Solid Sounds is back again with a new episode starring my friend Blake Phillips! On this episode I interview Blake, as well as showcase some of his music. Blake is a producer/ DJ from Houston, Texas. He's been up in Fayetteville for school at the University Of Arkansas. Blake and I have known each other for roughly two years now, and in that time I have witnessed a lot of growth in his producing capabilities- even when the odds seemed stacked to stifle.
Solid Sounds Ep 104 feat Bmoney is also up on youtube, just click the highlighted words to the left, or click the link I'll leave at the bottom of the article.
To lead off the show we had some Skizzy Mars in the background, but Blake and I have better music ahead. Blake initiates his work off by playing a song pretty reminiscent of a Playstation 2 turning on, but remixed and with an actual melody and rhythm. It's bellissimo and a hard hitting banger that you and your friends could easily freestyle to.
After I announce the blatantly obvious of how the last song you were listening to was an exclusive, Blake's next project fades in. This is of course, another fantastic song for everyone to freestyle over, and we even do so in the Youtube video when this track comes on.
An abrupt, but quick transition leads us to the next slapper on this podcast. This song has a mesmorizing rhythm to me, the keyboard and 808's racketeering off of the hi-hat snares give the song a great pace and even more enjoyable delivery of bass.
As per usual, a request to call in from myself builds into ANOTHER beat by Blake (B-money) I really like the next song because I've watched Blake build it from near-scratch. This aery, yet uplifting tune is one of the most Solid Sounds I've had the privilege of sharing on my podcast/radio show.
Next week I've got my friend Andrew Michael Jackson on to do a live, on-air mix. I'll also be asking him some pretty cool questions as well. Next Monday I'll have the video of our interview and live set uploaded to YouTube. In the meantime, I hope you have a chance to check out and enjoy the latest edition of Solid Sounds.
