Phoniks x Raashan Ahmad - Above The Clouds
The "Above The Clouds" EP is the newest collaborative release from bay
area emcee Raashan Ahmad and Portland, ME hip hop producer Phoniks. It's
infectious combination of electric piano loops, filtered basslines and
lively drum breaks lay the backbone as Raashan exhibits his natural
groove as an emcee masterfully over the project's 7 cuts. Positive
lyricism and jazzy soundscapes invoke memories of artists like A Tribe
Called Quest and De La Soul while featured emcees such as Virginia's
Awon, Chicago's MC ADaD and Slimkid3 of legendary hip-hop group The
Pharcyde each bring their own unique rhyme style to balance the sonic
palette. All these factors lead to a jazzed out, feel good project that
is both relatable and refreshing, perfect to digest on a sunny afternoon
cruise this summer.
