A message from Sean Brown of Art of Reuse: “It would be next to impossible to squeeze every Neptune’s produced record into a single set, but alongside DJ Mike Rizzy, we’ve managed to narrow down some choice cuts into an hour long episode that includes a bit of everyone’s favorites. Diving back and forth from old to new, no one can deny the impact The Neptunes & N.E.R.D have on our generation – consider this a soundtrack to your Summer.”

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.

New Music: A.CHAL – “Dirty Mouth”
Underground DJ/producer A.Chal has been of mystique throughout his music career. An obscure figure far from hubris, he plays the background while letting the music speak volumes. That said, his role as a music producer has garnered high praise amongst his peers, more recently with fashion house Ralph Lauren where he’s been active as music director in past campaigns. Today, he shares with us an embodiment of all things experienced formed into one “video single” to give viewers an added effect. via source

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.
