Great Conjunction

You won’t find it in the sky, but it is definitely otherworldly – the 9th solo album from Tai Rotan entitled “UFO” will be landing soon. This eagerly awaited collection of electro-instrumental music will be released via iTunes on Thursday, October 10, 2013. Highly praised by early reviews, Tai’s futuristic sound crosses many genres while still appealing to a wide audience – from New Age to Electronic/Dance, Hip Hop and House. Producer Rico Wade (Dungeon Family / Organized Noize) summed it up succinctly, Tai has captured the “sound of the future.” UFO stands out amongst others by offering a mix of rhythms that roll from one song to the next, taking you on an epic musical journey.

Tai is no stranger to experimenting and pushing musical limits. As noted, “UFO,” is his ninth album to date and amongst his many projects that span from producing to performing. Tai has worked with artists Nas, 50Cent & Kanye West, GRAMMY winning bassist Leonard "HUB" Nelson Hubbard (the ROOTS), Lazie Bone (Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony), Stic.man (Dead Prez), MACH FIVE, Aleon Craft, 2Pac's OUTLAWZ. 

His first big break in music came with a track on “Can’t Sell Dope Forever,” an album released by Affluent Records. The song was entitled “Came Up” and featured Young Noble from the Outlawz, Stic.man from Dead Prez, and Lazie Bone from Bone Thugs N Harmony.
