Project Pat Releases New LP – “Loud Pack”

381957 721 Project Pat Releases New LP   Loud PackArtist: Project Pat
Album: Loud Pack
Label: Hypnotize Minds Productions
Genre: Rap : Rap
UPC: 097037362423
Territory: World
Release Date: 7.19.11

From the charts to the clubs to radio to the Academy Awards, the hardcore sounds of the Memphis-based Hypnotize Minds imprint have moved up from the underground into the mainstream. That the Dirty South is finally getting widespread respect comes as no surprise to veteran Hypnotize Minds artist Project Pat. The brother of Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J and a full-fledged member of the Hypnotize Camp Posse, Project Pat has been making memorable contributions to hip-hop since the late 1990s.

The street is turf that Project Pat knows well. He came up hard, ran with a tough crowd, and learned lessons they don’t teach you in school. Though older and wiser now, with a rising income level and a platinum-selling solo album (2001′s Mista Don’t Play: Everthang’s Workin’) in his catalog, Pat’s stayed true to the spirit of hip-hop, the grit of the streets and his own spiritual core.

Project Pat brings his street perspective to new levels on his new album, Loud Pack. With Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J & DJ Paul as executive producers to add their signature sound to Pat’s brutally honest lyrics, Project Pat emerges as a street poet of the first order, speaking the truth and showing love and empathy for the souls of those locked in the grind trying to survive.

 Featured Artist: Amy LaVereThe stranger in popular culture has often been a signifier for isolation. Amy LaVere’s life since the release of her last album has seen the breakup with a long-term love relationship and musical collaborator, as well as the death of a musical mentor, which resulted in a longer gestation period for this, her third album. Under the circumstances, one could imagine the allure of emotional distance.

Or does she mean stranger, as in more idiosyncratic? By a purely musical definition, this album would certainly qualify. Always texturally rich and often employing dissonance and off-kilter instrumentation, it is her most exploratory work to date. Producer Craig Silvey, fresh from engineering Arcade Fire’s Grammy-winning album The Suburbs, proved a perfect choice in helping Amy materialize the music that was in her head. The resulting soundscape, at times haunting and at times exuberantly defiant, creates the perfect backdrop for her songs about frustration and feeling emotionally disconnected. Stranger Me is the next step in the exciting evolution of Amy LaVere- clearly more confident in her musical point of view, possessing more wisdom about what love is not and ready to embrace the ideal of the stranger, whatever its iteration.

Longtime fans have watched Rahsaan Patterson grow from the skinny, wide-eyed boy on the classic children’s show Kids Incorporated to one of the most influential soul men on the planet. During this colorful journey, Rahsaan has written songs for and collaborated with Brandy, Van Hunt, Ledisi and Lalah Hathaway—as well as releasing his own critically acclaimed albums and performing to loyal, ecstatic audiences worldwide.

All of that comes to glorious fruition on Bleuphoria, comprised of his trademark gorgeous ballads (Goodbye and Miss You), hypnotic mid-tempo tracks (Stay With Me, 6 AM and first single Easier Said Than Done), funk-drenched club grooves (Ghost featuring Jody Watley) and genre-defying studio experiments (Crazy [Baby] and Mountain Top). Rooted in the classic principles of melody and poetic lyrics while joyously embracing ‘80s R&B/Pop a la Prince and Michael Jackson, Bleuphoria is the sound of personal fears being conquered and artistic growth unfolding—beautifully.
