Diggs Duke Keys To The Brownswood Basement Mix x HUCK Magazine

Roy Hargrove's Jazz Funk band RH Factor gave us a track that they were going to dispose off, but we liked the vibe and sentiment so much, we decided to flush it fully out.  Renee Neufville of Zhane (Hey Mr. DJ) plus Roy and a few other beautiful guests came through to make this a bonafide good time.  The breakdown is special because of the reprise where we brought back the original drums and Roy's flugelhorn solo is an ode to Freddie Hubbard.  Funmi Ononaiye is the funky worm at the end.  Universe > Universal!!
              

RH Factor - UNIVERSE (SOULFEAST MAIN & REPRISE)

Track #4 from my protest album/EP entitled, The Mourning After, in tribute to the fallen men, women, and children of color who were murdered by a racist regime of evil police officers who never deserved to wear the badge, let alone handle a gun. It is not happenstance, not "fearing for their life", and certainly not justice when the vast majority of the murderers in blue are let off with little to no punishment at all.

I had to release my rage into the healing power of music, and it was this remake of Duke Pearson & Donald Byrd's "Cristo Redentor" that I felt was an appropriate song of mourning to express my deep sadness and anger at the systemic racism that was designed to bring about what few are calling (but is accurately) a genocide.

Anyway, I enlisted the talents of Jill Scott/Bootsy Collin tour trumpeter, Farnell Newton (@fnbeatsgalore), to cover Donald's iconic solo, but in his style and voicing, to express this sadness and melancholy through music. Yes, it comes out smooth and lounge jazzy, but it begins with a gunshot just to let you know that this is anything but relaxed and chill...more so a soulful way of saying goodbye while also preparing for the fight ahead for freedom, justice, and equality amongst ALL people...but if Black Lives Don't Matter in that equation...then ALL LIVES TRULY DON'T!

"Black Requiem (Cristo Redentor)" - feat Farnell Newton
