"This is for all my girls, lost
That was left on the steps
And the mothers that supported their daughters and didn't jet
For the baby girls gloss that she's got in her eyes
Who she reflects in the mirror, she is not in her mind

And for all my girls lost in a world of lust
That place faith in a face on a buck
Don't trust...
But believe a son will become a man
And there's still good brothers around that understand

And for all my girls searching for the man of their dreams,
Just remember that your worth ain't inanimate things
And even though it might seem like it is so far-fetched,
Being broken hearted better than with no heart left."

Phoniks & Dephlow - "Lost Girls" (now on iTunes)

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.

"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.

'Deph Threats' is the debut solo album from Hampton, Virginia native Dephlow. Linking up with Portland, ME producer Phoniks to create a raw 14-track, 55 minute soundtrack focusing on inequality, social injustice and self-reflection. A year removed from collaborating with hip-hop duo Awon & Phoniks to produce "Dephacation", 2014's upbeat onslaught of bars and metaphors, Dephlow has now stepped back to a darker place and put his ability as a songwriter on full display across tracks like Hard Times, Time Is The Teacher, Lost Girls and WWPD. Dephlow spits his stories over a soulful palette of Phoniks productions and enlists the help of F. Draper, Anti-Lilly, Awon, Envy Hunter, Tiff The Gift, Nehemiah Bell, and My Main Man Keion across the LP's 14 cuts. The result is a project that delivers powerful messages and soul-stirring personal stories over Phoniks signature gritty, soulful beats to create a debut album that will stand among the most powerful in recent hip-hop history.

"On 'Dephacation' I gave you bars, metaphors and double-entendre's. On this one I give you my soul." - Dephlow
