Lately, jazz and hip-hop fusion has been championed by Kamasi Washington, but the hybrid genre can be traced back to Digable Planets, Miles Davis’ 1992 album Doo-Bop and Ken Nordine’s 1950s experiments with word jazz.

Overall is among a handful of artists who can credibly be called the future of jazz.
