After a nice campaign leading up to what was apparently a craazy release party last night, Raz drops off his highly anticipated “Pablo Frescobar” full length debut. Shouts to the kid and Soze!
Brendan Philip chops it up with ixdaily.com. Take it in and get to know the dude.
Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with local artist, Brendan Philip of Fake Art Records, and got to pry the galaxy of innovation that is his mind. We talked about the fusing of genres in this day-and-age, we talked about his upcoming Brendan Philip Project and E.P., and most importantly we talked about the significance of cultural quilting and his creative processes.
IX: Mr. Brendan Philip, introduce yourself.
BP: I’m Brendan Philip, i’m with the FARøUT geo gang. We got Keita Juma, my best friend from way back. We got Jamal. We got Yannick on photos, we got Marcus on bass. Joseph on guitar. Yeah, it’s good.
IX: It sounds like you have a big team supporting you. How did that get set into motion?
BP: About 3 years ago now, Jamal had been living in New York for a bit, and when he came back we decided – you know – we got jobs and stuff but we also got musical talent. I would go to the shows and we hung out, KJ and I went to high school together. I used to M.C. but I wanted to switch it up and start writing songs and stuff. We’ve been working on these set of songs for 3 years.
IX: That’s wicked. I just watched a SoundClash contest you participated in, can you tell me about that experience?
BP: Well, we found out Harbour Front hosts a SoundClash, a contest where a bunch of competing bands gets whittled down. We were in the final 5 and got to play a day time set… It’s kinda like, you do your set for the public, then you canvas it… “Hey! We’re doing this thing. This is our music“. It was interesting because i’m not a big social media buff but we played, and turns out we won. We got first place out of a bunch of other talented bands, won a bunch of money, and got to open for Badbadnotgood in August 2013. It felt really promising, and started to really showcase me as a local artist on the move with my team.
The ?????$CLUB general celebrates his latest release, Pablo Frescobar, with the obligatory live event. Hip-hop will definitely be in the building. Shouts to the new school.
And just like that…Andreena drops a brand new mixtape of covers and remixes. The tape also includes 3 new original tracks to whet your appetite for hopefully a new full-length project sometime in the near future. In the meantime, peep her versions of joints from the likes of Slum Village, TheWeeknd, Bob Marley, SWV, Oasis and more…!
Covers and remixes to some of Andreena’s favourite songs.
