专辑简介
Philly-bred, San Francisco-located producer Yameen makes his
Ropeadope Records debut with his new album, Never Knows
Best. Drawing on past experience working with artists like
Goapele, Shing02, and a pre-Hollertronix DJ Low Budget,
Yameen corralled an impressive list of collaborators,
including Lady Alma (4hero, Black Lily), the legendary Shock
G (Digital Underground), Azeem (OM Records), Georgia Anne
Muldrow (Stones Throw), Casual (Hieroglyphics), DJ Icewater
(Pharcyde, Quannum) and Maylay Sparks (!K7). As a teenager
(and known as Stinke), Yameen was the Webmaster for the
Hieroglyphics.com site and essentially wrote the blueprint
for indie hip-hop on the Web, garnering praise as one of URB
magazine's Next 100. His music production debut came under
the moniker SupremeEx with Tajai of Souls of Mischief,
garnering hefty critical praise for its high quality and
integration of multimedia to enhance the music's concept.
Now - under his given name Yameen - he has further matured
as an artist and producer, moving away from the highly
conceptual work of the past and focusing more on creating
great music with an impressive roster of guest stars. The
end result is a more direct, focused album drawn from the
give-and-take of artists trying to bring the best out of
each other.
