A high-gloss 2000s reimagining of Sly Stone’s catalog, blending hip-hop production and neo-soul grooves with the explosive energy of the original psychedelic funk.

This album is a bridge between the analog grit of the late 1960s and the digital sheen of the mid-2000s.
This album is a bridge between the analog grit of the late 1960s and the digital sheen of the mid-2000s. It takes the communal, everyday people ethos of Sly & the Family Stone and filters it through the lens of hip-hop, neo-soul, and pop-rock. The result is a high-energy celebration that feels like a massive block party where every guest is a superstar. The production is dense and layered, often using the original master tapes as a foundation for new drum programming, scratching, and guest vocals that range from the raspy rock of Steven Tyler to the smooth crooning of John Legend.
The production is pushed notably harder into studio polished than this artist usually allows.
