Phil Adé - Hollywood
Artist: Phil Adé
Producer: Mark Henry [for 368 Music Group]
Album: Starting on JV
Label: 368 Music Group
I live in L.A. so I always find it a little amusing when out-of-towners talk about the riches of Hollywood (sorry to break it to you, but the neighborhood’s far more dirty and cheap than glamorous). Still, there’s no better insult to throw at someone who’s traded in their roots for fame than that they’ve “gone Hollywood,” a fate DMV-local Phil Adé is determined to avoid on his new single. It’s been a while since we last heard from Ade on Gimme Dat, but Hollywood proves it’s been well worth the wait. On the production tip Mark Henry serves up a lush and soulful beat, while Ade kills the lyrical side of the equation with clever lines like: “Continuin’ the mean flow, beatin beats until they need a stitch like Lilo.” Hey, anytime you can work in a Disney reference you gotta do it. You can hear more from Phil Ade on his Starting on Varsity mixtape, out now, and on his upcoming DJBooth freestyle. Keep it locked for all the latest.

Phil has the same DMV swagger as Wale... and I am a huge Wale fan. Just like his first feature, Gimme Dat, Phil takes control of the record and flows perfectly over the lively production. Nice story here!

Phil Ade is one of the next up and coming MCs in the DMV along with Muggsy Malone , Ra and Lyriciss. He got Raheem Devaugn behind him and hes cool.

I like this! Good chorus and story. Good Lyrics. I agree with Z that the swagger is very Wale-Like. Which is a good thing here. I would just give it a rotation rating on lyrics alone, but this Beat REALLY KNOCKS. Really nice production work. BANGER!

Damn! I'm loving his flow and the strong rhymes make this song only better. Mark Henry provides a soulful mellow mood, and, fittingly, Phil comes with slightly less intensity than his previous feature but still gets the job done with some deft lyrical wordplay. BANGER!!!

I've been up on Phil Ade for a little wile. Dude has been ill. This was the first record that caught my attention. I loved the production on this and Phil's flow was refreshing.

You really need to slow down the track and listen to the punchlines here, they're absolutely sick. Definitely a Phil Ade fan.

i can hear the wale connection, but it lacks that unique tone so at times it could easily be mistaken wale track. The production by mark henry is nice.
