Overview
Essa & J-Felix present: The Fifth Foundation
Soulful rap meets jazz and funk. UK hip-hop heavyweight Essa, praised by Nas and Mark Ronson, teams up with groove architect J-Felix, who has worked with Mahalia, Kojey Radical, Swindle and Alice Russell, to launch The Fifth Foundation, a supergroup bringing rap's golden-era spirit to the modern jazz underground.
Expect stirring horns, lush vocals, meaningful bars and soulful grooves, from a band of top-tier players. Wordplay Magazine describes the album as "both contemporary and timeless." Fresh from playing Love Supreme Festival, a sold-out Alphabet Brighton and an album launch at London's BBE Store, they bring it to Manchester.
For fans of Children of Zeus, Kofi Stone, Ezra Collective and De La Soul.
