Listen to DJ Afterthought's 'Cool Blue Jewels' Album

"Luck and the culmination of years and years of networking." That's how DJ Afterthought describes the process of putting together his first hip-hop album, Cool Blue Jewels, which drops today (Feb. 9). "I took a track by track approach and just tried to keep setting the bar higher and higher. Can't describe the feeling of having so many extremely talented people that wanted to be a part of this project."

For his new album, the EDM DJ/producer pulled out all the stops, getting guest appearances from Wiz Khalifa, Mozzy, Riff Raff, Dice Soho, Jimmy Wopo, Project Pat, Blackbear, Young Buck and more. Thought and Riff Raff previously hooked up to put out the joint project, Balloween in 2016.

The majority of CBJ is produced by frequent collaborator, JRab, with CL McCoy, E Dan and Corp also adding to the lit soundscape.
