Skunkadelic is the stage name of Tumi Williams, a Cardiff-based hip-hop artist associated with the Starving Artists stable. Their music combines clean, deep-voiced rap delivery with vintage funk samples and scratching, and is identified with funk, soul, hip-hop and UK hip-hop.

Musically Drifting

Skunkadelic releases the album Musically Drifting, an 18-track record that runs for almost an hour. The album is noted for its smooth production and for drawing on multiple collaborations that add vocal variety, instrumental changes and occasional spoken-word interludes.

Production and collaborators

Musically Drifting is produced by a group of UK producers including Louis Vines, Blaktrix, Louis Boston and Mattamatix. The record uses vintage funk textures and scratching alongside rap performances, and it includes contributions that broaden the album’s sound across different tracks.

Notable tracks

Among the tracks highlighted on the album are Back Where We Started, which leans into retro soul, Time, which uses Middle Eastern-influenced sounds, and Rappers Paranoia, which features Mudmowth. The album also includes Who Is He Skit?, a self-deprecating spoken segment that stands out as one of the less effective moments in the sequence.
