Backwoodz Studioz is proud to announce the upcoming release of Henry Canyons' first full-length LP exclusively under the Backwoodz umbrella. The Cool Side is entirely produced by Henry’s longtime collaborator, Bones, with guest features from billy woods and Homeboy Sandman. It’s a project that finds Henry putting his effortless flows to the test over Bones’ rangy production, flipping new styles with every changeup and beat switch.

“Cool Side didn’t start as an album,” Henry explains, “Bones and I started making random joints that were almost all jazz/funk samples; I’d send him sample ideas and he would send me back a beat the next day”. It was a fun thing that they talked about making into an EP, but was briefly shelved when Henry accepted an artists’ residency in Biarritz, France in the fall of 2016. 

After the residency was completed, Henry returned to the project with new perspective. “I was still in France, and in a different place mentally, physically and emotionally. Also Bones’ production had taken a darker, more pensive turn.  What came out were reactions to being abroad and isolated during a time of upheaval at home”

Bones admits that he stepped outside his own comfort zone in order to full realize Henry’s vision. “Most of my own production has more of a pop orientation. Generally, I'm into layers and harmonies and catchy hooks. But with Henry I actively tried to stray away from that,” he remembers .  

This duality frames The Cool Side both artistically, and in it’s presentation. Side A and Side B reflects not just the sides of the vinyl, but the tensions between past and present, between the ideal and the real.  While you may recognize Henry from his stellar features on albums by Backwoodz fixtures billy woods (Today, I Wrote Nothing)  and Willie Green (Doc Savage), The Cool Side of the Pillow finds Henry Canyons in a milieux all his own.

No Wings Without Scars

Fly You Away

Born in Fresno, California, producer and keyboardist Markis Precise took to time-honored traditions of crate-digging to create the sample-based soundscapes that contributed to Central California’s independent hip-hop scene. His production later evolved to incorporate his lifelong training as a keyboardist, expanding the boundaries of chopped boom bap with the melodic elements unique to live instrumentation. His 2012 release "Impressions" illustrated this concept with his own interpretations of the legendary producers that inspired him.

Markis spent 2015 true to his collaborative ethos, as he independently connected with respected hip-hop artists to contribute to his album "The Feeling Of Flying". The album features collaborations with Brother Ali, Fashawn, Elzhi, Oddisee, Zion I, The Grouch, Eligh, Ras Kass, Gift Of Gab, Strong Arm Steady, Sol, and Chuuwee. In its first week of release, "The Feeling Of Flying" became the number one added hip-hop album on the national CMJ radio charts.

In May 2020, Markis Precise released a new full-length album "No Wings Without Scars" which features collaborations with Talib Kweli, Conway, Murs, Brother Ali, Locksmith, Fashawn, Ill Camille, The Grouch, Eligh, Reuben Vincent, Stro, and Jon Keith.
