Ill Adrenaline Records is excited to announce a brand new 7″” vinyl from critically acclaimed rapper Awon and UK producer Elements. The A side features “”Game Matters”” with head nodding soulful production highlighting Awon”s raw uncut rhymes, blended together with a catchy scratch hook. Track 2, “”Paper Off My Pager”” combines Elements upbeat jazz infused production with Awon”s vivid quick fire lyricism. Awon, “”The 90s were really grimy and rigid, it was a different thought process of survival, getting money happened to be a part of that. While it sounds celebratory, Paper off my Pager is really a reflection of bad decisions on top of bad decisions that led me to rap for a living. The celebration is that I survived.”” The B side features a golden age inspired Elements remix for “”Game Matters”” which shines a new light on Awon”s braggadocio flows and showcases razor sharp cuts over melancholic jazz piano and upright bass. Awon has racked up millions of streams and immense exposure as an independent artist, with a stellar catalogue of underground hip hop classics. He recently starred in “”Underdogs””, a documentary that chronicles his journey with Don”t Sleep Records, the label he founded with production partner Phoniks, winning best music documentary at DTLA film festival and streaming now on Netflix. Elements production placements have seen his music covered by tastemaker publications like Lyrical Lemonade, Afropunk, Billboard magazine and NPR music. The pair work together to create a unique sound on “”Game Matters”” and “”Paper off my Pager”” available for the first time on vinyl.
