 M-Phazes - Good Gracious (Obese) 

M-Phazes - Good Gracious (Obese)

IF you love your Aussie hip-hop, chances are you’ve been digging M-Phazes beats for a while.

The in-demand Melbourne-based producer has worked with the likes of Illy, Spit Syndicate, Drapht and Bliss N Eso’s past two releases including the ARIA-winning Flying Colours.

For his solo debut, M-Phazes calls on some return favours from the aforementioned artists as well as Muph & Plutonic, Phrase, Pegz and Nfa.

Thus Good Gracious is aptly-named and a banger to boot.

With his electic musical arsenal on full display, joints with Drapht (Where’s Elvis) and 360 & Pez (The Club Song) are easily pencilled in as highlights.

The distorted club jam Music Box, with Phrase, is also irresistable, Pegz is a beast on Blind Man and Eso comes up with the lyrics of the year — Chris Brown-related and not fit for print — on Walk On Clouds.

RATING: ★★★★

IN SHORT: All-star

Personally, I think M phazes has drawn away too much from what was his special ability: to create that dirty Boom Bap sound only he can produce. Nevertheless the beats on this album are on a very high level, they sound more than good for the era we live in but it's not that good old M Phazes banger anymore. Too bad, I just hoped it was more like the sound he had on Supastitions Chain Letters album. Peace, a big fan from the Netherlands
