Biggie Smalls – “Big Poppa” (Phoniks Remix) [audio]
The first new remix I’ve dropped in almost 7 months, released in celebration of my Wu-Tang “Back In The Game” remix hitting a million plays today. This jazzy, souled out re-work of Biggie’s first #1 single “Big Poppa” gets the Phoniks treatment with a smooth rhodes riff, filtered saxophone loop and crunchy boom baps.
Phoniks is a hip-hop producer from Portland, Maine known for his vintage-90’s boom bap production style and melodic jazz and soul samples. The 24-year old beatmaker has amassed 7 million+ plays over the past year and a half through exposure from his original work with emcee’s Awon, Dephlow, and Anti-Lilly and his series of popular remix tapes on Soundcloud. His work has been featured on websites such as Earmilk, 2DopeBoyz, The Word Is Bond, DJBooth.net, and The Source. Recently he has begun his own independent record label “Don’t Sleep Records” with partner Awon.
