Animal Arithmetic (AA) is an end-times story - a call to introspection - in the form of manga, animation, and Jazz-Hop. Animal Arithmetics creator, Queens native, Kenya “KDFoxx” Danino is an illustrator, writer, and former mentee of acclaimed storytellers Peter De Seve, Terryl Whitlatch, Thomas Astruc, and Hiroyuki Asada. When the time came to produce the soundtrack for AA, KDFoxx teamed up with veteran Maryland, MC/Producer, and 2x Hollywood Music in Media nominee, Substantial, known for his work with Nujabes, PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Arknights. The result is soulful, mostly jazz and funk-infused Hip-Hop instrumental soundscape featuring live instrumentation by Jonathan Smalls, Malcolm Jackson, Marukabis, Marcus D, and Mason Lieberman. The album also features vocal guest appearances from EyeQ, MLLN, and of course Substantial along with voice-over actors Ashley, Christen, Binks, Daniel Acosta, Farah Naz Rishi, Hunter Scott, Noell Webber, and Rachelle Etienne-Robinson.
Animal Arithmetic, Volume 1 released on February 4, 2022, on all digital streaming platforms along with a limited edition vinyl release. The instrumental version drops on March 4, 2022.
Faces of Change like all of Jav’s work is an alternative to the negativity found in Rap. Like many overlooked MCs, he offers positivity w/out profanity. His outlook on MTS's beats is refreshing. Substantial
