After Elbee Thrie revealed the secrets to Phony Ppl on DJ Semtex's BBC 1xtra show, and promised a solo project, it was only a matter of time before fans of the Brooklyn soul collective Phony Ppl could hear a personal taste of the frontrunner and co-founder himself.
Elbee's project is called 53,000., and it's got a groove that you can feel in your toes. It's of course soulful, with slick lyrics and singing on love and relationships, and appearances from other Phony Ppl members Dyme-A-Duzin ("Yesterday's Lips") and Sheriff PJ ("FA Collab").
This tape dropped at 5:30 PM EST on 5/30/13, but it's good for a weekend listen. Let this hold you off until their next Phony Ppl album drop, which they are working on right now. Until then, catch them at their monthly summer residence at Brooklyn Bowl next date up being Wed, 6/5(this date has been cancelled).--GB
