Here's the new single "Real Hip Hop" off the upcoming Awon & Dephlow collaborative LP, "Dephacation", produced by Phoniks. The album will be our first release together since 2013's critically acclaimed "Return to the Golden Era". It will drop digitally through Bandcamp on May 6th with the vinyl coming by Sergent Records shortly after. Pre-order links for vinyl will be available soon and supplies will be limited so keep a look out for that.

This song embodies the sound of Dephacation, which will forever serve as an example of how to sh!t on rappers who lack the skill to compete.

Awon & Dephlow - "Real Hip Hop" (Prod. Phoniks) 1st Single off "Dephacation" AVAILABLE NOW!!!

US CD/Vinyl is available at our bandcamp link 
http://dephacation.bandcamp.com/releases

European vinyl is available at http://sergentrecords.bigcartel.com

"Step Up" represents the underdog in a competitive environment. Representing a culture in a place that doesn't at all embrace it is something that is unique to our struggle. This song is about getting knocked down repeatedly and having both the courage and strength to get up, and keep fighting. "Step Up" is about taking control of our own destiny, paying our dues, and making the necessary sacrifices to win. This one is for people with a heart like a Shabazz Napier, and the determination of a Russell Wilson. 


Please support the underdogs. In doing so, you support your own independence and liberation from the tether of Tom Ford fuckery.

Pencils Not Pistols is the brand new E.P. from UK duo Imperial and K.I.N.E.T.I.K. This unlikely duo linked up in late 2012 after Imperial (now affectionately known as Big Dave because of his mighty 6’4’’ frame) sent K.I.N.E.T.I.K. (who has yet to be blessed with ANOTHER alias) a polite email requesting to collaborate. After being impressed with the spelling, grammar and attached beat in the email, K.I.N.E.T.I.K. jumped at the chance to work on some music with this courteous chap. What initially began as a track for Imperial’s yet to be released solo album, slowly morphed into a collaborative project, which once again utilizes the tried and tested formula of one producer and one emcee. Following copious amounts of parma ham and pavlova, the two discovered that they not only share a similar outlook on music but on life itself. This mutual foresight enabled them to craft seven interlinked songs that all touch on different subjects in an honest yet humorous manner. Most importantly, the project reinforces the divine duality of the human experience, even in the midst of the laughs and giggles contained throughout.

The sample-based production on Pencils Not Pistols united both Imperial and K.I.N.E.T.I.K. in their love for that strong tradition in Hip Hop. The duo pay homage with their artwork; as it is a parody of Biz Markie’s album, I Need A Haircut. As you might know, that was the album that changed music sampling law forever. Gilbert O’Sullivan… we see you. Sigh.

Future plans include a limited edition album of Pencils Not Pistols on vinyl with official merchandise. All funding will be generated by fan support.

In closing, if Bill & Ted canceled a few excellent adventures and decided to make a Hip Hop project; then it would probably sound like this... Put your pencils in the air.
