J Dilla, Nottz, Black Milk, Oddisee & Others Collide On Finale's "A Pipe Dream And A Promise" Instrumentals


Let your head nod to the sounds of a competitive period of Hip Hop on Finale's "A Pipe Dream And I Promise" Instrumentals. This unique Detroit MC weaves words like none other and carries on the tradition of lyricists who entertain with complex wordplay. On this 2009 project, Finale enlists the cream of the crop in emerging underground production talent. This was the heyday of the Beat Society shows, high beat innovation and a time where not a drum-less Hip Hop beat could be found. On the boards is J Dilla, Nottz, Black Milk, Oddisee, Wajeed, Kev Brown, Apollo Brown, M-Phazes, Dimlite and Flying Lotus. 

In 2023, Finale remains dedicated to ripping mics as he appears on "Read The Message" with Dynas, Wordsworth, John Doe and Jah Freedom.
 

M-Phazes Flips A Classic by Teddy Riley on "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love"

By JR on 7:56 AM

Filed Under: , ,


Let the energy of 2 dance grooves from different eras inspire you to get down as producer M-Phazes flips a New Jack Swing R&B classic by Teddy Riley into a new millennium swing. "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love" by M-Phazes transforms the borrowed vocals of 1990 female R&B act Jane Child as they are chopped and arranged against a thumping rhythm to boost your adrenaline a step higher that the sampled song.

Layered with imagination in synth and percussion arrangements which intensify throughout to deliver energy, M-Phazes lends a modernized vision of dance based upon the inspiration of another distinctive era and classic sound of dance through sampling.

M-Phazes presents Camden Arc, his brand new side project exploring a different sound and direction for the ARIA winning producer. Camden Arc's debut release "I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love" takes Jane Child's original pop classic, and blasts her 90's era vocals into the future with a combo of hyped synths and thumping drums!

"I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love" is the first taste of this new passion project from M-Phazes, taking time out to experiment with new production techniques; blending them with inspiration drawn from the likes of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, DeVante Swing, Timbaland and a host of classic 90's RnB pioneers.

Jill Scott, Slaughterhouse, BIG K.R.I.T., Blu, Heltah Skeltah and CL Smooth.

"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.

If your a Supastition fan you already know how he attacks the mic and leaves an impression, for those just learning prepare for a powerful presence as this North Carolina MC displays his intellect and aggression on "The Blackboard EP".

Here is a description of this anticipated project from his Bandcamp:

"North Carolina’s own Supastition releases 'The Blackboard EP', a free 8-track digital EP. The project serves as a “thank you” to the listeners who continued to support his music after his sudden departure from the music business in 2010. The Blackboard is about returning to the basics of emceeing and rediscovering that vintage sound that Supastition has been known for since his debut album in 2002.

The project features the critically acclaimed, Yada Yada, the conceptual Best Worst Day, and the boom bap inspired “Indestructible”. The only guest appearances on The Blackboard EP are the DJ duo, Faust & Shortee, and German-based vocalist Dominique. Production on the EP is handled by longtime producers Marco Polo, M-phazes, Veterano, the Mighty DR, and Croup as well as Rik Marvel and Dirty Art Club."

These visuals are a cool way to show the daily environment of most independent Hip Hop artists today and give back insight into that humble reality which most of us can relate to. Produced by M-Phazes with cuts by DJ Brace.
