Amidst collaborations with LA’s Flying Lotus and Georgia Anne Muldrow, avant-hip-hop/soul singer Declaime (a.k.a. Dudley Perkins) found time to work on his latest full-length album, FONK. The prolific artist enlisted the help of the otherworldly funk-leaning beat maker Quazedelic to help bring his new record to life, a few tracks of which are available on Perkins’ MySpace page now. You can also check out FONK‘s first single, “Fame,” here, before the album sees release May 4 on SomeOthaShip Connect.
