Dwele - What Profit (Remix)
Artist: Dwele
Producer: Mike City
Album: Greater Than One
Label: RT Music Group/EOne Music
What happens when a Trinidadian emcee links up with a producer from the South Jersey/Philadelphia area and an ill, ill singer from Detroit Michigan. Well, you get the blissfully mellow, headphone-ready record that is Dwele‘s latest feature. This newly-released single (a remixed version of a cut originally featured back in May) finds the indie crooner coming together with emcee Phife Dawg and beatsmith Mike City to pose a rhetorical question paraphrased loosely—and I do mean loosely—from the oft-quoted 26th verse of the 16th Chapter of the Book of Matthew: “What Profit a man to gain all the wide world, and lose his girl?” Director Darren Brown provides an official video as laid-back, real, and psychologically nuanced as the record itself. For more, including recently-featured jam What You Gotta Do, on Greater Than One, set to drop this coming Tuesday (August 28).

I thought I would love this, especially coming on the heels of Dwele's new song release with Raheem, but I did not. Its not great, its not bad, it ... just is? Phife was one of my favorite emcees 14 years ago, but now he just sounds average at best.

I like Phife, but his flow sounds really dated.
