Emerald Tablet is the new album from Vancouver production duo Potatohead People and emcee/singer Slippery Elm. As the title suggests, this tablet is full of gems, taking the listener on a starry journey to a unique world of hip-hop, jazz fusion, and neo-soul. Accessible yet innovative, melodically lush yet never formulaic, Slippery Elm’s groove-centric vocals and evocative story telling over PHP’s signature blend of horns, rhodes, off-kilter drums, and slamming bass lines, is a pairing like fine red wine and rich dark chocolate. From lead single “Nightbird”, with its hypnotic soulful vocals over a smoke-filled jazzy groove, to “Up Close” which features a masterful verse from Bahamadia over an instrumental that sounds like late-night quiet storm but in a hip-hop vernacular, Emerald Tablet is sonic soul food for the body, mind and spirit. credits releases July 11, 2025 Vocals, Lyrics – Slippery Elm Drums, Keyboards, Guitar, Bass, Synthesizer – AstroLogical Drums, Glockenspiel, Synthesizer – Nick Wisdom Violin – CRUSH (A1, A2, B3) Trumpet – Thad Bailey-Mai (A1, A3, A5, B1) Saxophone – David Mergens (A2) Percussion – Kai Basanta (B5) Backing Vocals – Kendra Dias (A2, A5, B4, B6) Album design & photography – William Blake Allen Produced by Potatohead People Mastered by Stuntman Greg Recorded in Vancouver B.C. & Roberts Creek 2023-2024 ©&℗ 2025 Mysterybox Records.
