"When former business and economics students Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman converted a University of Toronto dorm room into a makeshift recording studio, they did not expect their demo of moody, intimate, and unexpectedly glossy dance tracks to land in Drake's hands just days after putting them online. But the result placed them at the epicenter of a new wave of cerebral R&B.

Now, with their self-titled debut album just released on their mentor Drake's imprint OVO Sound, the pair return to the place where their collaboration and friendship began. Against the striking Brutalist backdrop of the University of Toronto's architecture, Majid Jordan reflect on their success and don an appropriately complex mix of menswear styles."
