BBE Music is excited to present the long awaited, eponymous debut album from the USA/UK partnership of JTronius and Maverick Quest, aka Sons of the Sun.

Delivered remotely following a chance meeting on music-tech networking app ‘Brapp’, the ingenious pair sent files back and forth between Texas and South East London to manifest their shared vision for ‘Sons of the Sun’. Remarkably, the duo are still yet to meet in person.

A respected solo artist knighted by Bootsy Collins as an official ‘funkateer,’ Berklee College graduate JTronius is an extravagant entertainer, entrepreneur and lifestyle brand. Self- dubbed The Guvna of the Galaxy, he brings his swaggy, soulful style to all his endeavours. He has shared stages with LL Cool J, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Pharrell, Busta Rhymes and Damian Marley and is an accomplished actor, appearing in a number of successful Hollywood feature films.
Genre-blending record producer and multi-instrumentalist Maverick Quest grew up immersed in the aesthetic of hip hop. But in an environment where flipping loops from vinyl was standard, developing his musicianship to create his own sounds was radical, a move that paved the way for his signature sonic. He has previously performed with and produced for Guru, Grandmaster Flash, Ice T, Ibibio Sound Machine, Solo Rosa and Portico Quartet to name but a few, and is firmly rooted in the epicentre of the burgeoning South East London jazz movement.

Sons of the Sun’s debut long player features a host of luminary guests and musicians from all over the globe, including guitarist Dai Miyazaki (Bilal, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Tye Tribbett), keyboard player and vocalist Matt Cusson (Christina Aguilera, Brian McKnight), singer Ayesha Brooks (The Voice, Season 6), saxophonist & flautist Jelani M. Brooks (Ghost Note, RC & The Gritz, Erykah Badu), Boston rapper Madame Cruz and Scottish horn collective The Brasscats, among many others.

Mixed by Grammy-nominated Clinton “Ubiquity” McCreery and mastered at Grammy- awarded studio The Carvery, this album inks an impressive first chapter in the story of Sons of the Sun.

Lyrics:

I hate to 
Rain on your parade
Fuck up your day
But you and I we both know that there was no other way
Tried to make me change
Made me feel insane
Its time I take what we built up and burn it down in flames
Watch it burn
Watch it burn
Watch it burn 
x7

Light it up
Light it up 
Light it up 
x2

Okay 1 2 3 to the 4 
Fed up with the drama you can leave it at the door
Thinking bout my life and shit that I’ve been through before
Took some on the chin and I can take a couple more

But I don’t even wanna fight though
Back up on my bullshit I feel like Jhené Aiko
Walking on a tight rope
Got to break the cycle
Cuz any more of this shit finna make me go psycho

Feelin like I’m bout to pop
Cuz you went from a lover to a opp
Would of swore you was an undercover cop
The way you act slick but we all know
Have you seen what the weather is tomorrow?

Im bout to 
Rain on your parade
Fuck up your day
But you and I we both know that there was no other way
Tried to make me change
Made me feel insane
Its time I take what we built up and burn it down in flames
Watch it burn
Watch it burn
Watch it burn 
x7

Light it up
Light it up 
Light it up 
x2

After a series of singles and his 2020 album ‘Sickla’, Opolopo returns to Local Talk with a rework collection where he was given free reign, to 'tweak' his personal faves from the Local Talk vaults. Over these 10 tracks, Opolopo tweaks cuts from Jamie 3:26 & Masalo, the late great Soulphiction, Kiko Navarro, DirtyTwo and Soul Renegades. As always, the soul is ever-present. Musically you'll find it all, from deep house, to disco, to jazzy beats and electronica. Opolopo lays down his trademark sound and infectious grooves, with additional production tweaks and arrangements to deliver this monster package.

Actual Proof - Hubble (OPOLOPO 2021 Mix) is taken from the album OPOLOPO Tweaks - out now on Local Talk.
