For Sir, before the GRAMMY nominations, the world tours with
Kendrick Lamar and SZA, the RIAA Gold singles, the TV
appearances - there was Seven Sundays.
Released independently with tastemaker label Fresh Selects in
2015, the break-through album would go on to gain the attention of
TDE, who signed him shortly thereafter, and the rest is history.
With it's 10 year anniversary fast approaching - the album now stands
not only as a testament to Sir's own talents, but also a snapshot of a
burgeoning scene whose time had finally come.
The supporting cast of Seven Sundays is practically a high school
yearbook of "Most Likely To Succeed" peers from that era of the
Los Angeles indie R&B and underground beat scene: In attendance
were superlative talents Anderson.Paak (before Silk Sonic, Dr. Dre,
and the Super Bowl) and D Smoke (before winning the Netflix hit
Rhythm + Flow and signing to Snoop Dogg's Death Row Records),
and some of the best producers/musicians of the era, including:
Knxwledge (NxWorries, To Pimp A Butterfly, Action Bronson), Chris
Dave and the Drumhedz (Blue Note Records, D'Angelo & The
Vanguard, The Robert Glasper Experiment), J. LBs (Mr. Morale & The
Big Steppers, Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q), Tiffany Gouché (Jill
Scott, Masego, Lalah Hathaway), DK The Punisher (Justin Bieber,
Mac Miller, Isaiah Rashad) and more.
