Ease into the world around you with the soothing piano stylings of South London-based producer, composer and ivory-tickler extraordinaire — Duval Timothy. If Timothy is on your radar already, there’s a solid chance that it’s for his phenomenal contributions to KCRW’s number one album of 2022, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. Get to know him for the extraordinary solo artist that he is, and continue with us as we connect so many more dots. From Ab-Soul’s latest sampling Nick Hakim to the afrobeat x hip-hop dream team of Seun Kuti and Black Thought. Plus, Cuco darkens 2023’s door with the most aptly titled new single we’ve heard in awhile, “First Of The Year.”
