Detroit underground legend and J Dilla favourite, Phat Kat, is reissuing his 2007 Carte Blanche album. Phat Kat said that the decision to reissue was made “because it was put out right before the internet blew up, so it never really got to a lot of listeners. And it was a really good project that slipped through the cracks”.
Along with the reissue, he has also dug up a previously unreleased track for us to savour. It Don’t Get No Liver Than This is produced by Dilla and features fellow Detroit MC, La Peace. Originally recorded in 1997, it is one of two Dilla-produced bonus tracks on the updated version, alongside World Premier. Continue reading “Phat Kat ft. La Peace: It Don’t Get No Liver Than This”

This is that Lootpack era goodness and if you don’t believe me, check out To Be Lost. The remastered LP is out now on Below System Records and is available from all the usual spots.
