Phranchyze - Dolo

phran cover copy.jpg

Austin's Phranchyze is one of the underground's most interesting rappers.

A towering, lanky battler, it's been an uphill climb for a dude known to humiliate posturing wannabes in battles so lopsided they inspired animated tributes. Unfortunately, the rap battle peaked in popularity posthumously in 2002 (it's a '90s thing) and the stigma is tough to shake: battle cats don't write hot songs.

On 2009's long-delayed, proper LP, Errybody Hates Me, Phran offered up playful bars and sneaker pimp jams to generally favorable critical reception. A year's worth of small scale tours and big opening slots on most of the relevant road shows (Clipse, Dead Prez, etc.), Phranchyze returns with his best solo effort to date.

The Black Larry Bird has his biggest hooks, best recorded stanzas and best production. The LP drops during SXSW (more on that Monday) and check out the tracklist after the jump and an exclusive mp3 below. I'm saying, fresh stuff.
