“Marcus J. Moore, whose 2020 book ‘The Butterfly Effect’ expertly dissected Kendrick Lamar’s influence on American culture, goes equally deep on the eclectic hip-hop of De La Soul in ‘High and Rising: A Book About De La Soul,’ chronicling the trio’s origins and impact on the genre. Moore isn’t afraid to make it personal either: He shares how the Long Island rappers’ music provided comfort following the loss of his mother and recounts early memories of listening to songs like ‘Potholes in My Lawn’ as a kid. Unfortunately, the surviving members of De La Soul (David ‘Trugoy the Dove’ Jolicoeur died in 2023) didn’t seem to appreciate Moore’s reverence and disavowed the book as ‘unauthorized.’ Authorized or not, ‘High and Rising’ is a must-read for fans of the group and Nineties hip-hop.” Thank you, @rollingstone. With love (for the real ones), MJM 23 Dec 2024

‼️”The Butterfly Effect” is one of the Best Music Books of 2020, according to @rollingstone. WHOOP! ‼️ 07 Dec 2020

We’re back with a new “5 Minutes,” this one on jazz-funk, a subgenre with synthesizers, electric pianos, muscular bass lines and intricate drum patterns that sent jazz back to the dance floor without abandoning its appetite for risk. The results were as varied as the musicians themselves. Some leaned into nightclub ecstasy; others pursued cosmic visions, political consciousness or meditative transcendence. Yet the best jazz-funk always understood that complexity could coexist with pure pleasure. Big thanks to the contributors here: • LaFrae Sci (@fraefraedrum) • Damon Locks (@blackmonumentensemble) • Gilles Peterson (@gillespeterson) • Lovie (@lovie.world) • Sparklmami (@sparklmami) • Telemakus (@telemakus) • Karas Lamb (@blamblamkaraslamb) • Nicole Sweeney (@thevelvetvoyce) • James Mason (@james.mason.definitely) !!!!!!!!!! • David Renard • J. Michael Harrison With love, MJM 04 Nov 2026

Jazz-funk was the Blues in conversation with the future, where synthesizers, technology, deep bass, and polyrhythmic grooves transformed ancestral rhythms into new sonic possibilities. Thank you @_marcusjmoore for inviting me to choose an artist and write about them. Weldon Irvine IS a liberated brother.

Why @wearedelasoul’s music was so unique #hiphop #delasoul 30 Oct 2026

Music always reaches the right ears. If it’s created with intent and purpose, it’ll get to the people who need to hear it. Going into Sunday’s event at Cue the Record (@cuetherecord), I’d been running around nonstop. Then I played the John Coltrane / Johnny Hartman album on a loop, and it gave me everything I needed. It invited me to slow down. Peace and love to @mustafaalismith for asking me to co-host this exceptional event, and to the new and familiar faces I saw in the spot. You’re all appreciated. Truly.

Our conversation with @_marcusjmoore about early hip-hop and De La Soul is out! Listen in the profile 🔝 27 Oct 2026

In September 2025, I reached out to Julie Shapiro (@jatomic) with an idea that I couldn’t shake. If you know me, you know that I tend to say that before launching into ambitious ventures. Over the next year, alongside life and other work, I developed a plan for my own filmed and audio podcast, Active Listening, an intimate listening experience featuring musicians, writers, actors and other visionaries. Peace and love to the folks who’ve already expressed interest in being guests on the show. Visually, think ‘70s and ‘80s Sesame Street meets PBS “Soul!” Conceptually, envision a convo with your best friend in your favorite café. Join me on Nov. 20th at National Sawdust in Brooklyn for a live taping of my show. There, @joy_guidry and I are gonna play some Julius Eastman and discuss how his music shaped her life, artistry and career. Thank you Julie for executive-producing the podcast and for hearing me out in the first place, to @alexjrlewis and @rowhomeproductions for helping us create the look for this, and to @nationalsawdust for being willing partners. Tickets at the link in my bio. Much more to come. With love, MJM 26 Oct 2026

For Your Consideration: Cecil McBee’s Mutima for Best Album Notes. The bassist’s debut as a leader blends spiritual jazz, adventurous improvisation, and expressive compositions, with an ensemble featuring Dee Dee Bridgewater, Onaje Allan Gumbs, Dom Salvador, and more!
