With it's silky beats and mellow atmospheric blends, jazz rap has become an addiction due to guys like Pete Rock and the late Nujabes. Although you really gotta dig hard these days to discover some new sounds within the sub genre, the homie Phoniks has you covered once again. For a young guy in the game, he's been able to make stale heads realize that modern day hip hop isn't all about promiscuity and gun culture. Whereas Return of the Golden Era had the Portland producer team up with Virginia based emcee Awon, Phoniks' latest endeavour has him relocating to Houston with Anti-Lilly, a 21 year old who's got the knowledge of a man five times his age. Upon pressing play, "Blue In Green" instantly transports you to the time of easy living and summertime breeze as soft spoken lyrics enter your dome. Give this one a listen down below and make sure to pick up their album, Stories From the Brass Section, on Bandcamp for more dope tracks.
