Kev
Brown Presents
Hassaan Mackey
Following the critically acclaimed "Pillars" EP with MindsOne, Kev
Brown teams up again with Ill Adrenaline Records, this time
collaborating with fellow Low Budget Crew member Hassaan Mackey to
bless listeners with "That Grit".
Both the Washington D.C. based producer-on-the-mic and the Rochester,
NY emcee are longtime members of the prolific artist collective and
have previously worked together various times, but this mini-album
marks the first time the two embark on a full project. Most boom-bap
enthusiasts should already be well acquainted with both Kev Brown and
Hassaan Mackey: double threat Kev Brown already showcased his skills on
microphones as well as production boards on countless releases and has
been dubbed "king of basslines" by fans worldwide.
In addition to his
solo recordings Kev's credits include beats for heavyweights like Busta
Rhymes, Biz Markie, De La Soul, Jazzy Jeff, and Marley Marl just to
name a few, as well as handling entire album production for LMNO,
Kaimbr, and Raw Poetic. Hassaan Mackey released a string of albums,
including a full-length LP with Apollo Brown, and appearances on
releases by Oddissee, Kaimbr, The Left and L'Orange.
Recorded during a series of impromptu bus and train trips Hassaan took
from Rochester to visit Kev in Washington, "That Grit" was created with
a spontaneous approach, reflecting both Mackey's freestyle background
and Brown's proven "random joints" formula. Entirely produced by Kev
Brown and featuring his signature bassline-driven and raw but soulful
sound, "That Grit" consists of an intro, eight full-length tracks and
six instrumentals. Hassaan and Kev share mic duties on most of the
songs, inviting close friends/frequent collaborators Kaimbr, Toine, yU,
Kenn Starr, Eye-Q, Asheru (of Unspoken Heard) as well as the Younger
Soul Brother Grap Luva along as feature guests, turning the record into
a true family affair.
