Globally acclaimed jazz visionary José James unveils his next single, "They Sleep, We Grind (For Badu)", a hypnotic, groove-drenched odyssey inspired by the queen of neo-soul, Erykah Badu. Anchored by a pulsing bassline and a sparse, almost haunting beat, the track is as much a meditation as it is a battle cry and nod to 70s music and kung fu influences. This isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem for the artists and dreamers grinding in the shadows, waiting for their moment to step into the light.
