Smoke DZA makes his way back after the release of his He Has Risen album, which dropped just last month. This time around, it’s West Coast love with some flavor as the perennial wordsmith taps Flying Lotus to lace some magic on the boards. In a three-part offering, the duo welcome us into a vortex of a pleasing sonic affair.
Taking a visit inside DZA’s mind, we make our way through the knots felt through his exuberant deliverance and lyrical jabs in “Outside My Mind.” With a stamp of approval, the East Coast incumbent shows out his support for Bernie Sanders in the dream-esque “4-19-2026,” while speaking on the greenery. Lastly, DZA rides out to a lustrous-felt soundscape in “Petty Murphy,” where he deciphers his purpose. Press play above.
