KASSA OVERALL MAKE MY WAY BACK HOME (FEAT. NICK HAKIM & THEO CROKER)
Kassa Overall’s new track, ‘Make My Way Back Home’ is one of the finest examples of the emerging hip-hop/jazz crossover scene. In teaming up with Nick Hakim and Theo Croker, he has crafted an impressive sound that shows off his own jazz background, and the talents of his co-collaborators, as they delve into Overall’s wrestle with the concept of home. This is the first track from the upcoming album, Animals, which boasts further collaborations with Danny Brown and Laura Mvula. On the album, he says: “We call ourselves humans, right? But we kind of do animalistic shit towards each other. We justify immorality by almost stripping people of their humanity. He's an animal, so we can treat him as such. All these different kinds of little questions in these songs point to questions about humanity: am I free? Or am I a circus animal?.” Animals drops on May 26th, 2023. -Dan Peeke
