The 19-track project arrives on her Blues Babe imprint through Human Re Sources/The Orchard.

Overview

  • Released Feb. 13, the album is available on streaming services, CD, and a limited-edition gold vinyl LP.
  • Guest appearances include Tierra Whack, Too $hort, Ab-Soul, JID, Maha Adachi Earth, and Trombone Shorty across the 19-song set.
  • Production credits span Adam Blackstone, Om’Mas Keith, DJ Premier, Camper, Andre Harris, VT Tolan, and Trombone Shorty, with Scott co-producing.
