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

This dope remix of our track "Get Yours" was done by my homie https://soundcloud.com/phoniksbeats for a project for charity. Beats For The Philippines is a project that was put together by my good friends at http://www.thewordisbond.com/ to help with the relief efforts in the wake of the storm. Please support this if you can spare some change.

Today marks the end of what has been an incredible year for an independent artist like me! All the thanks goes to you for the love and support myself and https://soundcloud.com/phoniksbeats has received. Here is a personal favorite that has grown on me over the year. There is something special about this track that really has that jazzy Hip Hop nostalgia I grew up on. Look forward to Matte Black, a new project with Dephlow and many more new efforts in 2014! Happy New Year! Download at awonandphoniks.com

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
