In Anticipation Of April 7th Release Date |

The
Mix:
When Detroit rapper Finale titled his debut album A
Pipe Dream And A Promise,
it was to represent the personal struggle and perseverance that comes along
with quitting your full-time job, foregoing a steady paycheck, and putting
everything you have into making it as an artist. On April 7, the promise
of that pipe dream will finally be realized with the album's official release
via Interdependent Media. And now, weeks before the official release date,
Finale and Interdependent Media have teamed up with Bay Area DJ King
Most to give fans a chance to sneak-peak the album themselves. More than just
an album sampler, the 15 track Mega-Mix features DJ King-Most's personal
touch throughout, cutting from track to track, giving listeners just enough
to want more.
Having already received high acclaim, the album features production
from fellow Detroit natives J Dilla and Black Milk, as well as Nottz,
Flying Lotus, Oddisee, and more. Finale has already received attention for the recent
release of Super Finale, a Super Mario Bros-themed video game, starring Finale
as the main character, and for the release of his first single, "Motor
Music," produced by Black Milk.
SXSW update:
FInale will be performing with fellow Detroit native Invincible at
SXSW this Saturday at Back Alley Social at 11:40pm.

The
Background:
Before
making his entrance into hip-hop, Finale worked as an automotive engineer promising
to one day follow his dream of becoming a rapper. Making the rounds at local
Detroit open mics and emcee battles, Finale began to mingle with local talents
like Guilty Simpson and One.Be.Lo. After emailing some joints back and forth
with J Dilla, Finale finally met him backstage at the DEMF (Detroit Electronic
Music Festival), where Dilla introduced him to Madlib, saying that he was one
of the best in the game. “It was an honor and definitely a defining moment," says
Finale. After realizing his passion and talent for hip-hop, Finale decided
to finally quit his day job, follow his true passion, and make music a full-time
career. After a handful of Fat Beats released singles, an album released with
European producer Spier 1200 as a part of The Rawkus 50, and numerous appearances
on independent releases from Invincible, eLZhi and
others, Finale's official debut LP, A Pipe Dream & A Promise, will be released in stores and online
on Aptil 7th via Interdependent Media.
