Phene - I Want the World
Artist: Phene
Producer: Baron Boys
Album: God on a Greyhound
Label: High Off Life, LLC.
I know I say this on the regular, but damn, time flies! For example, it hardly feels like it’s been over a year since Phene made his Booth debut with Freedom Ain’t Free. Extended absence or no, the ATL/Central Pa.-repper’s hustle has continued unabated – after all, when you’re grinding towards global domination, you’ve gotta make every second count. Those curious about the motivations behind Phene’s grand ambitions can find some answers on new single Welcome to the World, an anthemic meditation on the artist’s journey to the top. Over the Baron Boys’ intrepid synth instrumental (complete with a silky chorus by rising R&B songstress Tenille), he explains that he’s after more than fame and fortune. Nice as the checks may be, they’re only a means of achieving his ultimate goal of putting the people he loves in a better place: “I want more for my fam and my friends, take ‘em out the street, show ‘em this ain’t where it ends.” Admirable? No doubt. As for whether Phene’s got what it takes to achieve global superstardom, I’ll let readers have the final say. Those digging this cut should keep it locked for details on the artist’s God on a Greyhound LP, coming soon.

Phene takes the inspiration angle with "I Want The World." I am not sure I've bought into what he trying to sell - partly because he sounds like he wants to party, not uplift - but its enough to intrigue for the future.

I don't understand where DJ Z is getting the "he sounds like he wants to party, not uplift". I just listened to that whole song again to see where I could find an instance of this and it sounds to me that the whole song is uplifting. I can tell you straight up that this is one of the realest men I know! He is a complete inspiration to his hometown and abroad! Keep up the good work P and you will go far!

The truth of the matter is a lot mainstream peolpe have the same problem wih Phene as DJ Z is he inspirtional/ underground, is is mainstream,part y "what lane is he in" And truthfully it just seems like he is making music not trying to fit a mold or a lane. When hip hop started it was about being an inspiration it was about the struggle, but that IS what we danced and partied to. I never really thought about it till today but in that sense Phene is a throwback artist. He's not trying to fit in a group just making good music that he wants to make and if we can party and be inspired by it, to me thats what music is about.

Revolutionary music. Either you feel it or you don't. In the end though, it's all truth with a very clear message. Promote Life through Awareness. Being uplifted IS a party........ In love with this track and can't wait for the entire album, God on a Greyhound, expected April 2011.
