Next In February...

Silhouette Brown

To many, the imminent release of Silhouette Brown's new album,Two, will mean absolutely nothing. However, to those who bought Silhouette Brown's début album five years ago, this is a huge deal. It was a cult hit that spawned such broken beat classics asWhose In Charge and Spread That. Silhouette Brown is Dennis "Dego" McFarlane (one half of4hero), Kaidi Tatham (half of 2000 Black) and Bêmbè Sêguè, long-time Mark de Clive-Lowecollaborator.



From that line-up you can guess the sound of Two. Guest appearances include singer Lady Alma (of Hold It Down fame) and rapper Sadat X from Brand Nubian. Two is scheduled for release in February, 2010
