Truth Manifest US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Truth Manifest Records proudly presents Beyond Jazz Volume 2, the next instalment in this futuristic four-part series. Produced by Malik Alston and distributed by Mother Tongue, this vinyl release takes listeners on a journey to the edge of their senses. With its blend of live instrumentation and a hip-hop foundation, the album morphs into an Afro-Cuban, up-tempo dance jazz banger. Poetry interweaves throughout, reflecting urban realities while reminding us that through struggle comes victory. This record captures the essence of boom bap jazz, offering a funky jazz groove that lets your spirit shine. A must-have for any jazz lover.

Review: Truth Manifest Records release an LP by their very own head honchos here. Badriyyah Wazeerud Din and Malik Aston are the respective CEO and COO of the label, but don't let the necessary evil of corporate-speak distract you. The pair's main craft is putting a contemporary sheen on funk, combining the sound with elements of gospel, not to mention putting their back into competition-ousting vocal performances and swung harmonies. Theirs is an undeniably Detroit-endemic sound, sure to not just impress, but light soul-fires.
