[Video] Psalm One: "A New Phaze" (Feat. The Hood Internet, Tanya Morgan and Fluffy)
Last week, Psalm One, aka 'Hologram Kizzie' dropped her album, Hug Life via Bandcamp and iTunes. This week, on the heels of a solid first week of sales for the largely independent artist out of Chicago, Psalm offers up the first video for the project for "A New Phaze" which has production from electronically-inclined production team The Hood Internet, as well as Cleveland hip-hop collective Tanya Morgan and right-hand woman Fluffy who all join her on the eclectically-fun track that sets the tone for the rest of what is to come from the project that firmly straddles several different genres and sounds that come together to provide a sampling of styles and endeavors that are hot right now. The video balances the different flavors on the project with what is largely a traditional hip-hop video that allows Psalm to take creative risks while staying rooted in the art-form that has brought her to prominence, while also touching on her community service and outreach endeavors. Psalm has always been at the forefront of what is happening in the middle of the map, evidenced by her firm link with the Minnesota-based DoomTree collective and Tanya Morgan feature here, and this video is a furtherance of that sentiment. Check out the video, streaming below.

Psalm One: "A New Phaze"
Psalm One is currently running around America while on tour, but found some time to cut a new track for fans amidst all the craziness the road can bring. For "A New Phaze" Psalm reached out to production team The Hood Internet, who have been making more and more of a foray into hip-hop production out of Chicago, as well as Brooklyn-based Tanya Morgan and frequent collaborator and tour-mate Fluff Nasty. The song talk about the impact of music on the brain, bringing up an interesting conversation about the responsibility of artists to their musical content. Psalm One is deep, never shallow and "A New Phaze" will get you out of your seat while making your mind wander.
