ABOUT THE RELEASE

In an age where so much music is manufactured for purpose & the industry seems like a conveyer belt of artists, each a carbon-copy of what has gone before, with generic sounds & styles formed on perceptions of popularity & commercial radio trends, it is incredibly refreshing & inspiring to discover an artist that brings something completely unique & unflinchingly distinct in his approach to his art. An artist in a true sense of the word, Kojey is a poet, spoken word artist, rapper, singer, song writer, philosopher & visual artist. Impossible to pigeonhole his works into a certain style or genre, he is just being Kojey. Dear Daisy is an incredibly eclectic piece of work which can leave you deep in thought in places & euphoric in others. Listening to the album feels like a journey through the mind of Kojey Radical as well as a journey through time with the undertones of Minnie Riperton, The Fugees &  even the 19th century philosophy of Karl Marx. Dear Daisy features multiple appearances from the incredibly talented Miraa May, whose deeply soulful vocals works in perfect contrast to Kojey’s cutting dialogue creating a rich & colourful soundscape. With production from the likes of Jay Prince, KZ, Mic Lo The Dreamer & RayDee, as well as features from Zulu & Mirra May this truly is a high quality piece of work on every level.
After discovering Kojey’s self released EP earlier this year, we reached out to see if it was possible to re-release the project through Pragmatic Theory and we were extremely humbled & excited when our offer was accepted.
