— Butcher Brown officially announces their forthcoming big band album Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey featuring Tennishu and R4ND4ZZO BIGB4ND.
Just this past May, Richmond-based five-piece Jazz/Hip-Hop collective, Butcher Brown, released their one-off single, “BLACK MAN” featuring fellow Richmond rapper Michael Millions. Now, they’ve returned with a new single and some exciting news — an album is on the way.
The upcoming album, titled Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey featuring Tennishu and R4ND4ZZO BIGB4ND, was originally written and produced by the band’s MC and multi-instrumentalist Tennishu as a Hip-Hop album, but has since evolved into Butcher Brown’s own eclectic ode to big band Jazz — their first foray into this format.
Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey is both trail-blazing in its approach to classic Jazz, bringing the band and the R4ND4ZZO BIGB4ND to lay down a collage of Jazz suites for a Hip-Hop album, and simultaneously mashing together elements of the Soul, Funk, and Rock influences that has formed the band’s musical identity.
Alongside the announcement, the band shares the project’s smooth lead single “Liquid Light,” which follows their one-off single “BLACK MAN” released last month. The new song is coupled with an accompanying video directed and animated by Oriane Rondeau.
Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey featuring Tennishu and R4ND4ZZO BIGB4ND is set to arrive on September 16th via Concord Jazz.
Vinyl will be available on November 11th in standard black and “Opaque Blue” as a limited pressing of 2000 for Indie Retail. The 12” Vinyl includes a 7” with two bonus tracks “Guitarmy” and “Peace.” The album’s cover art was created by famed designer Lou Beach (designer of Weather Report’s 1977 classic, Heavy Weather and Butcher Brown’s most recent album #KingButch).
