Tonight’s the night.  The Solution Showcase #11. yoursolution: Meet Neon Brown, our featured CO producer for The Solution Showcase #11 on 12/22 at the Meadowlark… Denver, meet Neon Brown, one eclectic dude and quite the producer/DJ.  I first learned about Neon when he threw a J Dilla tribute at the Beauty Bar last February, but it turns out he’d actually collaborated with both previous Solution Showcase feature Fast Forward and Solution co-founder Sounds Supreme years before we even started The Solution.  Since then he’s spent time in New York, where he linked up with Roots affiliate and Money Making Jam Boy Truck North, made his way back to Denver and since has moved out to the Bay Area.  In the mean time he managed to drop three projects in 2012 alone; Teenagers, It’s Spring Again & Child’s Play.  Check out all three projects on both his bandcamp & soundcloud pages and stay tuned “Riot Act”, the upcoming Neon Brown-produced single from Truck North featuring Homeboy Sandman, and a rumored collab with Donwill (of Tanya Morgan fame). – DJ Low Key Here’s more on the musical madness that is Neon Brown from his bio: “Neon Brown is a Musician/ Audio Engineer born and raised in Denver CO. He went to Audio Engineering school in New York and currently resides in Oakland CA. Over the past six years he has been working hard on his career as an Audio Engineer and Producer before then, not so hard working. He has produced for such artists as Mickey Theis and Truck North and plans to keep on with the keepin’ on. Neon has seven children out of wedlock and tends to provide for three of them even though this was not his previous plan. Neon likes sorbet, sunlight, two of his children and pizza. As a child he picked up the guitar and learned to play people. As an adult he has watched his one son to grow up into a funeral and there for will never have children again. As a wise old man he will throw lavish parties full of half naked women and seltzer where talking is optional. Space suits are his past time and when his life is over he hopes to accomplish hoop dreams. That is all. You’re welcome.” Now that you’re up on his music, don’t miss Neon Brown at The Solution Showcase #11 on Saturday, 12/22, along with Q-Tip/No I.D. protege Spree Wilson, Fresh Breath Committee’s Fo Chief and all three Solution DJs; DJ Low Key,Sounds Supreme & Lazy Eyez at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St).

Now that you’ve had a taste, here’s more info about Fo Chief’s upcoming debut album, Out The Deep End: Out The Deep End is the debut solo album from Fo Chief of Fresh Breath Committee and produced by Majestic Beats of Providence, Rhode Island. This lyrically impressive album has something for every music palette. Fo Chief shows that he can not only rhyme with the best of them, but can also nail the notes in each and every chorus on the album. The beats and production quality are outstanding. Majestic’s production skills match the soulful, darker overall vibe of the album seamlessly. This album is proof that it pays to cross state lines and engage with some of the best national talent.Out The Deep End comes on the heels of Chief’s mix tape “AirBag Jones – A Quick Fixtape.” Other previous projects include the Colorado classic mixtape “Cannonball Soup” with Kontrast of the Fresh Breath Committee, “Nothing Else Matters” with ProCYSE of Soulfficial and recent 2011 FBC release “Group Therapy”. Out The Deep End is the first Colorado collaboration project for both Fo Chief and Majestic Beats. Majestic Beats has produced for some of Rhode Island’s finest emcees including Swann Notty, Miles Grimes, Writes, & Shay Witty, not to mention production on the award winning track “Letras” from Portuguese rap legend Sandro G, which continues to break records in the Azores & Portugal.Although as an entity the Fresh Breath Committee has produced amazing content, it’s always very refreshing to see a group artist step away from the pack and shine on their own. This album also proves that Fo Chief has the support of his committee behind him, as each member of the group appears in several of the album’s tracks. The album also features several non committee and former committee artists as well, such as ChampSoundKillaBlack of Foodchain, Kerz One of Sound Pictures, Sloe Sip and Myke Charles.2012 has proved to be a prolific year for Fo Chief and 2013 should be even better. Look for a video set to be released early 2013 with production by Press Media Group and a second solo album from Fo Chief as well. Rumor has it that Cannonball Soup II is in the works. We can only hope.Out The Deep End will be released for free download on Friday, December 21st at www.fochief.bandcamp.com. Catch Fo Chief performing live at The Solution Saturday, December 21st.

This Saturday, 12/22.  No better place to be in Colorado for a hip hop fix. yoursolution: Meet Spree Wilson, our featured out of town act for The Solution Showcase #11 on 12/22… Denver, meet ATLien Spree Wilson.  We first heard of Spree a few years back when he dropped “Word!” with one of his mentors No I.D. (video below) because well, we’ll check out anything No I.D. produces based on his work with Common, Jay-Z and such, not to mention the mentoring of his most infamous protege, Kanye West.  It took me a minute to get used to Spree’s voice and No I.D.’s strangely electronic beat but it grew on me, just as I was hearing other work of his pop up on albums/mixtapes with Novel and DJ Deckstream and realizing the full on scope of dude’s talent.  From there we heard a few more solo joints, “Pick You Apart” and some leaks from his critically acclaimed The Never Ending Now project which became staples in DJ sets at The Solution and while Low Key DJed at Guess. Above: “Right One, Wrong Time”, one of our 2012 favorites.  /// Below: Very dope video for Spree Wilson feat Novel “King Sh*t (The Answer)”. Next thing I know I’m seeing Q-Tip shouting out Spree Wilson left and right, mentioning they’re working together some and talk of Spree linking up with the likes of Outkast producers extraordinaires Organized Noise and The Flush, as well as G.O.O.D. music.  Spree did in fact link up with Kanye and crew, with writing credits on the Cruel Summer album plus six more yet to be released songs (!!!!!), as well as getting some work on the upcoming Cee-Lo and Theophilus London projects.  Then just a few weeks back, Spree dropped the ATL-bass inspired super JAM, “Right One, Wrong Time”, that we can’t stop playing, making now a great time to have him out for The Solution Showcase. Above: Spree Wilson “Word!” (produced by No I.D.) /// Below: “Sin City”, John Legend, Travis Scott, Teyana Taylor, CyHi Da Prynce & Malik Yusef “Sin City”, co-written by Spree Wilson. So now that you’re up on Spree Wilson, we probably don’t need to remind you that Saturday, 12/22 is your monthly chance to see a top notch talent in an award-winning intimate venue before they blow up, right?  Catch Spree making his Denver debut, along with CO production legend Boonie Mayfield, Fresh Breath Committee’s Fo Chief, eclectic producer/DJ Neon Brown and all three Solution DJs; DJ Low Key, Sounds Supreme & Lazy Eyez for The Solution Showcase #11 on 12/22 at the Meadowlark (2701 Larimer St).

This Saturday, 12/22.  No better place to be in Colorado for a hip hop fix.
