The smooth and inviting Jazz-Hip Hop sound of Kenneth Whalum and Big K.R.I.T.'s single"Away" demonstrates the idea of "home is where the heart is". Kenneth entertains with a thumping drum groove which unifies boom-bap with Jazz drumming to drives the emotions toward a state of relaxation with smooth vocals, thoughtful rhymes by K.R.I.T. against a moving musical arrangement which builds gradually from beginning to end.
"When it comes to Hip-Hop producers, it's safe to say that M-Phazes is Australia's biggest export to date, having produced countless works for some of the biggest names in international Hip-Hop. That signature M-Phazes sound has landed on albums over the globe including Korea, Czec Republic, Spain, America, UK, Japan and South Africa.
M-Phazes is proud to release a compilation album featuring some of his all-time favourite collaborations from his back catalogue: "The Works" With over 300+ released songs to his name, "The Works" is comprised of 12 stand out songs from artists such as Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch ft. Jill Scott, Slaughterhouse, BIG K.R.I.T., Blu, Heltah Skeltah and CL Smooth. "The Works" showcases M-Phazes' ability to output a diverse range of sounds from soulful keys to harcore drums to triumphant horns, every base gets covered by the Australian beatsmith.
"You Don't Wanna ft. Jehst & Micall Parknsun" is the only 100% exclusive track featured on "The Works" and was recorded in 2007 when Jehst & Micall were touring Australia. Complete with a chopped piano loop, heavy bassline and smacking drums, Jehst & Micall showcase their phenomenal skills as wordsmiths over that classic M-Phazes signature sound! In 2010 M-Phazes released his Aria award winning album "Good Gracious" featuring an all-star lineup of Australian Hip-Hop artists. Now in 2013, M-Phazes is releasing his next installment of compilation albums but this time it features an all-star lineup of international Hip-Hop artists only. "

You gotta appreciate the powerful messages and feel of this song with or without the video, this is positive Hip Hop which is here to teach and inspire. Lecrae, K.R.I.T. and Ashton Jones jump on production by DJ Khalil to express their belief in a higher power in the video for “Mayday.”
