When I first heard “Toast to Life” back in November of 2010 I just KNEW I wanted to catch up with this budding talent and get him on the blog to share with the nation (and beyond) how dope this guy is. With a little determination and a huge thanks to Anwaa over at Elite DC Mag, I got that interview for you guys!

July 19th, Phil Adé dropped his fourth mixtape “A Different World,” on the 368 Music Group label and sponsored by 2DopeBoyz. Adé says this mixtape is different from the previous one’s because he has attempted to stray away from his classic 90’s hip-hop sound and wanted to present his following with a more contemporary take on the genre.

The project feature’s a host of collaborative efforts. Production from 9th Wonder, Bink!, Oddisee, Sunny Norway and Mark Henry. #ADW also features acts like label-mate Raheem Devaughn, DMV music family Black Cobain of The Board Administration, U-N-I straight out of LA.
