Illa J Explores The Funked-Out "Universe" On A Cold New Cut (prod. Potatohead People)

These days, it seems that Illa J can do no wrong. After gracing several donut-filled joints from Slum Village's more than proper Yes! LP, the LA via Detroit mad-rapper/half-crooner has linked with one of the beat scene's finest for a cosmic soiree of interstellar funk on the cold new cut "Universe." The always on-point Potatohead People provide a spacey (and all-the-way funky) treatment for young Yancey to move, drizzled with bright, swirling synths, buzzing, bubblegum bass licks, tight claps and a heavy-knocking kick; all making for a delightful sonic excursion through celestially funk to a love universal. What's more, Illa's got a bevy of new tour dates on deck, so that you can feel the funk live and direct. Stream Illa J & Potatohead People's new joint down below and if it's good to your earhole, cop the single on iTunes today.
