Breez Evahflowin "Breez Deez Treez"

Domination Recordings is pleased to announce the release of Breez Evahflowin's "Breez Deez Treez," an album about adjusting to extreme life changes and personal struggles familiar to many of us.

Taking a hiatus from NYC, Breez is forced to uproot himself from his only known home in New York to reposition himself in the woods of Asheville, North Carolina.

Through a steady stream of beats from NYC producer Dave "Daveytree" Archuletta via internet, he is encouraged to thoroughly explore his innermost thoughts free of distraction and competition.

It is also through these beats that he deals with the diagnosis of his mother's cancer and passing, which ultimately brings him back to NYC.

The resulting album - 3 years in the making - is a collection of songs about change, personal growth and the state of the music industry.

Listeners will find no boastful raps about bling or the glories of thug life; rather, Breez delivers thought-provoking songs dealing with life's challenges and his struggle to maintain growth as an artist in a music industry dominated by materialism and gimmickry.

A combination of pain, anger, loss, triumph, despair, fortitude and hope, delivered just as the nation and the world adjust to the extreme changes that have been predicted to come,

Featuring guest appearances by Harlem's Swave Sevah (The Source Magazine "Best Unsigned Hype" 2008), underground favorites Ike P, Dojah, Symphonic, and introducing veteran Bill T. Jones performer Shaneeka Harrell on vocals in her hip-hop debut, get your copy of "Breez Deez Treez" today!

Breez Evahflowin' - Breez Deez Treez
Friday, August 14, 2009 | Author: Kathy Iandoli
Rating: XXXX of 5

Throughout the tenure of his career, Breez Evahflowin has been known as the pensive emcee. His allegiance to Hip Hop collective Stronghold (Poison Pen, C-Rayz Walz [click to read], Immortal Technique [click to read] and DJ Static) propelled them all to middle management stardom, several steps above their peers in the crowded albeit gritty New York City underground. While nods from MTV could have led to Breez altering his flow to swim the mainstream, he remains the thoughtful storyteller as he delivers his Breez Deez Treez.

The album maintains Breez’s thematic means of offering peeks into the mind of the man, not the mic-controller. However, this time around the intensity is turned up several notches, and the result is a brilliant audio memoir. That’s not to say that the entire work is pockets full of poignancy, but it’s more of an “If you don’t know, now you know” for those who really don’t. Breez opens with “Background Music”, a journey into the life of a man who thinks he’s smoked it all away, "I couldn’t see the signs my mind was into pot / I smoked away the best damn days that I got." A lot of Breez Deez Treez leans on Breez questioning his success and weighing the reasons why he hasn’t reached the proverbial next level. Skills are no question, as “I Know” examines his undeniable lyricism fueled by a love of the craft, carrying into the self-explanatory “Luck vs. Skill” with Swave Sevah and Ike P. “Dot Dot Dot” shifts gears, as a graphic tale of witnessing a mother’s murder through the eyes of her child and how that story walks with her for her entire life.

A handful of tracks, including “Let ‘Em Know”, “When You Fall”, and “Rope” serve as fillers with Breez’s strong lyrical growl. However, the heart of Breez Deez Treez lies in two specific tracks – “Moms,” a heartfelt ode to one of the most important women in his life who died of cancer, as he spends the track cursing the disease but pushing through to make his mother proud. The second, “I Failed” finds Breez the most open, dissecting his solo career and that of his Stronghold kinfolk, blaming himself for not achieving the success he envisioned for them.

Breez Evahflowin undoubtedly moved through many mindstates as he penned Breez Deez Treez. Having the gumption to put it out there is what makes this album remarkable. It’s not everyday that a rapper can wear his heartbreak on his lapel, completely absent of 808s. While Breez may still be wondering if the world truly appreciates him, putting those questions to music is perhaps his most powerful answer.

Sampler sounds good, gotta order this.

"Breez Deez Treez"
(Domination)

Breez says: "To me, this album is what hip hop sounds like if it was allowed to grow up. It's life documented in a lyrical artform that uses more lyrics than anything short of a full-blown opera."

We say: Conceived while Breez was holed up down in the woods of North Carolina, this is 12 tracks of melancholy hip hop musings, with New York producer Dave Archuletta's beats appropriately employing violins ('Within Me') and minor-key piano chords ('I Failed') to add to the moody brooding. Thoughtful hip-hop done the right way.

Album Review: Breez Evahflowin – Breez Deez Treez (2009)
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Potholes

What’s to say about Breez Evahflowin that hasn’t been said? The mainstay of MTV when Direct Effect was in existence, he has made himself a constant household name with his sharp wit and effervescent rhymes that have had the many heads in awe. On his fifth album Breez Deez Treez, Breez is a tad more on the personal and storytelling side, putting aside the battle tested lyrics that emerged for a more mature sound.

The lyrical context has its benefits. Folks may think its a tad on the bland side, that it doesn’t have the same vibrancy and energy that we’re used to hearing from Breez. The once energetic tone he used is much more subdued and reflective, starting with the track “Background Music”. It’s good for Breez to be serious for once, especially on the heartfelt ode “Moms”, the downtrodden odes of “I Failed” and “When You Fall”, as well as the very detailed stories exuded on “Dot Dot Dot”. These several songs seem like Breez has undergone a ton of personal reflection and hardship, and for him to be personal like this is a daunting task. But he is able to pull it off due to his blunt way of delivering lyrics.

Not one to leave out who he is as far as being a battle tested rapper and utilizing his skill which originally made us fans in the first place, he provides this in several areas. “Luck Vs. Skill” re-establishes his nature. And “Let ‘Em Know”, while being reflective, at the same time is very much well punctuated in its lyrics. The only issue with this is while the lyrical effort is there, it is the fault of the production for not maintaining a similar energy. The production proves to be bland when Breez just starts to be energetic in delivery, though the beats are well done for the emcee’s more reflective tracks.

Breez Deez Treez is an interesting project at its core. Its main issue proves to be its consistency on the production side, though it still shows that Breez has the skill and the wit to be a great rapper. Also, his shedding of a lot of his trials and tribulations proves to be very effective. Maybe we’re seeing the shedding of a different Breez Evahflowin here.
