GRAMMY Award winning producer DJ Jazzy Jeff paired up with Canadian singer Ayah for a new music project - Back For More.

DJ Jazzy Jeff, along with contributions from well-known producers James Poyser of The Roots, Pete Kuzma and Demien DeSandies, have created a soul music experience. Notable tracks on the project include Make It Last and title track, Back for More.  In the popular single, Notorious, Ayah unveils her inner b-girl and lyrical flair. Back for More also features appearances from Sugar Tongue Slim (STS) and Toronto's own Tona.

The album drops today and fans are able to get free downloads of the classic soul tracks here and below.
