About Jahari Massamba Unit

Jahari Massamba Unit is an occasional, loose-knit hip-hop and future jazz studio recording project comprised of producer/multi-instrumentalist Madlib and drummer/producer Karriem Riggins. The pair have also worked together under the moniker Supreme Team, with Riggins doubling as vocalist. The two artists were introduced in the mid-2000s while working with Detroit producer/rapper J Dilla as Supreme Team. Jahari Massamba Unit debuted on the track "Umoja" from Madlib's 2007 long-player Yesterdays Universe. In 2020, the duo reunited as Jahari Massamba Unit and issued the full-length Pardon My French on the Madlib Invazion imprint. They re-teamed again for their sophomore long-player, Yhwh Is Love, issued by Riggins' Detroit-based Law of Rhythm label in March 2024.
