On "Warlord of the Weejuns," Brooklyn-born, southeast London-based rapper Goya Gumbani redefines his sound with rich full-band arrangements, blending London's new jazz generation with New York City's hip-hop heritage. Guests on the album include fellow London-based Swedish soul singer Fatima, lojii, Seafood Sam, and Yaya Bey. The album's title is an ode to Miles Davis, whom Goya admires for his passion for music and the pervasive style he brought to every aspect of his life. Goya channels that ambition on this new album, recorded with lush full-band arrangements and featuring his own voice as part of the instrumentation. With Goya and his sharp, effortlessly smooth voice leading the album, he brings together a host of musical minds to create a sprawling, radiant collection of musical vignettes that embrace the wordless expressions of jazz and the meditative rhythms of reggae. "Warlord of the Weejuns" is about self-affirmation, self-worth, and the Black heritage that manifests knowledge and power from within. Goya orchestrated his singular vision with productions from Joe Armon-Jones, Swarvy, Franky Bones, Dan Diggers, Alejandro Sanchez, Maxwell Owin, Omari Jazz, Les Lockheart, Zalente, and Ghostly labelmates Quickly, Quickly.
