We haven’t checked in with Detroit collective, Will Sessions, in a few years at this point, but please believe those boys are keeping busy. The funky band have collaborated with he likes of Mayer Hawthorne, Black Milk , Danny Brown, and more over the years. They have a new album of original music on the way, but in the meantime, they continue their Mix Takes series with Take Three today. Like the previous two, they recreate classic funk and breaks, all recorded live (with some b-boy accompaniment).
