Grammy-nominated drummer, producer, emcee, and vocalist KASSA OVERALL is redefining the boundaries between jazz and hip-hop.
 
On CREAM, his fourth solo studio album, Kassa pays homage to the twin passions of his youth—hip-hop and jazz drumming. With this collection of instrumentals, the visionary drummer and producer transforms classic rap songs into timeless standards, mining the continuum between jazz and hip-hop from every angle without any shortcuts and offering a fresh take on the “Great American Songbook”—honoring the rich legacy of Black American music.

CREAM highlights Kassa’s artistry through masterful arrangements, thoughtful song selection, and a sound that traces the arc of his evolution. Backed by a stellar band with generational jazz legacy, the project embodies his genre-fluid approach and his commitment to pushing jazz forward.
