This Grammy-nominated artist teamed up with Yeti Beats to craft a 15-track masterpiece, recorded live at the iconic Royal Studios in Memphis—yeah, the same spot where Al Green laid down those timeless hits like "Let’s Stay Together" and "I’m Still in Love with You."
Yeti Beats spilled the beans, expressing that this project is a dream come to life, paying homage to the soulful sounds of Al Green. The live instrumentation was cooked up by The Indications, led by the smooth operator Durand Jones, bringing an authentic touch to each track.
