Otis Junior & Dr. Dundiff release their Rising With It EP. The duo is comprised of Junior who is a singer-songwriter based in Louisville, Kentucky and Dundiff who is a known producer of hip-hop in the state. The EP follows their Hemispheres album from 2017 which also has similar explorations to their current sound. Junior states, "Rising With It is a concise example of why Dundiff and I first collaborated, and how we have both grown as a result of teaming up. This EP blends all the styles we’ve touched on in the past few years, and combines them with our newest developments as artists and as people."

Dr. Dundiff - The Distance (Cold Busted)
Louisville, Kentucky, a city with no shortage of musical heavyweights in its history (look it up!), is home to the prolific hip-hop/neo-soul producer Dr. Dundiff. Armed with an array of instruments (including his trusty MPC) and a bevy of talented area collaborators, Dr. Dundiff has revealed The Distance, his latest ambitious album, released on the Cold Busted label. WIth over 40 projects under his belt — including past releases on Jakarta Records, Mellow Orange Music, and Grand Garden Records — Dr. Dundiff draws upon a wealth of musical experiences, all coming together harmoniously on The Distance. The album is deliciously jazzy and deliriously loose with crisp beats, smooth vibes, and amazing vocalists and emcees, including Claire Reneé, James Lindsey, K Raydio, Pink Siifu, and Shania Robinson. “What You Want,” featuring the lovely Claire Reneé and some stunning saxophone riffs, sets the tone on a smokey soulful sheen. It’s the real deal, also evident in the abstract hip-hop of “Slip.” Here the L.A.-based Pink Siifu transmits exquisite rhymes over Dr. Dundiff’s remarkable production and a glorious, ramshackle rhythm. Another highlight is the exceptionally groovy “What I Want” (perhaps an answer to the earlier song?). The music wraps the listener in a warm territory not too far off from Blue Lines-era Massive Attack, guided by the voice of Shania Robinson. “Skat” is notable, as well, with a super-dope performance by renowned Louisville rapper James Lindsey and an emotive ‘done different’ music bed. And then there’s the title track, featuring K Raydio’s calm and reassuring vocal delivery, which soulfully drives home the theme of the album. As Dr. Dundiff says, “Everybody has someplace that they are and everybody has someplace that they want to be. And The Distance is the space between.”
Spike Deep (Rocka Fobic Music) – “Really dope. Loving this a lot, I’ll surely include this in my mix shows.” Rusty (All Good Funk Alliance / Super Hi-Fi) – “Nice grooves. ‘What I Want’ is the one I’m digging.” Mr. Bristow (Subtek / Detox) – “Nice laid back, wonky vibes.” Vangelis Vlavianos (Cannibal Radio) – “Really interesting work. Loving the vocals!” Double-D (Funky Fresh Radio Show) – “So much soul.” Jon Paul (The Blend) – “Stunning album, soulful laid back grooves, and great vocals.” Clairvo (Tilos Radio FM 90.3) – “It seems like Cold Busted can’t miss!” Mark Reynolds (Just Chillin Podcast) – “Smoother than Patrick Stewart’s head!” Aja Allsop (Ketch A Vibe Radio Show) – “This is a blast of fresh musical air. Love it!” Jon Fugler (XLNT radio show) – “Tricky to choose between these as they all offer something lovely. As ever, a sterling selection from the marvelous Cold Busted.”
Available Now From: Bandcamp, Juno Download, Spotify, And Apple Music.

Otis Jr. & Dr. Dundiff, quand la soul se fait deux noms
Le dernier album du duo Otis Jr. & Dr. Dundiff, Cool, est sorti en décembre dernier – le clip de « Waiting On You » est à découvrir ici
Cette année, Noël s’est quelque peu étalé, et on découvre encore quelques cadeaux sous un sapin qui commence sérieusement à perdre ses épines. Parmi les paquets cachés, l’album du duo Otis Jr. & Dr. Dundiff, deux amis originaires du Kentucky (où l’on retrouve bel et bien autre chose que du bluegrass, donc !) nous fait carrément basculer dans un été aussi prématuré que bienvenu : neo-soul posée qui invoque aussi bien Anderson .Paak que Childish Gambino, la musique d’Otis Jr. et Dr. Dundiff, ambivalente jusque dans sa création (le second soumet des sons au premier, qui y ajoute ses textes), est composée à 60% de prises live, à 40% de samples.
Une émulsion rafraîchissante qui place Cool, leur album paru en décembre dernier, comme une des belles découvertes de 2019 (désolé du retard). En témoigne l’extrait « Waiting On You », aussi élégant et feutré que ne le laisse penser son titre :
