RJD2 is dropping a new album called #TheFunOnes on April 17th. His first release since 2016’s Dame Fortune, the veteran producer’s seventh solo album was assembled as a mixtape using samples taken from a number of conversations with his contemporaries–including Phonte, J-Zone, Kid Koala, Mr. Life, and Son Little–as it draws largely from the basic DNA of hip-hop and funk music, with heavy brass and slick chord changes. To help kick off the campaign, RJ has released the project’s first single, “Pull Up On Love” featuring STS and Khari Mateen. I caught up with him to discuss the albums process
