Mark Lomax believes music is the healing power of the universe and demonstrates it beautifully by describing human emotion through his soulful approach to songwriting on "Love Is...". Based upon various styles of Jazz and Soul which are driven by uplifting emotion, Mark explores the ability to convey love through music in a 10 track project which sets the perfect mood for quality time.
“The drummer's music is as sharp as his perceptions are, and it swings magnificently.” - Raul D’Gama Rose, All About Jazz
“Lomax is the rare drummer who leaves you wanting more, leading his bandmates through a strikingly terse, brilliantly counterintuitive and ultimately joyous series of explorations.”-

One of Jay-Z's contributions to Hip Hop which goes overlooked in comparison to his many others is his use of 80's R&B grooves. From Meli'sa Morgan to Alexander O'Neal and Rene & Angela, Jay flows over some of the funkiest of songs known to the genre while adding classics as the flavor to numerous song choruses. This remix of "Can't Knock The Hustle" by chuckmacksts touches upon Hov's signature sound of 80's R&B/Hip Hop fusion and matches perfectly for a dope sound.
