RJD2, Savoy, Daedelus, Heavyweight Dub Champion, and Jogger at City Hall
RJD2 rose steadily in the hip-hop underground thanks to a turntablist sound pointed toward the mantle of DJ Shadow and collaborations with people like Blueprint, Diplo, and Aceyalone, which made his proclamation in 2006 that he was going “rap free” pretty surprising. RJD2’s 2007 album, The Third Hand, marked an abrupt swerve into the realm of organic, instrumental-based prog-pop. The change continued through 2009, as RJD2 started his own label to release his albums, beginning with a reissue and a box set. A long-awaited full-length, The Colossus, is slated for release this January.
