Dame Fortune is the sixth full-length release from veteran producer and musicalogist RJD2. Dame Fortune is full with with the sounds of Philadelphia, and it’s reputation for deeply felt soul music. The track “We Come Alive” features Son Little (aka Aaron Livingston). Working together in various entities, most recently the duo’s Icebird project, the producer and guest vocalist have a creative connection easily recognized by the strength of this standout single. As described by RJ, “Our musical tastes are very similar—he can go from Black Sabbath to Dennis Brown and not miss a beat. We work very well together.”

Dame Fortune was recorded over the past year while living in Philadelphia before RJD2 moved back to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. In addition to Son Little, the album features guest vocals by Jordan Brown, Blueprint and frequent collaborator Phonte, while also presenting the bombastic hip-hop sound that marked RJD2’s album, Deadringer, and even an orchestral composition for the societal unrest experienced in this day and age.
