One of the things I admire about Machinedrum is his knack for pushing featured artists beyond their comfort zones, drawing out remarkable performances and that’s precisely what we're welcome to on 3FOR82.
This release marks Machinedrum's 15th album, a testament to his continuous pursuit of evolution and creative drive. One of the standout moments on 3FOR82 is the Jesse Boykins III and Mick Jenkins led "WEARY" - a somewhat experimental track where Machinedrum intersects hip hop, electronica, and funk with his forward-thinking production. Mick’s verses combine compassionate lyrics with a bold delivery, and this is enhanced by Jesse’s calming and smooth vocal presence, which adds a soulful depth to the track.
