Inherit the Earth by DJ Righteous: Album Review

Check out DJ Righteous and his Hip-hop infused, 11-piece album ‘’Inherit the Earth,” that’ll last you nearly 40 minutes, giving you the perfect sonic experience to unwind or spend your time doing homework, composing or just going into the depth of your creativity.

Having just released his 15^th album (I know right!) within a span of 5 years, Virginia-based instrumentalist DJ Righteous is doing it right by keeping it consistent. If you’re already a fan, you’ll notice some remarkable changes in the way his productions sound in this album, because it expands on his success while still retaining the usual signature style. DJ Righteous is diverse, to say the least, as he goes beyond funk and hip-hop, blending several styles and black musical forms, aiming to go in a unique direction. With every following hit, he pushes past the boundary of your expectations, with his frantic tempo, constant dynamics, climactic rhythms at certain points, and a powerful effect in all the standout tracks. Noteworthy mentions are the R&B feature “Pillow Talk,” “Staircase to Nowhere with its jazzy tones, “All or Nothing” and “Cook For You” with bluesy hues.

This LP is one of a kind, meeting your underlying need to connect with an energetic and inspiring craft. So if you’re on the hunt to find independent black music on the horizon, this lives up to it!
