NEW ALBUM OUT NOW! AWON & DEPHLOW DEPHACATION (PRODUCED BY PHONIKS)

dephacation.bandcamp.com/releases

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dephacation-prod.-phoniks/id868637472

Blood in Blood Out is a story about the perils of drug dealing and drug abuse that has a chilling personal touch to it. This is a very riveting tale of street life that touches the heart. "The story is about two people I lost that were very near and dear to me, I hope people can learn from my experiences." -Awon 

The album attempts to bring back the golden era boombap sound of New York hip hop in the 90's, with sharp, clever emceeing by Newport News' Awon and smooth, jazzy production by Portland producer Phoniks.

Awon is an American underground hip hop artist who is currently making a name for himself amongst the international hip hop community. Most known for his Goon Trax debut, Beautiful Loser, Awon is also part of the group Awon & Kameleon Beats and a member of the hip hop collective, The Soul Students. Awon has worked on various works with Thomas Prime on Waiting for Tomorrow, and Love Supersedes II.

Phoniks is a 22 year old up and coming producer from Portland who has built a reputation online for his series of hip hop remix albums with classic/old school flare, 2011's "The Tape" and 2013's "Basement Vibes" and "Make Beats, Don't Sleep" have achieved success both domestically and internationally through his Bandcamp website. He has been featured on a number of hip hop blogs and magazines including Respect Mag, gripsquad.com,ughh.com, and whudat.de.

From the album "Dice Game"

About the album:
Someone once said that life's a gamble. Kinda like shootin dice in an alley. The risk is high but the gain is higher, and when it's all said and done, you hold your breath and collect your dues. W ith lyrics that grip like a handful of ones, and beats that hit like ivory on cement, this album is just that, a Dice Game.

Guru Tribute starts at 1.04:00
****** DOWNLOAD WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE. TOO MANY GANG STARR RECORDS ON HERE, IF YOU LIKE THEM GO BUY THEIR ALBUMS OR GREATEST HITS ALBUM *******

On Friday 4/13/19 it was the 3rd anniversary of Keith "Guru" Elam's passing. So While Dj Premier was away doing a show I filled in for him on his radio show "Live From Headqcourterz". As much as it is an honor to be regularly asked by Premier to fill in for him, this night was really special because not only would I fill in but I was also allowed to do a tribute set to his late partner in Gang Starr, Guru. As Guru was one of my favorite MC's of all time and Gang Starr is my favorite rap group of all time, this mix was truly from the heart. On top of that to do this mix live in front of Guru's long time engineer Eddie Sancho & his long time friend Panchi of the NYG'z, made it even more special. 
Guru Rest In Power, Gang Starr Forever!!!!
