"I feel like I was stuck at some big stone and I couldn’t move because it was like, ‘OK, now I’ve got to really concentrate on my own thing’.”

For Indigo's opening track, "Yun," the rapper enlisted neo-soul icon, Erykah Badu. According to NME, after hearing her on Robert Glasper's "Afro Blue," she was the only person he wanted on the song. “Her voice is really magical and has its own power – it’s like a spell. It really changes me and moves me somewhere.”
