West Coast real ones know: when Terrace Martin and Kenyon Dixon link up, it’s not just a collab—it’s a cultural moment. Their new joint album Come As You Are is a 13-track sonic statement rooted in soul, baptized in jazz, and wrapped in the raw honesty of L.A. street wisdom.

From the very first seconds of “Isley’s Hymn,” featuring Dixon’s daughter Isley-Rose, the message is clear: no masks, no gimmicks—just soul. Dixon sings, “Don’t hide your story, don’t hide your scars,” and that ethos bleeds through every beat and lyric of the project.

Built on a bedrock of real musicianship, Come As You Are brings in heavy hitters like Robert Glasper, Rapsody, and Ogi. The result? A lush, genre-bending soundscape that plays like a warm embrace and a spiritual exhale at once. On “Love Yourself” and “Body & Soul,” Dixon’s pen is razor sharp yet tender, while Martin’s production stays fluid—morphing from psychedelic soul to Crenshaw jazz-hop without missing a step.

“This album is what it sounds like when you stop trying to separate the layers that made you,” Dixon said. And it shows. Every track blends church roots, street narratives, and creative freedom in a way only L.A. legends could do.

Martin, known for his work with Kendrick Lamar (To Pimp A Butterfly), continues his hot streak, building on collaborations with Alex Isley and Dinner Party. Dixon, the face of independent R&B’s new wave, adds this gem to a run that’s included collabs with Vedo, Jaz Karis, and Full Crate.

Whether you’re a soul head, a jazz geek, or a hip-hop purist—Come As You Are is the blueprint for modern R&B that refuses to be boxed in. Play it loud, play it honest, and most importantly, play it as you are.
