After the breakup of his hip-hop group Jurassic 5, DJ Nu-Mark dusted himself down and set off on the long ride towards a solo album. Along the way he’d assemble a dream cast of collaborators and explore exciting new musical territories. Showcasing his masterful break-slicing, sample-flipping and slick cuts and finessing the boom-bap rap template of his former crew.
Across the tracks on Broken Sunlight he shares production credits with Quantic and A.Skillz, songwriting duties with the late Charles Bradley, and provides pitch-perfect beats for rhyme royalty like Large Professor, J-Live and Bumpy Knuckles. It was a learning curve, but treating each song like a school day let him studiously soak up everything each guest had to teach him.
