Philly Moves – Olga [album]
Hailing from the Nation’s Capital and now based in Toronto, Canada, Philly Moves is an independent MC/Producer hip-hop duo. One of the country’s top emerging acts, they have performed almost 200 times across North America, sharing the stage with both emerging and established acts from both sides of the border.
Using both sample based and original production methods, producer Rockwell crafts complex soundscapes that straddle the line between organic and experimental perfectly, providing a rich canvas for MC Tragic’s compelling songwriting and charismatic flow. Live, their set is high energy and heavy on intimacy; Rockwell switching back and forth seamlessly from live beat making on the MPC to playing acoustic guitar and crooning while Tragic controls the crowd with a commanding stage presence. Truly a collaborative effort, Philly Moves distinctive style combines the tastes and experiences of both men, their personal and artistic chemistry evident both on stage and on wax.
Philly Moves has spent almost a full year working on an entirely new project. “Olga”, a more mature look and sound for the pair, is available now through URBNET both digitally and on vinyl. Look out for them coming through your city this fall and stay tuned for their next music video.
