New Jersey, Brick City hip-hop legend Beneficence and UK based producer duo Jazz Spastiks
unearth a timeless treasure with the release of their collaboration album "Summer Night
Sessions". With a completely jazzy street feel and slick written, soothing, intellectual
lyrics the Ill Adrenaline co-founder releases his 8th full length album. Over 25 years of
successfully releasing independent music, Beneficence set the bar high by using lo-fi,
jazzy boom-bap sounds masterfully. Following his most successful "Stellar Mind" (2021)
release accompanied with a memoir ("Concrete Soul - The Memoir & Making of Ill Adrenaline
Records") of his life and music journey, the close Artifacts affiliate delivers a personal
collage of authentic hip-hop music with a brilliant Jazz Spastiks backdrop. Well selected
guest appearances in these "Summer Night Sessions" include Skyzoo, Saukrates, Doodlebug (of
Digable Planets), Awon, El Da Sensei (of The Artifacts), J-Live, Rakaa Iriscience (of
Dilated Peoples), Kid Abstrakt, Shabaam Sahdeeq, and grammy nominated R&B singer Anthony
David on a CD/digital only bonus track.
On the first single "Do This, Do That" feat. Awon, Beneficence flows smoothly over simple
but captivating horns reminiscing about his come up on the music scene. "At the time I was
seated behind Diddy and Biggie, '95 Source Awards keys to the city".
"Mic Epps" displays lyricism in its finest form when Beneficence playfully pans between a
reference to comedian Mike Epps and microphone episodes. "Civilize 'em with a mic check, I
get funny on 'em, Mike Epps, you coming ugly imma swipe left, what we giving you is
priceless, the nicest!".
The musical marriage between the beautiful sounds of Jazz Spastiks and the sharp pen of
Beneficence is tactfully done with rich and hypnotic bangers for hip-hop lovers with an
ear for certified dopeness
