Dephlow "Most Dephinite" (Album Stream)

Most Dephinite is a composition of raw content and thoughtful work, mostly in collaboration with Swiss producer Boom Beats. This is the 4th album from Dephlow and the second solo project since the critically acclaimed 2015 Album of the Year nominated Deph Threats. This album carries on the tradition of Dephlow incorporating his life experiences and skill set in a conversational tone that is like "Cornell West but less Christian." Check the technique. Respect the technician. Watch him work. Most Dephinite is reportedly the last album Dephlow intends to publish any time soon, so be sure to check it out! You don't want to miss one of underground hip hop's artists to watch, and best kept secrets. In his own words: 'I've embedded pieces of my history throughout my music. My first album Deph Threats was released the year my father died. The follow up to that album Most Dephinite is being released on his birthday July 10. The first single My Brother's Keeper was released June 26 for my brother's birthday. If I achieve nothing else, I just wanted to offer my best to the people who I love most, and who inspire me to keep pushing." I respect the vision and follow-through!

Awon & Dephlow 'Sleep Is The Cousin of Death' (EP Stream)

'Sleep Is The Cousin Of Death' is the latest release from Hip-Hop collective Don't Sleep Records. The project features Virginia's own Awon & Dephlow on the mic and producer Phoniks on the boards, recreating the chemistry from their highly celebrated debut "Dephacation" in 2014. Dephlow's booming mic presence is complimented by Awon's slick, smooth delivery as the two eMCee's weave in-and-out through a compilation of Phoniks turntable cuts and somber boom-bap instrumentals. The trio proves that they haven't missed a beat since their debut, and Don't Sleep Records remains one of the best / most consistent collectives in underground Hip-Hop. The project is available digitally using the 'Name Your Price' feature on Bandcamp, on CD and Vinyl, as well as limited edition posters. The project will sell out, so be sure to support it while supplies last. Dig in...

Dephlow "Deph Threats" (Album Stream)

Last year, Dephlow made his debut with Dephacation - a collaborative album with fellow Virigina emcee Awon and Porland, ME producer Phoniks. He later reappeared on a pair of tracks on Awon and Phoniks' Knowledge Of Self LP. And now, it's time for the Hampton, VA native to release his debut solo album. Produced by Phoniks, Deph Threats clocks in just under an hour with 14-tracks that focus on inequality, social injustice, and self-reflection. Features include Awon, Anti-Lilly, Envy Hunter, F. Draper, Tiff The Gift, Nehemiah Bell, and My Main Man Keion. Dephlow adds, "This album was started during a period of my life that should've made creativity impossible. I dedicate this album to my father Leon, my best friend's father Joe, to my sister's mother Katherine, and to everyone who has lost someone they love to cancer. I wanted this album to sound aggressive and angry, but I believe God had another plan and a message of resolution and strength for me to deliver. I have no other way to describe how I put those thoughts together. I couldn't make this album the same way today. I will never forget hearing the masters for the first time. I took a ride and eventually had to pull the car over and just sit there and listen. I knew we achieved something that could live forever even if I never put another solo album out. This album is that powerful."

Awon & Dephlow "Dephacation" (Album Stream)

Awon & Dephlow - both reppin' out of VA - hit us upside the head with an LP almost entirely produced by Phoniks. The 11-track LP, "Dephacation," has only one feature and that's Awon's wife and fellow Don't Sleep Records MC, Tiff The Gift. The quality of this projects begs for the MCs to step back in the studio for another dose of real hip-hop. I suspect it'll be on its way sooner than later. Once again, tight on the quality of music, visuals and the packaging of their merch ... it's a no-brainer. I'm having deja vu all over again ... stream it below and enjoy! Peace to Don't Sleep Records.
