For many years, Mr. Brady has been a staple in the hip-hop game, and has consistently found ways to reinvent himself and stay relevant. Many know Mr. Brady solely as an Emcee from albums such as Dirty, released via Battle Axe Records, or from his work with super collective Deep Rooted. What many fans might not know is that this multi-talented artist also uses his abilities to create the roots of his art. With just about every release of his own, Mr. Brady holds the feat of handling a majority of the production, which is what lead to the inevitable and much welcomed release of his instrumental studio album, Speechless. Producing for the likes of Diamond D, Blu, and Aloe Blacc to name only a few, Mr. Brady effortlessly hops behind the boards with his signature grit, raw, and soulful sound. Speechless is a primarily sample chop based 15-track opus, emitting hard-hitting drums and wobbly heavy basslines, designed to wake you out of slumber, with resonance that emanates throughout your entire body. From start to fnish, Speechless is more than a listen, but rather it is a journey, full of evoked emotions and feelings straight from the heart of Mr. Brady’s soul. On a record where Mr. Brady remains speechless, we undeniably hear him, loud and clear.

Stardust is a magical collaboration of new music from Germany’s tiptop funk duo First Touch that combine forces with native master blaster Bybo Funk. This four song up-tempo EP brings charismatic chord arrangements along with sophisticated and infectious basslines together for cosmic dance floor boogie. Hold It Down is a 110 BPM dance floor glider, laying a slick bass line down for bright synth chords for bounce over before a slick breakdown. Something In Me is a 120BPM dance floor fire starter, jumping out with a hard-hitting baseline and drum arrangement intro before laying down crispy tiptop synth chords and a masterful solo and breakdown. Title track Stardust delivers what everybody would expect from a collaboration like this, a 110BPM bass heavy boulevard funk anthem that will have the dance floor leaning side to side with a sophisticated gangster lean! Trippin’ is a 115BPM lovers groove with deep and sophisticated chord arrangements wrapped in thick synth bass lines uplifting dance floors with a cosmic love boogie bounce, closing out this collaboration with a sonic baptism carving out new directions in modernfunk

Long overdue reissue (500 copies initial press) with rock city pioneer Billy Jones.. here's what he had to say about his crew.In the early 80's Billy Jones was the lead guitarist for an outstanding group of touring musicians who called themselves 'The Incredible Rock City Band'. They performed on military installations all over the United States for the U.S. Dept. of MWR for more than ten years during the 80's and 90's. ...I'm sure that there are many veterans out there who remember seeing this band at NCO and Officer's clubs back in the day.
