The
Song:
If you're still trying to beat Interdependent Media's game
Super
Finale,
then here's extra incentive for you to exercise those thumbs and try harder.
For his new album, A Pipe Dream and A Promise (out
April 7th), Finale teamed up with Hieroglyphics emcee, Casual for "One
Man Show" (A Rival 8 Bit
Remix), available as a free download when you beat the Super Finale
game (and from this email if you're lazy!). It's a Bach "Invention" meets
synthesizer in this remix, as the independent melodies intersect to create a
futuristic sound reminiscent of 80's babies video games. The distinct music,
however, does not take away from Casual's rhyme, Black
Milk's production,
nor Finale's solid voice that declares "I'm a giant that sit at your doors
/ ask around I beat up a track."

Finale recently released Super Finale, an innovative,
Super Mario Bros-themed video game, starring Finale as the main character,
in which fans can win track the track "One Man Show" from
the album upon completion of the game. A Pipe Dream And A Promise features
production from J Dilla as well as Nottz, Flying
Lotus, Oddisee, MPhazes, and Black Milk, who produced the
album's lead single "Motor Music."

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.
