Born
August 25, 1975
Genre
Jazz
Supremely creative drummer and beatmaker Karriem Riggins has equally impressive jazz and hip-hop résumés. The Detroiter started with singer Betty Carter and first saw his name in liner notes the year he turned 20. His longstanding partnership with rapper Common began a couple years later and covers a wealth of projects, including the Emmy-winning song "Letter to the Free." Through Common, Riggins collaborated extensively with Jay Dee, aka J Dilla. The two are linked by The Shining, a posthumous Dilla album that Riggins completed at the behest of his beatmaking mentor. Riggins also released the whimsical hip-hop production showcases Alone Together (2012) and Headnod Suite (2017). He issued two jazz albums as one-half of Jahari Massamba Unit (beside Madlib), followed by To the Jungle (2024), a set of drum tracks. Roy Hargrove, Diana Krall, Paul McCartney, and Steve Lacy are also among the artists with whom Riggins has worked.
Karriem Riggins has also released music as a member of August Greene, The Detroit Experiment, Jahari Massamba Unit, Karriem Riggins Trio, Supreme Team Ray Brown Trio.
