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.

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 

Awon & Phoniks - Return to the Golden Era -12 Correct Techniques

Hip-Hop legend Edo.G teams up with his apprentices G. Dot & Born, Boston natives, to shine light on their story and style while also providing their own sound.  All production is handled by Confidence, who's claim to fame includes "Rashad and Confidence" and "Purpose and Confidence" on Ill Adrenaline Records and he produced seven tracks on Neek the Exotic’s “Hustle Don’t Stop” LP from 2012.  

The LP is fourteen tracks deep with Gdot & Born handling about half the duties on the mic, with the remaining tracks being handled by Edo.G, providing listeners with a nice diversity; while Confidence keeps a steady stream of that authentic Hip-Hop he is known for throughout.
     
Confidence, a student of the game dating back to the 90’s, first got a taste of music production in the mid 90′s while learning to DJ with his brother Technic.  His break didn't come until 2001 when he copped an MPC 2000xl which he still uses to this day to compose masterpieces.   

G. Dot & Born relay the struggle of survival in the streets with hard-hitting raw lyrics, traditional gritty street beats and a confident delivery that takes Hip-Hop back to its essence. G. Dot and Born stay true to the city of Boston that raised them and 90’s Hip Hop influences like J. Dilla, Sean P., Big Pun, Edo G., Kool G. Rap, AZ and Nas by embodying a humble braggadocio that only real life experiences teach you. 

Today, the group offers up a tribute song, “Living Legend,” dedicated to the one and only Pete Rock, featuring Pete’s former INI cohorts Grap Luva (Pete’s brother), Rob-O & EDO. G.

Confidence Presents G. Dot & Born Featuring EDO. G will be released on 1-28-14 and you can pre-order it here: http://redlinemusicdistribution.bigcartel.com/product/confidence-presents-gdot-born-featuring-edo-g

Tiff The Gift - "Changed Hearts" (Phoniks Remix)

Leak off the upcoming "Stories from the Brass Section" album dropping THIS SATURDAY 3/8/2014.

Don't sleep on the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEfgnzxVPQY

Houston emcee Anti-Lilly and Portland, ME producer Phoniks have linked up for a collaborative LP that's dropping on 3/8/2014. The album, titled "Stories from the Brass Section", is a journey through the mind of the Houston emcee, filled with thought-provoking rhymes over a soundscape of jazzy piano samples, vinyl horn loops, and dusty drum-breaks created by Phoniks. The pairing of Phoniks vintage east coast production style combined with Anti's classic laid back H-Town delivery and introspective bars make for a combination that is truly fresh, while paying tribute to the originators of their respective sounds at the same time.

Anti-Lilly & Phoniks - "14 Til"

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.
