About the upcoming mixtape Harn SOLO says, “I’m excited to give my fans new music with a different style and approach. I’ve been gravitating to a more progressive and electronic sound, and I think my audience will enjoy the latest artistic transformation.”

Following the critically acclaimed Pillars EP with MindsOne, Kev Brown teams up again with Ill Adrenaline Records, this time collaborating with fellow Low Budget Crew member Hassaan Mackey to bless listeners with That Grit.
Both the Landover, MD based producer-on-the-mic and the Rochester, NY emcee are longtime members of the prolific artist collective and have previously worked together various times, but this mini-album marks the first time the two embark on a full project. Most boom-bap enthusiasts should already be well acquainted with both Kev Brown and Hassaan Mackey: double threat Kev Brown already showcased his skills on microphones as well as production boards on countless releases and has been dubbed “king of basslines” by fans worldwide. In addition to his solo recordings Kev’s credits include beats for heavyweights like Busta Rhymes, Biz Markie, De La Soul, Jazzy Jeff, and Marley Marl just to name a few, as well as handling entire album production for LMNO, Kaimbr, and Raw Poetic. Hassaan Mackey released a string of albums, including a full-length LP with Apollo Brown, and appearances on releases by Oddissee, Kaimbr, The Left and L’Orange.
Recorded during a series of impromptu bus and train trips Hassaan took from Rochester to visit Kev in Washington, That Grit was created with a spontaneous approach, reflecting both Mackey’s freestyle background and Brown’s proven “random joints” formula. Entirely produced by Kev Brown and featuring his signature bassline-driven and raw but soulful sound, That Grit consists of an intro, eight full-length tracks and six instrumentals. Hassaan and Kev share mic duties on most of the songs, inviting close friends/frequent collaborators Kaimbr, Toine, yU, Kenn Starr, Eye-Q, Asheru (of Unspoken Heard) as well as the Younger Soul Brother Grap Luva along as feature guests, turning the record into a true family affair.
That Grit is now available for purchase (CD/LP/cassette/digital) via Ill Adrenaline/Low Budget Records and to celebrate, we get a ‘Low Budget’ posse cut, “Git Em,” by underground icons Kev Brown & Hassaan Mackey featuring yU (of Diamond District), Toine (of DTMD), Kaimbr and Eye-Q.

‘S.F.M.S Volume One’ is the brand new EP from Bristol rapper D-Red who first bust onto the Hip-Hop scene back in 2013 when he did his debut performance on the Main Stage at St. Paul’s Carnival. This led to him getting booked again this year too playing on the Windrush Stage with Bristol vet K*Ners and Gillz amongst others. Other notable live performances include the Hobbs Fashion Show during Bristol Fashion Week and Glastonbury, as well as sharing stages with the likes of Buggsy, Bil Nex, Jinxsta JX, K*Ners, King Aggi, Hozay, Krazy & Drillz and Lowdose.
Both on Ujima & Passion FM have shown radio support as well as being interviewed live numerous times, all championing D-Red’s unique sound. As his buzz built he was asked to be part of the Bristol-Rio Project which has allowed D-Red to collaborate with talented Brazilian artists as part of an upcoming album. Future plans include going over to Brazil to do live shows, radio appearances and more work to help push the D-Red sound internationally.
To be honest D-Red is no rookie to working on an international level as his first release and most successful song to date ‘Just Some Weed Bars’ was produced by French DJ/Producer Matka, a veteran of the French festival circuit. The track received over a thousand plays on his Soundcloud page in less than a month and when the music video dropped on You Tube it had over a thousand views on You Tube with zero promotion, as well as getting in K Mag’s Top Ten videos of the month.
This track & video have lead to upcoming features with artists all over the globe, from Vard in Sheffield to Viz Beats in California, from MaHan Mnt in Iran to Berbal in Chile, and of course SweetDish Nelson Barros as well as rest of the HighGang collective in France. D-Red is getting known in so many different countries that it’s only a matter of time before he blows.
‘S.F.M.S Volume One’ is produced by J-Max aka JMaxfield, a young underground producer from Bristol and was recorded in Paris, mixed & mastered in the west of France. It’s ‘international UK Hip-Hop’ all the way. This EP is features no guests, therefore giving the listener the perfect chance to step inside the mind of the artist. This is just the beginning, the start of something epic… D-Red has concreted himself in the Bristol Hip-Hop scene and now it’s time to take things global.
D-Red is hard at work and back in the studio currently creating two separate EP’s. The first one with Ghetto Funk producer Deeploy and the other with upcoming London producer Drae DaSkimask. Things are bubbling, it’s all go… it’s all about D-Red, we advise you to remember the name!
