Madlib and Karriem Riggins unveil debut album as Jahari Massamba Unit

Out now via the sequestered beatsmith’s Madlib Invazion.

Madlib and Karriem Riggins have released their debut album as Jahari Massamba Unit.

Rekindling their former and seldom seen collaborative project, the lauded drummer and sequestered beatsmith’s first full-length outing arrives on vinyl in limited numbers for Record Store Day.

A revolving door that deftly sifts through trumpet, saxophone, upright bass, flute, xylophone, synthesizers and more for a heady cocktail of astral jazz, cosmic funk and global rhythms, stream the free-flowing, eclectic and unshakeably cool Pardon My French in full below.
