The serendipitous meeting of these two innovative musicians happened in London in 2023, while Illa J took a break from his European tour dates and found solace in Ash Walker’s studio.\u003cbr\u003eIn between a busy schedule of radio interviews and brand endorsements, Ash \u0026amp; Illa found a way to write and record 4 tracks which are a breath of fresh air to any hip hop or jazz fan. The workrate and talent is apparent from track one, and this EP will definitely leave the listener\u003cbr\u003ewanting a full length project from the pair. Both artists bonded over many similarities, including food choices and musical inspiration ( they both featured Detroit legend Amp Fiddler on their latest studio albums). This provided the perfect base for them to cook up some soulful gumbo in the studio and prepare it for the world.\u003cbr\u003eWhen BBE’s founder Peter Adarkwah caught wind of the project and the possibility of releasing it he said ‘Thank You’ .\u003cbr\u003eThe EP sees Ash \u0026amp; Illa J share controls at the production helm, while John Yancey offers vocals, both singing and rapping on the project. We catch Illa in rare form, effortlessly\u003cbr\u003edrifting between the two styles with grown subject matter. This project was born out of 96 hours of organic collaboration - begun by a chance brunch supplied by the savant keyboardist Abram Al and eggslut.
