Dam-Funk (Damon Riddick)'s forthcoming album Invite the Light is streaming now on NPR First Listen ahead of its release on Friday, September 4 on Stones Throw. Invite the Light is Riddick's first solo project since 2009, and it's a 20-song feast of collaborations, including guest spots by Q-Tip, Ariel Pink, Snoop Dog, Junie Morrison, Kid Sister, and many more. According to press materials, Riddick views Invite the Light as "a loosely autobiographical concept album inspired by the trials and tribulations of his personal and professional life of the last six years."
