G. Love Drops “Love From Philly” Off Forthcoming ‘Philadelphia Mississippi’ [Watch]

76

Philadelphia alternative blues/hip-hop artist G. Love has dropped a video for his new single “Love From Philly” featuring Schoolly D, Chuck Treece, and Trenton Ayers. He has also announced that his new album, Philadelphia Mississippi, will drop on June 24th via Philadelphonic Records/Thirty Tigers.

Produced by North Mississippi All-StarsLuther Dickinson, whose father Jim Dickinson produced G. Love’s sophomore album Coast to Coast Motel, the G. Love & Special Sauce frontman’s latest work bridges both sides of his dual background, mixing old school hill country and Delta blues with the new school hip-hop and funk of his native Philly.

“I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but I’ve spent my entire life steeped in the music of the Delta,” G.Love explained, “so the idea that there was this whole other Philadelphia down there always fascinated me. For the last 30 years, I’ve wanted to make a pilgrimage—not just a musical one, but a spiritual one—to the heart of the blues, and that’s exactly what this album is.”

The 13 songs on Philadelphia Mississippi were created spontaneously in the studio in Mississippi. They feature guest appearances by a wide range of talent, including blues torchbearers Alvin Youngblood Hart, Cam Kimbrough, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jontavious Willis, R.L. Boyce and Trenton Ayers, rap icons Schoolly D, Freddie Foxx, and Speech from Arrested Development, and other ace musicians such as fifemaster Sharde Thomas and Grammy-nominated Southern Avenue drummer/singer Tikyra Jackson.

The album’s first single, “Love From Philly”, “was originally written for the Love From Philly benefit, which benefitted struggling artists during the pandemic,” explained G. Love. “As the year progressed it became a live staple. Later on, I tapped Chuck Treece and legendary Philadelphia hip-hop artist Schoolly D to contribute verses turning a live jam into an iconic Philly Classic. Along with Mississippi son Trenton Ayers’s melt-your-face lead guitar and BGVs from Memphis based Tikyra Jackson, ‘Love From Philly’ is a hip hop-blues instant hit.”

Philadelphia Mississippi is currently available for preorder and will be out June 24th via Philadelphonic Records/Thirty Tigers. Watch the video for “Love From Philly” and view the tracklist for the album below.
