"We first met DC-based musician Diggs Duke back in June, just a few weeks before the release of his latest EP, The Upper Hand and Other Grand Illusions. During our interview, we discovered that Diggs has a bit of a family connection with the (equally-talented) NYC-based musician James Tillman, who grew up in the DC area. With the connection in mind, we asked James to get in touch with us the next time he was in town and voila - this very special live in-studio performance was born." - Funkadelic Freestyles

NOTE: James was slightly under the weather during this performance, but he still killed it!
