Modal Soul is if Dilla and Flying Lotus had a baby, and I wanna see that babys coronation. The beats are by far some of the best you'll hear when it comes to instumental hip hop, great use of samples and on the songs where there is actual rap, it's fire, such as Luv(sic.) pt. 3.

Probably the best jazz fusion album I've listened to (and casiopea exists). There's just something about it, it has a certain charm to it that I can't get enough of. Cokumo Island is 9 minutes of straight euphoria, all usage of instruments in this album is elite, the overlaying is also wonderful.

An EXTREMELY underrated EP and artist, this and Ladi Dadi II are some of the cleanest underground jazz rap projects I've heard, "Mama Jay" has been on repeat for me for a few weeks now and I cannot stop listening to this EP. The production and engineering on it is surprisingly good, their usage of panning is very soothing and I heavily recommend this album to anybody who loves jazz rap just as much as me.
