Cavalier - Different Type Time (Vinyl)

Product Information Different Type Time's vibrations are somewhere all their own. It sounds like jazz, like a conversation overheard in a roti shop, pool hall, or the foyer of your old building on a fall day, the front door propped open with a brick. The blues are in there, too, and so is the South—the American South, the Global South, and South Brooklyn. It's not that it sounds like the past, but you can hear everything that came before in the thick of the basslines and the yearning of the keys. Different Type Time also doesn't sound like now; it sounds like RIGHT NOW; the bounce of the lyrics, like the staccato of basketball in the park, carried on a spring breeze. Although he doesn't rap on DTT, Quelle Chris plays a pivotal role, producing eight songs and serving as associate producer/consigliere to Cav throughout the creative process.  "There is no time wasted explaining things when I collaborate with Quelle. He understands the universe I am in and the realities I want to create. He's in them. And I don't think I can envision one without him," Cavalier explains. Messiah Muzik, Wino Willy, Ohbliv, Ahwlee, Child Actor, Fushou, and several other producers round out the credits, all lending their talents to the album's spaciously soulful sound. At the center of all these alchemies is Cavalier, nimbly dancing in and out of pockets like a sidewalk game of jump rope. Different Type Time is a masterclass in this thing we call hip-hop: daring and original, yet always standing deeply rooted in the culture. 2xLP milky translucent vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket with 35mm gold photography.
