Brian James (FKA Wing) is the Compton native who has featured on Dubcnn regularly (check the archives) over the years, most noteably with his Eat Or Be Eaten mixtape in 2008 and then Eat Or Be Eaten Vol. 2 with production from Chris Reed aka Blacc, DJ Ophax, Malcolm Harvest and Brian James himself plus features with Quiz of Blu Division, Curtiss King, Ghrimm, Kraftie and Kace Moon. Earlier this year he re-emerged with the incredible Listen produced by Malcolm Harvest along with a music video that really captured a new fan base and quickly followed up with the DJ Ophax produced record Above It All which was said to be from his “Listen” project which was planned for this fall.
In our last update on Brian James last month we released the single Tried featuring Art Barz and Lou Urias announced that he had signed a deal with Soul Vintage Music and had plans to release an EP on November 29th called “Life On Mute” with “Listen” following in February 2012.
We return today only a few days from the planned “Life On Mute EP” release to let you know of a slight delay in the project dropping as Soul Vintage and Brian James are giving Dubcnn the honor of Co-Presenting the EP and will drop right here exclusively on December 6th.
“Life On Mute EP” features Alesha Ashley of Soul Vintage, Quiz of Blu Division, Lou Urias, Pawzone, ArtBarz, Lera Mega, Ghost and Keisha Nicole of B96.5 with production from Chris Reed, Hexsagon of the Vots, DJ Ophax, Malcolm Harvest and Brian James himself.
To tide you over until the release we have included another track from the EP, a soulful record titled “If I Could” featuring Ghost and produced by Chris Reed where Brian has aspirations of a better life away from the hood.
