RJD2
Album: ’The Colossus
Release Date: 1/19/2010

review:
This winter, RJD2 returns with the highly anticipated 4th solo LP "The Colossus". Marking the 10th year of his career, the album showcases the myriad of styles RJD2 has spanned as a maverick, respected producer for himself and others. Collaborating with emcees, vocalists, and various instrumentalists, it displays an urgency and sophistication rarely seen. Weaving together his trademark rock solid drums, soulful vibes and horns, samples, and anything else available, the album is a kaleidoscopic look both forward and back. Part Impressions, part Daft Punk, part Thin Lizzy. He is helped along by vocalists Kenna (Star Trak), Phonte Coleman (Little Brother), Aaron Livingston, (The Roots’ ’Guns Are Drawn’), as well as several underground emcees and horns, woodwind, and strings. A sound to behold.
