Brian James (FKA Wing) is the Compton native who last year dropped the long awaited follow up to his 2008 Eat Or Be Eaten and 2009 Eat Or Be Eaten Vol. 2.
Life On Mute was released on Dubcnn in conjunction with Soul Vintage in December 2011 having spent the months leading up to the project dropping media including Listen produced by Malcolm Harvest along with its music video, the DJ Ophax produced record Above It All, the single Tried featuring Art Barz and Lou Urias – and its music video – and finally If I Could featuring Ghost and produced by Chris Reed.
In March he was back on Dubcnn being interviewed in Episode 43 (03/09/11) of Dubcnn Radio and weeks later dropped the ArtBarz directed Growing Pains music video followed by one for Good Heart with Quiz of Blu Division, Pawzone of IzrlRecords and Alesha Ashley.
Today we return with news that on August 14, 2012 the Compton, CA native and Soul Vintage artist Brian James will return with a brand new album entitled “Freedom Summer” – a record inspired by the 1964 campaign of the same name that attempted to increase voter registration within the African American community in a time when African Americans were excluded.
“Get Up” is the first release from the LP and is a track that aims to inspire the urban community to take action by understanding that they are the drivers of their own destiny. Producer Chris Reed of Soul Vintage creates the instrumentation that mirrors the in-depth lyrics of Brian James – creating a powerful and uplifting record – listen below!
