- The LA producer will release her new album through Ultra Music in April.
Tokimonsta will release her new album, Half Shadows, on April 9th.
Los Angeles-based producer Jennifer Lee started releasing abstract hip-hop beats back in 2010, putting out EPs on labels like RAMP and Brainfeeder as well as a full-length on Art Union. Since then, she's mixed an RA podcast, toured with Skrillex and signed to American dance music giant Ultra Records, the label that will release her next album.
Half Shadows was reportedly inspired by Haruki Murakami's 2002 novel Kafka On The Shore, and stays largely in the realm of the experimental hip-hop of her earlier work, albeit with a new focus on poppy hooks. It's a collaboration-heavy affair, featuring, among others, NYC duo MNDR, rapper Kool Keith and vocalists Jesse Boykins III, Andreya Triana and Gavin Turek. The video for first single "Go With It" is available below.
