The art of Sylvester Uzoma Onyejiaka II has had a special place in my heart for a while, so every new release is a small celebration. Sylvester, also known by his moniker Sly5thAve, is a talented multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and producer hailing from New York. His refined compositions are rooted in his deep understanding of soul and jazz, guided by his strong belief in hip hop.

Monday morning is marked by a wholesome and insanely groovy rendition of his track "Liberation", crafted by Jamz Supernova (radio host and founder of Future Bounce Records) and Sam Interface (co-founder of More Time Records).

A prolific tastemaker who has influenced thousands, Jamz Supernova infuses the track with her signature eclecticism and deep knowledge of global music scenes, layering it with nuanced rhythms and textures that elevate it to a cross-genre masterpiece. Meanwhile, Sam adds his famous bass-heavy sound and dancefloor energy, bringing a powerful groove and infectious vibe.

The perfect start to the week.
