Four-time DownBeat Rising Jazz Violinist Ma*JiD fuses his brand of rhythmically pulsating fusion trap-jazz with the elegance of the classical string concertino in The Rite of Strings, an inspired program of riotously freewheeling sensibility.

Dyme-A-Duzin, has endeared himself to his hometown of Brooklyn, New York, plus fellow musicians the world over. The former Phony Ppl member has grown into a talented rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer with performing credits alongside Erykah Badu, The Roots, and Talib Kweli.
