Underground veteran mc/producer/DJ Superstar Quamallah, who first burst
onto the scene in 1998 with his Don't Call Me John EP (ABB Records),
returns with a proper follow up to 2009's Invisible Man album (Brick
Records) --a record which gained accolades such as a prominent feature on
the BBC’s Gilles Peterson's Best Of 2009 show, finished as a Top 10 seller
of 2009 on UGHH.com, and was supported by two 7-inch singles and videos,
eclipsing over 150,000 views on youtube alone. For Talkin' All That Jazz,
Quamallah is accompanied by rookie of the year candidate DeQawn and
producer Izznyce. The end result of their collaboration is a truly cohesive
album full of energy, noticeable chemistry between the artists, and an intent
to create a distinguishable piece of work to be enjoyed for years to come.
Much like Invisible Man, there are no guest spots -- Quamallah and DeQawn
share mic duties on each of the album's twelve tracks. Listen to it in full, and
enjoy.
