I'm grateful to you for my having it! Your excitement about it was what led me to pull the trigger and have my local bring one in. Knowing what I know now, I would have had regrets had I not picked this one up.

Miles Mosley - Uprising



The West Coast Get Down collective really blew up after To Pimp A Butterfly. Kamasi Washington was suddenly everywhere, Terrace Martin had more eyes on him than ever before, and even Thundercat's career soared to new heights. Somehow in all that, co-founder of the collective, Miles Mosley had his album go virtually unnoticed. Its kind of a shame, really. Uprising is funky and energetic, with great musicians sounding like they're having a blast playing it.

And for my scattergories answers...
