After 21 years of\ncreating low key Detroit house music, James Dixon finally starts using his voice (literally, he doesn't sing on any\nother of his albums) to show us his vision of his city. Detroit house music sounds like French House meets Motown. This\nalbum feels like a woozy tour of the D, where most of the songs are about blowing weed, sipping Remy, and getting with\nwomen.\n\nWhat really makes this album special is Dixion's voice: All the songs are sung in almost a whisper, but with the music\naround it, it makes complete sense. The album ends with his 11 minute remix of Funkadelic's _Cosmic Slop_. More\nsuprisingly, there's a goddamn remix of a Lana Del Ray song that acutally works and fits into the album perfectly. Also,\nthroughout the album, he keeps playing little snippets of this song, _Freeki Muthafucka_, and when it comes on you'll\nunderstand exactly why he did this and that it's the only way to introduce this song.\n\nThat said, this album does have some skippable songs in the middle, but for the most part, this album is perfect for me.\nI would recommend that you give the first 6 tracks a listen, because they are def the strongest parts of the album, but\nthey'll hook you hard.\n\n4.5 bags of popcorn\n\n[1]: /img/icymi/moodymann.jpg\n[2]: https://open.spotify.com/album/61sGO58ljdDgD4Mn6Bcj3P",
