Audible Treats Audio Stream: Phat Kat "Nasty Ain't It?"

05.24.2007

(Brooklyn, NY May 24, 2007)

The Song:

"Nasty Ain't It?" is the opening track of Phat Kat's new album Carte Blanche. Producer J Dilla (R.I.P.) sets it off with a down 'n' dirty, futuristic funk groove, over which Phat Kat spits, "real talk, shed light on you when it's still dark/ ride the brand-new wheels off while you still walk." Dilla and Phat have been putting it down together since the early 90s and on "Nasty Ain't It?" their chemistry is more live than ever.  The track has been noted by many publications as one of the highlights of his lauded recent release, Carte Blanche.

The Background:

Phat Kat, also known as Ronnie Cash, has been a longtime well respected veteran of the Detroit scene.  As far back as his days with Dilla in First Down, Kat has been a fixture in one of the nation's most vibrant and unique cities for hip-hop. Though the success of the group would be stalled due to the collapse of their label Payday Records, their influence on hip-hop music brought Detroit into the spotlight.  This association with his hometown comes through in his music – all of the guest artists on his album as well as the tour call the Motor City home.  Now, three years after the release of his solo debut Undeniable, Phat Kat is ready to take his music to the streets of America with his new album Carte Blanche and coinciding tour.
