I Just Play a Part (feat. DJ Creole Princess, Westside Gunn & Joi)
before the world blows: the abi and alan experiment
Joi has featured vocals on “I Just Play a Part” and “Black Box (feat. Kamasi Washington)” on “before the world blows: the abi and alan experiment”
50 years after Labelle’s ‘Chameleon’ album closed one of music’s most daring transformations, Patti Labelle and Nona Hendryx revisit the album’s creation and initial reception, while heirs to their legacy Joi and Dawn Richard reflect on the groundbreaking blueprint the trio created for Black women to challenge convention.
I protect my creative fire by sequestering, when I create. I shut out any other influences of anything around me. I do not seek references. I do not seek to hear anything or anyone other than my myself, my thoughts, my visions, my words, my sounds. It is my spirit that has to come forward.
I need quiet so that I can hear what my spirit says to me. And that serves me well because originality is still the ruler.
Originality is still the ruler.
