2h 58m
For this episode, we’ve got a real special one. To celebrate the release of the full-length album Chosen Family, artist Negro Justice and studio engineer / producer / renaissance man Aaron Dethrage (of Six One Tribe) join for a track-by-track walkthrough of the entire record. We cover every single aspect of the album from the core concept, the writing and recording process and how it evolved over time as told through each individual track. It’s a massive episode of information but Chosen Family is worthy of the investment.
If you’re not yet familiar with Chosen Family, you can read about it here and listen to it on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music or everywhere you like to hear music.

Negro Justice came on the WOTT radar via randomly cruising around Bandcamp and coming across The Stimulus EP back in June of 2020. Over the following few years he released The Second Stimulus EP, Two Ronin, Father Figure, “Dutch Maker’s Thesis”, the Gee Slab collab EP Resplendent and a handful of singles along the way. An impressive body of work for such a condensed amount of time with each release showcasing a growing confidence in both vocal delivery and variety of styles. As you’d hope for anyone, the more he released the better and more interesting it got. With Chosen Family, he’s leveled up once again.
Collaborations from Just Vibez, Cal Cuttah, Gee Slab, BLVCKWIZZLE, Corduroy Clemens, FU Stan, Chan Tate, Amber Woodhouse, Rio Tokyo, HB Mandella and more push the album into an impressive new space.
