MODERN MASTERS — KENNY DIXON JNR

I caught a show of his in the smoke a few years back. I remember saying as we we’re going in that I was hoping to see & hear something I’ve never checked before. In fact that didn’t happen till after the support acts came off. Then he dropped ‘Freaky Mutha’. Suddenly we had this sexy/surreal/fucked up combination of a booty shaking babe on stage with the man himself singing and posturing behind a sheet in the background, all with this killer track behind it (the first time I’d heard it, so it was super heavy).
The high expectations I had for him as a performer came from my love and appreciation of KDJ as a producer — making music that is utterly unique to him whilst sounding both strangely familiar and like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Particularly like the Prince influence that runs through ‘Freaky Mutha’ & the tune I’m gonna drop here, ‘Rectify’.
