Listen to Forever HERE.

Of the tribute, video director Tony Reames shared, “When I first heard ‘Forever’, I was not prepared for the depth and honesty, it took me a long time to let it all sink in. DJ Rasta Root came up with the idea of personal photos and videos to match the message for the video. The lyrics are also all in Phife’s own handwriting, we scanned in a lot of his writings to create a font as if Phife himself was telling you the story. I’m forever grateful to be around Phife, his family and everyone we met along the way.”

Dion “DJ Rasta Root” Liverpool added, “I felt like a song as powerful as Forever had to have a video. Thanks to Tony Reames, who directed most of Phife’s videos, we were able to complete this to round off the album’s third single.”

The Estate unveiled the single, of the same name, “Forever” on Saturday, March 19th. The single, recorded on March 19, 2016, marks the last song ever recorded by Phife Dawg as he transitioned only a few days later.

Before his untimely passing in 2016, the four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum New York-born MC and member of A Tribe Called Quest, spent time working on the album, partnering with trusted collaborators, and assembling a catalog of songs representative of his art. He carefully assembled a collection of songs earmarked by his signature verbal fireworks, hilarious adlibs, incisive social commentary, and unexpectedly introspective confessions. With the blessing of his family and his most trusted collaborator and business partner, Dion Liverpool (Executive Producer), under their imprint Smokin’ Needles Records, his Estate is ready to unveil his pure vision and final word as a solo rapper. The album will includes “Nutshell PART 2” (Ft. Busta Rhymes & Redman), which debuted in 2021. The album will be distributed in partnership with AWAL, who provide strategic distribution and global marketing for Phife’s solo album.

Rising Star FaceVsIt: Merging Hip Hop and Classical Composition

Published

on

In the ever-evolving landscape of music, few artists manage to bridge the gap between seemingly disparate genres. One such trailblazer is Facevsit, a rapper and songwriter whose journey has been fueled by a deep connection to poetry and hip hop. As a young child, Facevsit found solace in writing poetry, which naturally evolved into rap as the genre’s rhythmic and lyrical intensity resonated with him. Now, his career is a testament to his ability to balance the disciplines of composition and rap, creating a unique and compelling sound.

Facevsit’s creative process is both intricate and intuitive. When composing new pieces, he collaborates closely with his producers, bringing in references and building the foundation of his music together. This collaborative spirit is particularly evident in his work with THX Beats, where they blend diverse influences to create something fresh. On the other hand, his approach to writing rap lyrics is deeply personal. Inspired by his thoughts and emotions, Facevsit’s lyrics are a reflection of his experiences and observations, making his music a powerful storytelling medium. His experiences as a composer enrich his rap performances, imbuing them with a depth and authenticity that resonate with listeners.

Influences play a crucial role in shaping Facevsit’s sound. While mainstream hip hop legends like Tupac, Eminem, and Nas have left an indelible mark on his style, he also draws inspiration from underground icons such as Atmosphere and Immortal Technique. Beyond the realm of hip hop, Latin music legends like Julio Jaramillo, Hector Lavoe, and Oscar De Leon have significantly influenced his work. This eclectic mix of influences is evident in his music, where genres like salsa, cumbia, and merengue seamlessly blend with hip hop, thanks to the innovative production of THX Beats. As the future of music continues to evolve with the blending of genres, Facevsit aims to be at the forefront, contributing to this dynamic landscape. His advice to aspiring artists is simple yet profound: “Do what you enjoy, trust yourself and how music makes you feel, and never stop.” With this mindset, Facevsit is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music industry.
