We like this one a heck of a lot….“Make Space” featuring Demi Grace, the new single from New York-based MC JSWISS, released via Awthentic Records.
The single features London-born, New York-based vocalist Demi Grace and is taken from JSWISS’s upcoming album “You Never Really Know” [due 13th September].
The LP follows acclaimed collaborative projects “Bona Fide” with Michael Leonhart and “Somebody’s Gotta Do It” with Sly5thAve. Previous singles “Slow Down” and “Superman” featuring Eric Roberson” have seen strong radio support.
In the five years since the last full album from JSWISS, he has performed and recorded with many of the most notable instrumentalists at the intersection of jazz and hip hop.
Such as: drummers Nate Smith, Daru Jones and E.J. Strickland, trumpeters Keyon Harrold, Maurice Brown and Nicholas Payton, saxophonists Marcus Strickland, Jaleel Shaw and the late Casey Benjamin, guitarist Mark Whitfield, and bassist BenWilliams.
Through these performances, JSWISS has become a staple on the stage at Blue Note NYC, making more than 50 appearances. He has also performed with legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Elvis Costello.
“You Never Really Know’ sees JSWISS continuing to utilise his network of highly fêted musicians and producers, with features from Demi Grace, ArinMaya, BD3, Eric Roberson, Amma Whatt and member of the Grammy-winning The Foreign Exchange, Carmen Rodgers.
Interwoven with production from CARRTOONS, Marcus Machado, Sly5thAve, Vicky Casis, BLVK SAMuRaI and frequent collaborator and keyboardist Paul Bloom. The album took three years to complete.
- JSWISS will be performing at Brooklyn’s The Jelly on 2nd September, and hosting a listening party on 7th September at MoCADA Museum’s Ubuntu Garden.
