Africa Incorporated. Soul To Hip Hop To Electronic Vibes. A Full Circle Session

This set starts with feeling.

From the opening, the tone is clear. Norman Connors lays a foundation that feels rich and intentional, followed by Brenda Russell bringing that timeless soul energy. Patchwork Inc. continues that direction, keeping the warmth while pushing it forward.

Then the transition comes in naturally.

Hip hop enters without forcing its way in. DJ Jazzy Jeff connects generations with ease, while Marlon Craft and Mac Miller keep the flow moving. The Diplomats bring that raw edge that reminds you where the culture sits.

As the set opens up, the sound stretches.

Honey Dijon brings electronic textures that shift the energy, while Robert Glasper adds a live, musical depth that expands the space even further. The tempo rises, the feeling evolves, and the sound reaches outward.

Then it pulls back in.

The closing returns to hip hop, grounding the entire journey in its roots. Bush Babees bring that classic energy, while the overall set reminds you that no matter how far the sound travels, soul stays at the center.

This isn’t a mix of genres.

It’s a connected movement.

Soul at the start.
Hip hop in the middle.
Electronic expansion.
And a return to the core.
