Rainbow Blonde Records releases the 10th Anniversary Edition of José James' critically acclaimed second album Blackmagic. Featuring lo-fi hip-hop production from legendary producers Flying Lotus, Moodymann and Taylor McFerrin, Blackmagic saw James embracing his role as the Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation.

Highlights include the Soulquarian meets Curtis Mayfield vibe of Code, the Moodymann-produced Marvin Gaye tribute Detroit Loveletter and the spaced-out jazz meets hip-hop of Blackmagic. James throws down the gauntlet and takes a soulful journey into the history of black music, skillfully connecting the dots between soul, R&amp;B hip-hop and Londons brokenbeat and dubstep movements.
