Interesting side fact: I’ve been a fan of M-Phazes‘ production since the mid-naughts, producing for artists like Kenn Starr and Supastition, so color me surprised when I found out he’d had worked closely on pop/R&B artist Kimbra‘s The Golden Echo, alongside another well-known name: Thundercat.

The underrated Australian producer, along with fellow Aussie singer Tkay Maidza recently connected with Milwaukee’s IshDARR for a mid-tempo burner called “Don’t Even Know Me.”
Over the course of 3 1/2 minutes, IshDARR references everything from his 2015 LP Old Soul, Young Spirit to Kodak Black while invoking the old adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
