With this reissue, Verve By Request celebrates the 20th anniversary of this landmark, genre-busting album, conceived, led, and produced by trumpeter Roy Hargrove, who considered it a tribute to his childhood love of hip hop. Featuring a 10-piece band, special guests include DAngelo, Q-Tip, Erykah Badu and Anthony Hamilton. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
