Today, the GRAMMY-nominated alternative blues/hip-hop artist G. Love announced his new album Philadelphia Mississippi will be released on June 24 via Philadelphonic Records/Thirty Tigers. The album was produced by North Mississippi All-Stars’ Luther Dickinson (son of Jim Dickinson who produced G. Love’s sophomore album Coast to Coast Motel) and bridges both sides of G. Love’s eclectic career, mixing old school Hill Country and Delta Blues with new school hip-hop and funk. Also released today is the official video for the album’s first single “Love From Philly” (feat. Schoolly D, Chuck Treece and Trenton Ayers).
The 13 songs that comprise Philadelphia Mississippi are loose, spontaneous and written on the fly in the studio during improvisatory fits of inspiration. The freewheeling performances bring together a slew of special guests from blues torchbearers like Alvin Youngblood Hart, Cam Kimbrough, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jontavious Willis, R.L. Boyce and Trenton Ayers, rap icons Schoolly D, Freddie Foxx and Speech from Arrested Development, to ace musicians such as fifemaster Sharde Thomas and GRAMMY-nominated Southern Avenue drummer/singer Tikyra Jackson.
