Marquis Phifer is such a natural entertainer – such a charismatic and effortlessly appealing brand strategist, dj and showman – that it’s easy to ignore how weirdly, how willfully, he’s gone about his career. Walk on Water is the biggest pop event of 2013 so far, but it’s not quite a pop album. Its sense of musical space-time is more elastic and sprawling than anything on the radio: The 35 tracks are catchy, but the emphasis is on rhythm and flow.
Given Phifer’s habit of being outspoken, he returns with a new album and sound–compiled with the most electrifying beats; luxury or nothing. Marquis Phifer Presents | “Walk on Water”. Expect immediate gratification.

The Homme School Monogram Album: Phifer doesn’t really do low stakes. He identifies his competition as “Michelangelo, Picasso, the pyramids,” and it’s not like he’s afraid of high expectations. The Homme School Monogram album trades sonic extravagance–present perfect; runway-inspired songs you don’t need to wrap. Perfectly original, perfectly extravagant. And I’m all about a life of extravagance – bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. HSM goes for the grandeur of staccato verse dropping, it’s like a Ball and rap concert–all in the same venue, same stage. Phifer goes for all of it, all the time. This is a luxury download. Expensive & cheap. It shows some of my Houston roots. Download The Homme School Monogram Album.
Album Details: HSM is maniacally inspired House music, coasting on heroic levels of dementia, pimping on top of various hip-hop beats integrated with some old-fashioned razzle-dazzle, fantasy, idiosyncratic style–credited to my “Prima Donna,” street ways–the more brash, male-empowering alter ego story is finally told.

The Re-Up QUEEN Album: The grandeur euro-rap bravdo (having transitioned into a more self-mythologizing sound, Marquis Phifér has gotten conceptual on you all). Presenting you with a musical storybook series of the most extravagant embossed and electrifying beats. The QUEEN Album is the prima donna, the diva of divas: an album with a 55 song setlist of the funkiest songs, the flashiest Bob Fosse-meets-hip-hop dance moves and, the Longest Album of All Time. Download The QUEEN Album.
A re-up download for those who never heard the QUEEN; 55 songs that will change your life! Phifér is such a force of nature that it’s easy to overlook his musical trump card: He’s a bit of a weirdo. His weirdness is musical – it’s in the idiosyncratic way he syncopates beats, the odd melodies that floats over rugged beats, his sui generis mix of rap bravado, sanctimony and old-fashioned showbiz razzle-dazzle–the vicarious experience of opulence. Ambitious, and sonically bold.
QUEEN might be his strangest album. It’s a big-budget megapop album with over three and a half hours of music, and an A list of guest stars (Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce). Download The QUEEN Album.

Ladies, and gentlemen… and lowlifes. It is with outstanding pleasure that I am here to present King P Vol. II Storybook! While the mostly up-tempo disc never lacks for energy, some of the more beat-driven tracks feel harmonically and melodically cooked, with hooks that live up to Phifer‘s flair. I’m fiercely passionate about this ensemble that I’ve curated for you–the flow, the cadence, the wordplay and the baffling eurodisco presence is something to behold. Anyway, I’d like to take this time out to bow before myself–divine majesty. Oh your majesty, may I kiss your hand? Enough! Come your highness, King P Vol. II awaits you!

PERFORMANCE DISC: The grandeur euro-rap bravdo (some tend to eye-roll when people remain ambiguous about what they listen to, but in Phifer‘s case, where it sounds like he’s essentially building his own dj brand while getting a degree from one of the most extravagant embossed and electrifying Party nightlifes).
Arrogance is so unattractive. Excuse my french, or is it? Marquis Phifer Presents “PERFORMANCE” from our “Leadership & Heroic Flutes” series; maniacally inspired music, coasting on heroic levels of dementia, pimping on top of various hip-hop beats. Yeah he does a whole lot. But in a spoken-word segment, P notes that this PERFORMANCE disc (which was inspired by his character in the upcoming luxe life after graduation and his previous club experiences) came “effortlessly,” and that’s sometimes all too clear. I’m fiercely passionate about this ensemble that I’ve put together for you–the flow, the cadence, the wordplay and the baffling presence is something to behold. While the mostly up-tempo disc never lacks for energy, some of the more beat-driven tracks (such as the “La La La” by Jay-Z) feel harmonically and melodically cooked, with hooks that live up to most downloaded Phifer album as of yet, “Girls $ Goons” mixtape.
Album Details: Inspired by the nouveau riche. The songs structures are just brilliant. So listen to this entire disc and try and say it’s one dimensional; I’m trying to disseminate a sense of dance exclusivity into your speakers nightlife– throwing invite-only parties gives me the right. PERFORMANCE embodies that young, flagrant, and flamboyant sound that you live for. And there’s plenty of seductive wit and charming feminism here. Phifer offers both himself and his checkbook: trademark decadence, Phif-isms. It’s all a PERFORMANCE | DOWNLOAD PERFORMANCE Disc.
May your finances become empowered.
