Transformations / Illuminations [HipHop / Rap]
| |
In 1994, Mumbles aka Matthew Fowler met Aceyalone through an A&R of Grand Royal Records, and together they recorded three tracks, two of which appeared on Acey's first solo release "All Balls Don't Bounce" on Capitol Records. In 1997, two of Mumbles' tracks appeared on Ubiquity's release "Audio Alchemy" and in the same year, a song was chosen for the OM Records compilation "Deep Concentration". In 1998, Aceyalone and Mumbles then decided to collaborate on a full length album together, "A Book of Human Language", which has since been widely acclaimed as an underground hip hop classic.
Nearly a decade after their initial collaboration, Mumbles and Aceyalone re-unite to bring the power to the people!
The upcoming full-length titled "Transformations/Illuminations", is eagerly expected by hip hop fans. Filled with lush arrangements, solid production, and the classic boom bap, Mumbles delivers a future classic that will set new standards in hip hop. Additional album features include Cut Chemist, The Fowler Brothers, DJ Marvski, Flora Purim, Blu, Tracy Mc Millan, Kamau Daaood, Luther Russell, Rebecca Klinemann, and Shanti Shivani.
Old school fans and newbies alike, everyone abound is likely to say: "Welcome back Mumbles, welcome back!"
