Karriem Riggins is from Detroit, right at the intersection of hip-hop and jazz. Karriem Riggins plays the clams, the skins, the traps, the Shirley Murphys. Since little kiddom he was drumming for his jazz father. More recently heʼs worked with the likes of Madlib, co-composing most of the tracks on Yesterdays New Quintetʼs Yesterdays Universe, and J Dilla, where Karriem became the de facto producer for The Shining after Dillaʼs death. A little less than a year ago, after working on so many other peopleʼs projects, jazzcats and rappers alike, Riggins dropped his first solo production, Alone Together.
