Kev Brown - Albany



This is an oldie but a goodie, this is one of those joint I can never get over. Here's some info for those who don't know who Kev Brown is:


Kev Brown's soulful style of production has earned him comparisons to revered producers such as Pete Rock, who incidentally helped Brown's career gain some momentum after introducing him to Grap Luva. The pair then went on to collaborate on "What Ruling Means", from Marley Marl's BBE Beat Generation installment Re-Entry (2001). His appearance alongside Grap Luva left an impression on the underground and he subsequently contributed a track to De La Soul's AOI: Bionix later that year.



Kev Brown contributed to DJ Jazzy Jeff's The Magnificent (2002). As a then-member of Jazzy Jeff's production-for-hire unit A Touch Of Jazz, Brown contributed seven tracks to the project. His remix of Jay-Z's The Black Album, The Brown Album was released in January, 2004.

After numerous productions and collaborations with artists throughout 2003 and 2004, Brown made his solo debut in 2005 with I Do What I Do through the independent Up Above imprint. The single, "Life's A Gamble", followed in early 2006. Although there was talk of Brown releasing a follow-up EP called Random Joints, this release did not see the light of day. Brown remained quiet for most of 2007, returning in February 2008 with Selective Hearing: The Beat Tape, a full-length collaboration with rapper LMNO of The Visionaries. Brown is one of the producers working with New York rapper Busta Rhymes for B.O.M.B., the MC's eighth studio album. In August 2008, a track leaked on the internet called "Packin' Them Things" produced by Kev Brown, however there's no word on whether this track will appear on the album.
