Liner:
It’s been a while since hip-house has reared its head in these parts, so we’re most thankful for Sabb & Zenbi’s new collaboration with rapper Born I Music. Nasty Girl takes a low-slung, shuffling groove that blends 808 snares with nu skool tech house rhythms, and allows the sordid vocal to take centre stage. Born I Music’s sleazy rhymes make this a great mix tool and an absolute joy to blend with. The Dirty Dub edit flips the script and delivers a more tribal-tinged techno monster, with choice snippets of the rap doing the damage. On the remix front, Nelski goes sprightly electronic house for his rework. An irresistible analog b-line funks its way around deft organ chords and snappy beats, with supremely cool sub-bass breakbeat interludes along the way and rasping lead lines thereafter. Tons of ideas are poured into his remix, Nelski showing up lesser producers as just plain lazy. It’s a very clever, fast-moving rework, and one that’s hard to put into words given just how much it’s got going on. Sonny Wharton rounds off this phat package with his chunky refix, looping the vocal up, bitcrushing it ever so gently and lacing it a typically saucy beast of a bassline. Less is more as far as he’s concerned, with the focus on winding hips and popping shoulders as succinctly as possible. Mission very much accomplished.

Yup.
THE SOURCE just premiered “EVERYTHING”, a new record from Philly rhyme kingpin Young Gliss, featuring Born I Music and Philly artist Dosage (who made waves for his collab on the title track of Lupe Fiasco’s new mixtape “Friend of the People”). “EVERYTHING” is the latest single from Gliss’s “Glimmer” EP and is produced by is produced by the highly talented and diverse Les Professionnels.

Peep the write up in The Source here
“Everything” is about wanting it all and doing whatever it takes to succeed. The song is a metaphor for the hunger and drive it takes to win in whatever you’re doing. Hope it inspires you!

S/O to Young Gliss (who’s Glimmer EP drops soon), Dosage, Les Prof, Dice Raw and the whole Raw Life camp. Look for Gliss to appear on King of Kings in 2012 #Salute.

“To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.”

The closing words to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” perfectly sum up Born I Music’s latest release “RE:BORN (Chairman of the Board)“.

This is truly a project for all seasons. “RE:BORN” finds Born I completely in his element as he weaves through an incredible collection of hip hop, dubstep and soul classics with impeccable timing, wordplay and delivery.

“RE:BORN” gives us Born in a new phase of personal, lyrical and artistic development. Add that to Kanye’s “Runaway”, Joker’s “Tron”, Jay Electronica’s “Ghost of Christopher Wallace” or Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat”, lace samples of Frank Sinatra & Rat Pack folklore throughout and you’ve got an experience designed to last a lifetime. This isn’t your regular mixtape. This is rebirth. Every track you’ll hear, including the artist himself has been transformed, upgraded, perfected. In a word, Re:Born.
