WK: When Jazz and Rap Unite #317

Twelve tracks of March 2017 Weekend Kickoff jazz-and-rap programming — the early-spring edition leaning hard into the boom-bap-and-jazz-sample-revival peaks of the year. Denitia and Sene anchor the alt-R&B-and-jazz bridge that defined the rotation’s late-’10s leftward turn; Domo Genesis brings the LA-underground-rap-and-soul-rap collaboration core that drove the year’s indie-rap rotation; Dag Savage carry the underground-soul-rap legacy bridge that grounded the run in the genre’s lineage; RAIZA BIZA closes the New Zealand-and-diaspora rap run that opened the rotation to broader source material. Short, deliberate, and committed to a specific rotation moment — the working-rotation tape for the genre’s reunion week.
