Resonance Frequency dropped July 31 and "Take Time" is the latest visual off the album. Directed by Art Morera.
The description on paper sounds like an unlikely pairing. Homeboy Sandman has long occupied a lane entirely his own. Across a celebrated catalog praised by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and NPR, the Queens emcee has built a reputation as one of hip-hop's most original voices. Jack Splash, on the other hand, is a multi-Grammy winning producer whose credits run from Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar to CeeLo Green, Solange and Jazmine Sullivan. One foot in soul and R&B, one foot in hip-hop. The two worlds intersecting is the whole premise of Resonance Frequency.
What happens when an artist known for challenging listeners links with a producer known for moving them? The answer is Resonance Frequency. A bold, soulful, futuristic-yet-timeless collaboration that feels equally rooted in 1992 and 2050. Across the album, Homeboy Sandman's sharp-edged poetry collides with Jack Splash's lush, funk-driven production to create something adventurous without sacrificing feel, substance without losing rhythm.
"Take Time" sits at track 11 on a 13-track album that also features Masta Ace on "Signal" and CeeLo Green on "World on Fire." That guest list is not there for reach — it is there because both names belong in the same conversation as what Resonance Frequency is trying to do. Masta Ace as a Queens underground voice connects directly to Homeboy Sandman's lineage. CeeLo Green brings the soul dimension Jack Splash operates in.
The album is out now via Dirty Looks on vinyl through Fat Beats.
