kechPhrase “Slight Progress EP”

5 Jun

A quick catch up right quick on what kechPhrase has been up to:

a) he’s signed with Kool AD through Veehead which is something going on under Das Racist‘s other half Himanshu‘s Greedhead.

b) he’s released his Kechstrumentals Volume 1 through Mishka (that link just reminded me, listen to Arrested Development from Kool’s 51 tape (prod. by kech))

c) he’s been networking like he knows how, heard he’s been talking to the likes of Hoodie Allen and through some type of ivy-league connect he’s been talking to Xaphoon Jones‘ brother.

Sincerely Yours was a bomb mixtape, it was the first thing Kechphrase sent to me. I felt like most of that mixtape/album was radio friendly (and when I say radio friendly I mean radio mind blowing), but anyway he’s talking about getting some singles radio to hit the airstream I couldn’t tell you which one I would pick. The Slight Progress EP will feed into a full album later this year expect to hear to some older cuts like “Fall Back” or “Closure” on it don’t be surprised though if they’re completely reworked. In the meantime stream what you can, I see these soundclouds come n’ go all the time.

Hit up Kech on twitter or facebook, he’s good at keeping everyone updated.

mixtape: kechPhrase – Sincerely Yours

10 Dec

Over the past couple days I’ve been choppin’ it up with Ikechi Nnamani, he’s a 21-year old producer from Chicago that goes by the name of kechPhrase. Basically, he’s on Greedhead Entertainment’s radar. He’s just dropped his Sincerely Yours mixtape it’s full of all kinds of different bangers. His beats are dope, he’s got those good piano keys on lock. His flow is at times just grotesque and disgusting.. on Mettre Fin Aux Impostre he annihilates his own track. So, Dapwell has recruited him for the follow up of this mixtape being presented today.

kech has been hard at work, too. He’s already has some tracks with Kool A.D. (Vicky Vazquez), whom is currently working on a yet-to-be-titled project. Kool asked kech to keep the unmastered versions up so yall could have something to listen to in the meantime; hit the jump to the Illuminati blog. When the boys from DR get back from their European Excursion they’ll start mastering. I imagine things will be crazy when they get back to the states, as with the release of the Brand New Dance video yesterday Stereogum announced that Dap n’ Vazquez will both be releasing tapes on New Year’s Day. Be on the lookout, this shit will be developing very soon.

kech is also working on a track for Big Baby Gandhi for the follow up to Big Fucking Baby, his second mixtape and don’t be surprised if you hear BBG n’ Fat Tony on kech’s upcoming EP. He also has instrumental tape set to release in March, it’s on some what-the-game’s-been-missing ish, taking you back ’96. I can’t wait to hear some someone flow on the beats, these tracks are about to develop as some of 2012′s purest hip-hop. Kassa Overall is also doing work on a new mixtape to be released through Greedhead. One thing I’m pretty sure of is that there’s a lot of upcoming revenue coming toward Greedhead Entertainment, this shit sounds expensive.

“Mettre Fin Aux Imposteurs “

“Sign Deals (Chicago)”

I’m saying you really need to listen to the production on tracks like “Fall Back” and “Payback” these tracks could be huge. kech has mentioned the possibility of doing a video for Payback; more soon.
