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Jean Grae, Pharoahe Monch, the Brainfeeder crew, and more.

Word of Hiatus Kaiyote has found its way to the U.K. as well. Right now the band is enjoying the attention of Gilles Peterson, who selected their self-released EP Tawk Tomahawk as his Album of the Week. The timing has worked well for us too, as Wax Poetics cordially presents the accompanying remix album, Tawk Takeout.

Twelve producers tackle Hiatus Kaiyote originals, grappling with the stems and unfolding them into various forms. Mark de Clive-Lowe contributes a wonderfully spirited version of "Malika," which sits beside interpretations by Shafiq Husayn, KCRW’s Anthony Valadez, and more.

Listen to the album in full below, and <a href="http://hiatuskaiyote.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">download it for free</a> via Hiatus Kaiyote’s Bandcamp  page.
