Shafiq Husayn is one third of the SA-RA collective and writer and producer of acts such as Erykah Badu, Ice-T, Platinum Pied Pipers and Jurrasic 5 and comes with his first solo album here.

Inspired by Abbey Road and Electric Ladyland studios and composed with an armoury of outboard gear, effects, synthesizers, electric guitars, strings, horns, a lot of modulation and a lot of weird stuff.

On the album Shafiq recruits Bilal, Sa-Ra member Om’mas Keith, emcee Count Bass D, the classically trained multi-instrumentalist Miguel Atwood-
Ferguson, London’s lil star Fatima, Sly Stone soundalike Sonny Coates, Sa-Ra vocalist Rozzi Daime, and a whole army of musicians and engineers. Check!
