One To Watch: King Britt

By: ND McCray, Music Editor

Every Thursday, She's So New York unleashes it's "One to Watch" series, where we debut the latest and greatest music from the ladies and gentlemen of the Big Apple and beyond!

Though I have a great affinity for 70s/80s R&B, funk and soul, house music is the bastard stepchild I’ve grown to love. Having said all of that Intricate Beauty is the latest from King Britt, a Philly-based DJ/producer (and former DJ for 90s hip hop pioneers Digable Planets) who’s become known for his downtempo-hiphop-infused-jazz-influenced grooves. And on Intricate Beauty he showcases some sweet gems as well.



Britt received a Pew Fellowship in the Arts award in 2007. Pew Fellowships in the Arts awards grants of $60,000 to Philadelphia-area artists working in a wide variety of performing, visual, and literary disciplines.

Recommended tracks: “Blackhand Side” and “Nightlife”.

Other releases you might like: Blue Six, Noesis and Yameen, Never Knows More.
