Phonte is back in action with a brand new project. Although short, the rapper gave fans a surprise drop with his latest EP, Pacific Time. He's revered as a potent lyricist but on this project, he falls back on the rapping a bit for a more soulful, R&B sound. The four-track project serves as his follow-up to 2018's No News Is Good News which included appearances from Freddie Gibbs and Eric Roberson.
Although four tracks, it has a few more collaborators that his last album. Kaytranada, BOSCO and Devin Morrison are credited as features while the production credits include Kay, Morrison, Like, Swarvy, Julia Lewis, TK Kayembe and Phonte as well.
Peep Phonte's latest project below.
