Blood in Blood Out is a story about the perils of drug dealing and drug abuse that has a chilling personal touch to it. This is a very riveting tale of street life that touches the heart. "The story is about two people I lost that were very near and dear to me, I hope people can learn from my experiences." -Awon

SoulChef - Cheers (Feat. Awon)

This joint here was inspired by all the negative energy I have encountered online, not that it out weighs the positive at all. I just think that some people hate just to hate. They hate to be different or just to go against the grain. It is really a shame because constructive critism is needed, but opinions are like assholes everyone has one.

Being idependent has so many advantages, one advantage is the ablilty to put out music when you want to. I literally was inboxed by Phoniks at 6:44 a.m. today. He spent all night putting this remix for Street Saga together off Return to The Golden Era. When I heard it I knew we had to make a move and put it out because at the end of the day its all about bringing the art to the people. We will continue to supply dope music and art with innovative ideas and an out of the box style of thinking. The amount of support you all who listen have given us is unmatched, and proved to us that we may never need a label again as long as you all continue to spread the word and the good vibes we have been giving off all over the world. Thanks to you, Return to The Golden Era was deemed a classic by many, Stories From The Brass Section by Anti-Lilly and Phoniks is buzzing! The Tiff the Gift remixes are getting spread! Dephlow's Lost Girls blew the fuck up, and I know you are all hyped for Dephacation which is almost finished. Its been a great year so far and much more is to come. Much Love and Respect to you all.

To celebrate Dephacation dropping next week I have chosen to take you all back to Return To The Golden Era to refresh your memory of what Awon & Dephlow sound like on a track produced by Phoniks. The idea behind this track came from a documentary on Liberia I saw that really had me bugging out in regard to how war torn and impoverished the country was. The documentary reminded me of the violence I have seen in America especially in the inner-city. We wanted to make a point that guns don't kill, people make the decision to do so. Dephlow also highlights the social injustice and racism that corrupts our judicial system all layered over a haunting piano laced track by Phoniks! I hope you all enjoy and remember May 6th Dephacation drops. Reserve your copy of Dephacation HERE! VINYL Pre-Orders NOW AVAILABLE! dephacation.bandcamp.com/releases

Awon & Phoniks - Return to the Golden Era- The Remixes - 03 Champagne Laced (Remix)

This was my first full length LP originally released in 2008 via Goon Trax records and once again digitally in 2010 by Digi Crates records. I guess enough people did not know about it because people have been rediscovering it as of late. There is a lot of craziness behind this LP from meeting a cool new crew of friends, to a mysterious stolen hard drive. Looking back it's worth the rediscovery so I packed in a couple of extras and all the lyrics to the LP are available as well. If you can spare a couple of bucks that would be awesome, if not just spread the word so people know about the underground classic. If you happen to come across a Still Got Love Maxi single hit me up, mine is scratched. 

Peace and Love, 

-Awon

Free for a limited time! Once the downloads are gone they are gone!

Awon & Phoniks - Return To The Golden Era- The Remixes - 06 Forever Ill (Remix)

 Natural High is the first single off the new LP by Awon entitled "Matte Black Soul". Like the album, Natural High takes a more personal approach from Awon. The song deals with the task of maintaining a relationship while perusing his own dreams. He exposes his own flaws while pointing out the positive aspects of his lady. While this track may seem like a typical and smug ode to the opposite sex, it is quite deceptive in its own right. This song is developed with the streets in mind. Phoniks laces the track with cuts and his signature bass heavy jazz style of production. Sit back, spark up and go on this journey with Awon & Phoniks.

Awon - Matte Black Soul- 03 Natural High (Prod. Phoniks)VINYL OUT NOW!!!!

This record is one of my favorites off the project, it is produced by Phoniks. Take Time tells the story of a guy who falls for one of his loyal customers and friends. The only problem is that she has a man ha ha. 


Awon - "Matte Black Soul" OUT NOW at 
VINYL OUT NOW!!!!
http://dontsleeprecords.bandcamp.com/releases

13-tracks of dope rhymes over smooth soul-influenced beats. I produced 5 tracks and an interlude! Great winter album. This is also the first release from our new independent label Don't Sleep Records and is available digitally as a Pay What You Want download (as always). With that said, if you dig the project we would obviously appreciate a small contribution. CD's begin shipping on 12/15 and iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc. should be live within the next 48 hours. Rather than give you a wordy description I'm just going to let these lyrics speak for themselves and tell you to go cop the album. Peace!

"They quick to tell you lies anytime you askin questions/
Holdin back your mind, brainwash you to depression/
So you can get prescriptions, sip the syrup and make em rich/
Just like the contra killed the projects in '86/
Today the crack is molly, percocets, the vics and oxy's/
Bath salts and World Star got the baby's catchin bodies/
They mommy's twerk teamin and they son's sit and watch/
And we wonder why the baby's find refuge on the block/ 
It's the same concept as the crabs in the pot/
Cuttin off eachother's claws so they can get to the top/
But there's really no escapin' if you already hooked/
My best advice to swimmers: stay away from nets and hooks"

Exquisite Ft. Dephlow [prod. HDK]- OLD FASHIONED OUT NOW

I just wanted to drop something new. 

Im over loops smoking kush
Sipping red wine
Thanking god
I ain’t done a day of fed time
Masterminding ways to make the bag of bread mine
My money need to make paper in its spare time
Tech 9s in 850is
We rocking hard
Wallabies kith Velours
Outta Berdoff
I cook you like a Cornish hen
Cause you bird soft
My shooters snipers
Knock your beak
And your purse off
And if you ever want the battle
Then you worse off
Been getting bags
From spitting blades
I’m a known boss
But y’all the type that will get bagged
And then talk
Pointing at niggas in court
Adopt that bitch walk
See I’m a Bright
I ravish mics I’m a phenomenon
Elf money Aspirations
Hold the magic wand
So don’t ask me for the L
If you can’t smoke the bomb
Cologne is out of Neiman Marcus
Bitch I’m Bloomingdales
It ain’t hard to tell
That I still own a digi scale
I’m getting mail for kicking tales
I’m rocking grails
I buy sell you niggaz wail
Your shit is stale
Ya bitch a hoe but a gentleman never kiss and tell
The loop ain’t perfect but fuck it
It’s served the purpose
Cause after they heard this
word is in the illest on the surface
I spit that shit that make a nigga nervous
I’m out for blood
Impervious to any hate
I’m the alpha thug
Don’t make me call the shower posse
To rain down the slugs
Some of my closest friends
Moving large amounts of drugs
Fuck a plug
I Manufacture the whole shit
i like it raw Cook the cut
Off the whole brick
Out for the lambo
Orange like cheetos
And big bank accounts for my migos
Cookouts in the hood for my peoples
We gotta buy it back before they raise the price
I won’t stop until my family is straight for life

Holy

Sometimes we chase perfection and we don't release our best art. Art is made to be raw and imperfect because we are human beings and our existence is one of contradiction and imperfection. Our flaws are what makes life beautiful, harnessing those attributes to create is power. Why wait to say something? I wrote this in 2015 after a rough year that would change my life forever. I just wanted to express how thankful I was for life and the constant inspiration that the Earth and our creator gives us all. The track is produced by @SoupOverHere a good friend of mine who gave me the blessing to drop it. Here's to positivity, a constant theme in my life is that Love supersedes everything. Below you will find the lyrics.

I'm inspired by dope beats
And fresh kicks
The streets all around the world
And the fly chicks
Inspired by humanity
Our insanity
Is fueled by vanity
Inspired by the L you hand to me
Inspired by emcees of all categories
From Nas to the Migos
We all have a story
Hip Hop is all encompassing
You fronting when
You pit art against art
You are a sucka then
Divide in conquer
Is the phrase that inspired masters
You and your divisive ways
The product of the aftermath
Of Rome
Philosophy is blown through
The roof
I'm inspired by big body coupes
If I ever loose my kuff
I'm inspired by the Henny
Heinekens or the Remy
Only if I had pennies
For the rhymes I tossed
In waste baskets 
Could of been hot
When I was watching Kobe
Takin them inspirational shots
I'm inspired by life
Poetry, literature, Renaissance Art
Don't forget Brogue interiors
I'm inspired by space, time, and God my creator
Sometimes I even get inspired by haters
From Yoda to Darth Vader
And every Marvel Comic
The memories of my seeds diapers
Even their vomit
After loud burps
From the heart beat
On my chest
Inspired the life coming from my wife's breast
The sun on my face
The smell of the ocean
Adam and Eve
The seasons change
God with the brush
Painting the leaves
Hope it's this colorful when I leave
Hit subatomic
Born in another dimension in the tropics
Inspired by words, language, sounds
And the Jazz
Inspired by the future
The same way as the past
Looking for a cure for death
So the love can always last
Memories of mama J
Giving both my babies baths
Inspired by Marcus Garvey
And Malik Shabazz
The Moorish and Israelite brothers who
Teach the math
Inspired by the 7 and the Crescent
Since prepubescent
Through adolescence
Lost my homies to the essence
Inspired by Kareem, Eddie, Pree, and Lil Mike, Nate Woods, Pete and all my brothers who lost might
My insight is what my pen writes
I'm sharp been tight
Love is power
And it inspired me to get right
