The ever prolific Carlos Nino comes at us with a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist/composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson titled "Fill The Heart Shaped Cup," a journey into hip-hop beats and instrumental soul jazz inspired music. It is full of warm, lush, and gentle tones great for the headphones and the summertime. There is an almost meditative quality about Atwood-Ferguson's string compositions. Atwood-Ferguson's strings paired with Nino's electric piano keys together create a whirling ambient sound and at times reside over electronic synth beats. Released in a very limited quantity of 200, you might have trouble finding the 12" vinyl copy of the album. Luckily, it is available for purchase and download online. I highly recommend this release, it is one of those small obscure releases that is truly a gem. If that's not enough, look out for a full length Dilla Classics album of orchestrated J Dilla music by Carlos and Miguel.
