On the last episode of this season, Helaman listens to Good People by Majid Jordan for the first time. This Toronto R&B duo were among the first to sign to Drake’s OVO record label and have been instrumental in defining the sound of Toronto. Majid Al Maskati’s knack for finding melodies paired with Jordan Ulman’s calm, but intricate, production makes for the smooth sound they are loved for.

Funkadelic was a pioneering funk band, blending two of the most iconic sounds of the 60s: funk and psychedelic rock. Their 3rd album ‘Maggot Brain’ captures all the ideals that Funkadelic and its founder, George Clinton, tried to capture in their music: skilled musicianship, funky grooves, idealism, and pure, fun weirdness. Listen along as Parker grooves out to the music and begins making sense of the statement Funkadelic makes on this album.

In each episode of off Track podcast, one brother introduces a favorite project to the other brother, who has never heard it all the way through. We are both hip hop heads but we bring albums from all different genres, including both well known and more underground projects.
