Stream the Outstanding New 'The Midst of Things' LP from Local Funk/R&B Cornerstone MMYYKK

We are longtime fans of MMYYKK, both his solo work and also his bedrock role in Astralblak (fka Zuluzuluu), so it’s always exciting when he hits us with new music. He’s been dropping musical breadcrumbs from his new LP The Midst of Things over the last few weeks, and the whole LP went live last Friday. As usual, the LP is tight, funky, with layered synths and drum machines creating the kind of…

Wrapping Up is where we can write about a few of the songs and albums that are our “Best of 2021” year end lists that we otherwise didn’t get a chance to cover MMYYKK, the nom de plume of Minneapolis artist Mychal Fisher, is a powerhouse artist who is a bedrock of the beloved local group Astralblak.

Dig the new Greg Grease / DJ Just Nine track "Breakin' the Law" off forthcoming LP (Release party FRIDAY!)

Dig the new Greg Grease / DJ Just Nine track “Breakin’ the Law” off forthcoming LP (Release party FRIDAY!)

Greg Grease and DJ Just Nine have taken a break from their work with Zuluzuluu to create some new music together, and it is as good as you’d expect. Over a woozy but deep groove, “Breakin’ the Law” is a simmering track that touches on the political commentary Grease does so well, all over a retro, funky canvass. Like Grease’s best work, it could easily fall under the hip-hop banner, but in…
