Enchanted Spirits is the third selection from producer Damu the Fudgemunk’s KPM Crate Diggers series album, “Conversation Peace”. Featuring his long-time friend Insight Innovates on the mic, Enchanted Spirits picks up where they left off as one of the most potent teams preserving hip hop’s classic traditions of beats and rhymes. Mystical orchestral arrangements and drama filled stabs curated from KPM’s 1000 series on vinyl display the golden moments found throughout the thousands of tracks in their library. Adding punchy drums, rhythmic scratching, Damu says, “The original composition was just beautiful. It reminds me of something John Williams would score. Being in London hearing this amazing music was a magical feeling, hence the title Enchanted Spirits. We knew this was the right choice for the collab. It’s undeniable hip hop!”

Not only is the aesthetic of their musical bond rooted in excellence, but lyrically Insight made it his duty to highlight some of the brightest Black American minds of the last century and their life changing achievements. The likes of Charles Drew’s advancements in health, Christine Darden’s contributions to aeronautics and Ernest Everett Just’s early discoveries in biology are honoured specifically. Historic figures of such calibre have been an inspiration to both gentlemen. The words of Enchanted Spirits come directly from someone carrying the legacy through his own experience. Insight, the Boston based lyricist/MC not only established a career as an artist, but a computer programmer, app/software developer and engineer having a major influence on consumer technology in his own right. Paying it forward, the music video was filmed at Greater Egleston Community High School in Boston, MA where great teenage minds are nurtured day in and day out.
