Freestyle sample chop beat. Raw boom bap drums, dusty textures, and a chopped loop that hits like a rigged game. "The House Always Wins" isn’t just about casinos—it’s a metaphor for the system. The house isn’t just the casino, it’s corporate greed, it’s the government, it’s the powers that be stacking the deck. A reflection of the times, where no matter how you play, the house always comes out on top. Let it ride.

Dirty trashcan beats. Growing up in NYC in the Golden Era of Hip Hop, he is informed by the East Coast 90’s sound with touches of G-Funk and West Coast flavor, as he now resides in Oakland, CA. Currently working on a concept album with DJ Ammbush (Oakland Faders/Drums and Anmo) entitled “Drums and Ammo,” “Philthy,” as many know him, fuses obscure samples lifted from dusty vinyl dug from across the globe with retrofuturistic synths and garbage-can snares and rhinoceros charlie horse kick drums, laced with hi-hats drenched in kisses of the Gods of Rome. He has a steady output of beats and artistic works, including live beat performances. Dr. Gann has been working with TFS in Bay Area schools and community settings, and across the globe using Hip Hop beat making and culture as a mental health, educational, social justice and cross-cultural intervention. He has worked with more than 75,000 youth on six continents in the past six years through TFS and is currently developing the Therapeutic Beat Making (TBM) Model.
