You know the day is gonna go well when it starts off with some brand new music from The Seshen. And with a song title taken from the historical fiction novel by Ayi Kwei Armah, the Bay Area collective share the story of self-entitled conquest.

Seasons addresses the individual who believes he has a calling to attain what is rightfully his but loses himself in the process.

The Bay Area collective is planning to release a new EP soon enough (thank you!); and here goes the 2dope to Sleep On alum‘s first single.

Ever since I shed some light on The Seshen with a 2Dope To Sleep On post, I’ve been hit up consistently with folks wanting more. Well, to those that have been looking, here you go! As part of the UnderCover’s tribute project to Joni Mitchell, the Bay Area collective covers track nine off the Canadian singer/songwriter’s 1971 release.

Ever since I was introduced to The Seshen back in January (in which I shared via this (2)Dope to Sleep On post), I’ve been steadily playing their music more often than not. And now that their self-titled album is now available, the Bay Area based collective have released some new visuals.

You might remember me introducing The Seshen back in January for one of our most-recent (2)Dope To Sleep On posts. Left with only three songs to jam with over the past two months has had me wanting more. Thankfully the seven-piece Bay Area band comes through with their debut full-length! And after one solid listen they didn’t disappoint in any sense of the word. Check it out for yourself after the jump and cop it here.

I believe I’ve said this before but whatever… whenever my man Tunji suggests I listen to something new I dive right in with open ears. What can I say? On top of his ability to rhyme, the man just has a great ear for music. Case in point… The Seshen. A seven-piece band (led by vocals from Lalin St. Juste and Akasha Orr) straight out of the Bay Area. Citing Animal Collective, Erykah Badu, Little Dragon and J Dilla as some of their major influences, you get a taste of just about everything within their music. And while they’ve only released three songs (to my knowledge)… their debut album (which is set for a February release) is sitting mighty high on my anticipation list. Do yourself a favor and take a listen below.
