The recording had been first devised as a ████ ████ benefit concert in LA which was attended by Dr. ████ ████ Dre who took to the stage to express thanks for ████ ████ Sly5thAveÆs arrangements. Having spent the past ████ ████ three years performing the project with ████ ████ orchestras around the world, æWhat It IsÆ sees ████ ████ Sly5thAve retain the high-quality that fans and ████ ████ critics alike have come to expect from him ████ ████ while stepping out with something considerably ████ ████ different, delving deeper into the worlds of ████ ████ hip hop, jazz and soul. Celebrating not only ████ ████ his own versatile musicianship but that of his ████ ████ collaborators and friends, æWhat It IsÆ is a ████ ████ collection of tracks showcasing the best of the ████ ████ multi-faceted musician. A sought-after ████ ████ collaborator himself, Sly5thAve has attained ████ ████ much respect from his work with a host of ████ ████ highly feted musicians including; Prince (as a ████ ████ member of the New Power Generation Band), ████ ████ Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, The Dave Brubeck ████ ████ Quartet, Taylor Swift, Janelle Monae, Freddie ████ ████ Gibbs and Quantic. ████ ████ ████ ████ ôItÆs a little jazzy. There is some hip hop in ████ ████ there. A little bit of orchestral chamber ████ ████ vibesà ItÆs meö, Sly5thAve admits. From the ████ ████ NYC-Texas inspired sounds of ôMore Or Lessö ████ ████ featuring prolific New York rapper Marlon Craft ████ ████ to the politically charged Brazilian-Portuguese ████ ████ ôExpatriaö recorded with Grammy-nominated ████ ████ Thalma de Freitas, the album spans a myriad of ████ ████ genres and offerings from fellow talented ████ ████ musicians. ████ ████ ████ ████ "Really great always, he makes brilliant music ████ ████ and that new track 'With You' is really ████ ████ strong." û GILLES PETERSON ████ ████ ████ ████ ôGreat oneö û LEFTO ████ ████ ████ ████ ôSometimes when I am pottering about in the ████ ████ kitchen something will take my ear [on BBC ████ ████ 6Music] and IÆll go ôooh thatÆs niceö, and I ████ ████ will go out and buy it, and thatÆs exactly what ████ ████ I did with this.ö û MARTIN FREEMAN ████ ████ ████ ████ ôSly always comes correct with his own take on ████ ████ covers but also pushed new boundaries on his ████ ████ original work.
