Philmore Greene Chicago: A Third World City

2019 kicked off with much success for the lead off member from the Gold Standard Collective out of Chicago. We present Philmore Greene, hailing from the west side of Chicago, K-Town to be exact, with his debut album highlighting the often overlooked side of the grit and turmoil of city life. If you’ve never been to The Windy City this album will sonically take you on a ride. Rashid Hadee’s super soulful production is the compass, and Philmore Greene’s voice, wordplay, and his next level flow is that map that guides you through the city. It’s very seldom you hear concept album these days, but this album give you the nostalgic feeling of when you had to experience actually living with the music. A true storybook album front to back. Though this music is far from dated, everything from the artwork, to the rollout of the album makes you feel as if it was 1994 all over again! On songs such as “Something Outta Nothing” Philmore Greene paints a vivid picture of being determined about turning a negative into a positive while weaving in and out of the kick & stare Rashid Hadee’s laid as the foundation. This album will not disappoint the true lovers of hip hop. For those seeking that 100% raw no filler….this is it.



Produced, mixed, and mastered by Rashid Hadee
