This track is Wakanda meets Fela Kuti with a south London accent, blending afrobeat rhythms with futuristic, video game-inspired sounds to celebrate the power of community and kinship. This track is the first track off my upcoming concept album due in May 2025.

The track features Jay Phelps and Nathaniel Cross. Produced by DJ Harrsn (whose remix of "God Is Trying" was Annie Mac’s Hottest Record), it builds to lush strings and a heartfelt voice note from gospel choir director Daniel Thomas. Reflecting on finding your tribe,

“It’s about connecting with those who truly see you and push you to grow.”

Find Your Tribe

Find Your Tribe (feat. Jay Phelps & Nathaniel Cross)

A wide ranging sort of show, starting with a grip of the hard and heavy then hitting running some classics. More than a few August Darnell cuts filling out the middle: Dr. Buzzards, Kid Creole, Gichy Dan, Cory Daye, Elbow Bones and beyond! The last bit is mostly vibes to help us kick of the new year proper. Keep on jumpin.
