@kassaoverall blew our minds with this nugget of musical wisdom.
"The reality is all of those different genres are connected to this African rhythmic DNA situation, right? They're all coming out of the same language and the same people just in different times. So, what you're doing is you're actually — in a creative way — you're repairing generational disconnects."
You can hear that generational through-line in the jazz musician's latest record, CREAM. Today, Kassa talks to @kallao about how and why he wanted to interpret hip-hop classics through his own unique lens. 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
