"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. "

Da Beatminerz: "...Sumthin'" b/w "Another World" 7" feat. Tash, Rah Digga & Blackstar

Ill Adrenaline digs up a couple unreleased gems of the late 90's from the Dewgarde Crib of Hits. This 7" features Da Beatminerz signature boom-bap flavor which made them a go-to production unit for dusty Hip Hop straight from the basement. Tash and Rah Digga trading verses on "...Sumthin"" is a refreshing display of lyricism in 2012 pairing two talented MCs from opposite coasts over funky sounds by Evil Dee & Mr. Walt. The boom-bap continues on the flip-side with "Another World" remix as Da Beatminerz bring a jazzy knock to Blackstar's classic song.
Get a nice reminder of how New York gets your head-nodding like no other region with the sounds of this limited-edition vinyl pressing. Listen to both songs below at UGHH.com where the 7" is currently available.
