There’s a sense of duality in the work of Soul Supreme: jazz-minded, hip-hop-schooled. His acclaimed 45 records with reinterpretations of classic material by A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, Madvillain, Mos Def, and Grandmaster Flash show how he carefully studies and dissects music to flip things upside down for something entirely new. Serving as tributes to both the sampled originals as well as the golden-era productions—a spirit also heard in his original compositions.
