Chris Dave and the Drumhedz

"Though its many guest vocalists can be distracting, the Houston-born musician's debut album presents a strong argument for the drummer as a modern bandleader".

"Taking into account the considerable overlapping personnel and an otherwise aesthetically similar variety of involved jazz, R&B, and hip-hop figures, Dave's debut prompts easy comparisons to contributor Robert Glasper's Black Radio sessions. Nonetheless, this is less an instance of "I got next" than the culmination of a three-decade career that has intersected with the players here ... The ease with which the album can be enjoyed is all the more astonishing considering that it effectively applies and corrals input from so many of Dave's associates".

"On Chris Dave And The Drumhedz's debut album, the group is aimed to blend neo-soul and hip-hop artists with its veteran, virtuosic chops. The result is an upbeat listen, complete with r&b hooks, conscious couplets and instrumental greatness ... Dave has, overall, created an album that unites his closest friends and collaborators together with the common theme of musically challenging r&b and soul. It's not only a testament to his drumming abilities, which universally have been praised for ages, but also his ability as a songwriter".
