Terrace Martin Drops “Nintindo Soul,” His Second Album Of 2024

by

Terrace Martin is best known for his work on Kendrick Lamar’s last few albums, most notably 2015’s To Pimp A Butterfly, but he is also a talented solo artist in his own right. The jazz-fusion extraordinaire returns with Nintindo Soul, his second album of 2024. The album features several singers and rappers, including Arin Ray, Cautious Clay, Buddy, and JasonMartin (formerly known as Problem) to name a few. Martin’s Dinner Party bandmate 9th Wonder makes an appearance as well on the track “Forever,” which was released as a single.

Terrace Martin’s latest effort is the follow-up to Grounded, his previous full-length release, as well as the three EPs he’s delivered in 2024. It sounds similar to the Dinner Party releases (Dinner Party is the supergroup composed of Martin, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and the aforementioned 9th Wonder). This album favors a more neo-soul sound than jazz. It also sounds like the background music at a small get-together, and much of Martin’s music as a solo artist has a similar sound. Terrace Martin’s music has a generally pleasant aesthetic, and this album is no different. It is easy to listen to. Moreover, it is even easier to like. If you’re a fan of neo-soul, jazz, R&B, or all three, you are sure to enjoy his latest release. If you do like this one, check out his other releases this year. Stream Nintindo Soul below.

After spending the better part of the last few months lighting up his previously unspoken rival Drake, it looks like Kendrick Lamar has some free time on his hands now that Drake waved the white flag. Which means fans now wonder if he’s got a new album up his sleeve. After all, what was this all for, if not promoting music that actually matters?

Well, it looks like he has indeed been in the studio working … something … according to his frequent collaborator and producer, Terrace Martin. The multi-instrumental musician told fans during an Instagram Live stream that he’s “excited” for Kendrick’s new album, whenever it’s slated for release.

“Let me tell y’all the records I’m excited for,” he said. “I’m excited for YG’s album, I’m excited for Mustard’s album. I’m excited for a lot of people, but there’s two albums, I’m going crazy, I can’t wait ’til they drop: Roddy Ricch album and whenever Kendrick drops his album. I’m excited for those two. Those two Compton artists is like, I’m excited.”

Martin’s work has figured heavily into Kendrick’s rise to prominence; as a producer or a musician, he’s had a hand in a number of Kendrick’s projects, especially the critically hailed To Pimp A Butterfly, while Kendrick has appeared on Martin’s projects Here, My Dear and 3ChordFold.

Terrace Martin And James Fauntleroy Come Together For A Laid Back Collab EP “Nova”

by

Terrace Martin and James Fauntleroy have given us angelic pieces of music for so many years. Now, they are teaming up for this new EP called “Nova.” It is a six-track 22-minute-long venture into serene beats and beautiful singing that fans are sure to eat up. The two have worked together before on numerous occasions on songs like “Drones,” “Reflection,” “Too Late,” and many more. The first two aforementioned tracks appear on Martin’s 2021 album DRONES.

“Reflection” is a track that is a heavy-hitting collaboration in particular because it shows how much chemistry the two have together. The woozy production and beautiful vocal work were a sign that both needed to make a full-length effort happen. Sure enough, we got that and it does not disappoint. Unfortunately, there are not as many songs as we would like, but the short time leaves more room for more ideas to bubble up.
