afropsychedelia vol 2.
is it hazy in here or is it just me?
what is afropsychedelia? it’s the forward-thinking, mind-bending, likely possibly substance-induced, oft-hypnagogic, sometimes hallucinogenic sound of it all. it’s rock, funk, soul, R&B, jazz, and everything in between — it’s a perpetual groove that transcends genres and generations. this is my primary frequency of choice; if you get it, you get it.
the first volume was released last year during Black Music Month, so it’s only right to keep this party going during Black History Month.
