Deep West Coast Jazz-Rap instant c-l-a-s-s-i-c alert!

Perfect to chill to, Headnodic + Jazz Mafia’s astounding self-titled record blends hip-hop and jazz effortlessly, bringing the two genres together with their intrinsic beauty intact. Here we get hip-hop beats made from the box (SP-12 / Maschine / Laptop / MPC etc.) that still feel like that good ol’ loop-based Boom-Bap knock, mixed with an equal dose of timeless organic musicianship, shining with spontaneity, humanity and soul.

This vital project came about when we opened an email from Thes One (of the mighty People Under The Stairs): “I want to introduce you to my good friend and collaborator Headnodic”. Boy, are we glad he did.

Jazzy hip-hop on that breezy mellow-melodic tip, Headnodic + Jazz Mafia is an unforgettable album with nothing but dope beats and dope bars. It’s exceedingly limited, with just 500 pressed for the world.
