Anti-Lilly & Phoniks US Hip Hop 3 Items

"That's The World" from Houston emcee Anti-Lilly and Portland, Maine producer Phoniks is the third installment of their hip-hop trilogy which featured 2014's "Stories From The Brass Section" and 2017's "It's Nice Outside". After going from exchanging beats over email in 2014 to now touring the world together the chemistry between the two has never been more evident than on their latest release.

Once again Anti-Lilly is laying his therapy sessions on record, speaking on his substance abuse, trust issues, relationships and coping with his parents divorce. But despite the negativity he touches on, the young Houston poet embraces the duality of life—taking the good with the bad and trying to find a ray of light in dark times. His outer pressures help craft the jewels he lays over Phoniks jazzy production as he showcases his mature, honest perspective across the albums 12 tracks.

For the first time on vinyl! Yes!

Over the past few years, Houston emcee Anti Lilly has
experienced a lot of hardships. Stretches of serious depression
combined with the monotony of a 9-to-5 lifestyle, temptations
from the streets and betrayal from a close friend forced him
into isolation. Using Phoniks jazzy soundscapes as a coping
mechanism, Anti paints a vivid picture of the struggles he’s
endured since we last heard from the duo on 2014’s “Stories
From The Brass Section”. The album’s 17 tracks are stitched
together with voicemail’s the young Houston rhyme-spitter
received from friends and family trying to reach him while he
was shut out from the world. Through it all, Anti emerges from
his experiences with a renewed optimism, letting the world
know “It’s Nice Outside” despite all the pain and suffering he’s
withstood.
