One of us looks like this.
And the other looks like this.
Or vice versa.
A couple weeks ago, he was raving about a new album entitle Surf by Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment. The group consists of Donnie Trumpet, a.k.a. Nico Segal, trumpeter, bandleader, producer and sometimes percussionist; keyboardist and producer Peter "Peter Cottontale" Wilkins; producer and engineer Nate Fox; drummer Greg "Stix" Landfair Jr.; and, most famously, Chancellor "Chance The Rapper" Bennett. The album is totally free to download and NPR wrote a very nice article about a song off the album called "Familiar."

Another cool thing that Donnie Trumpets and The Social Experiment (other than put the entire album out for FREE) was not reveal the features on each track. Beside each track under "Artist" it just says "Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment." Now you can look up who is featured on each track, but when people downloaded the album and listened to it for the first time, they didn't know another artist was going to come into a song until they actually did. I really like this element of surprise and I think it definitely adds something to the album as a work of art.
Download the album and give it a listen--it doesn't cost you anything--and feel free to check out the music video for "Sunday Candy" below.
