Crucial Zulu Guru

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. His Crucial Vinyl this week is Zulu Guru, released by singer/songwriter Jesse Boykins III and producer/emcee MeLo-X in 2012.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, he highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This week it's Zulu Guru, the first full-length collaboration from singer/songwriter Jesse Boykins III and producer/emcee MeLo-X, released in 2012.

Don says, "Jamaican-American Jesse Boykins III teamed up with Brooklyn's MeLo-X to produce what was a whole new spin on the RnB /Hip Hop combination. We're talking solid songs beautifully delivered and infused with elements of many other genres including Afro-Beat, electro, soul and Afro-Caribbean. It was this open-minded approach to more global influences that really gave Zulu Gurui ts distinct identity.
