Headnodic's range as a musician paired with the drum and rhythmic influences he gathers from Hip Hop makes his instrumental "Mr. Incomplete" an exciting listen. The cinematic feel of this track is fit for the background music of a movie or video game. His album Red Line Radio is out now featuring Sadat X, One Be Lo, Mr. Lif, People Under The Stairs and others. Here is a review from Access Hip Hop:
"Producer and bassist Headnodic explores the furthest reaches of rhythm and melody, from golden era rap to 70's fusion jazz. Whether he's sampling, chopping, and re-constructing breaks, or fluently performing on any number of vintage instruments, the aesthetic of a well seasoned crate-digger is apparent. Trained as a bass player at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, it was there that he met the members of what would later become the hip-hop band, Crown City Rockers, (originally called Mission). He has now furnished the low end for Crown City Rockers for over a decade. Then, in 2008, Headnodic joined forces with Gift of Gab (Blackalicious) and Lateef the Truth Speaker (Latyrx) to form the indy-hop super group, The Mighty Underdogs. Headnod now offers his most impressive undertaking to date: Red Line Radio. Calling upon old friends and new collabs alike he has scripted an album like no other. Rock, jazz, spoken word, DJing, all kept at a safe combination behind the all overseeing eyes and ears of Headnodic."
