Jazz music gets funked up on Nothing Stays the Same like it never has before. DJ Wally, in the game since the mid-90s, has a musical style that can best be described as experimental jazz succinctly paired to mellow hip-hop grooves with a warm chill-out vibe. In Nothing Stays the Same your ears will be willingly dragged through a musical journey of DJ Wallys mind and thankfully the path is clairvoyant, unobstructed and on higher level. You wont find any lyrics throughout this CD, but you wont feel the lack thereof as DJ Wallys mindset is on solid beats, sophisticated rhythms with stand alone sustainability and musicality. Be forewarned, some tracks on the release are very experimental; while you cant condemn a man for going for it, Miles himself would be like, what the hell? But having said that youve never heard anything quite like this album and appropriately so, nothing in this set stays the same so its worth a listen or two.
