Strong Arm Steady feat. Phonte - Best Of Times (Prod. by Madlib)

As the anticipation continues for the upcoming Strong Arm Steady & Madlib album In Search of Stoney Jackson, the folks at Stones Throw decided to let out yet another leak. On the album's intro "Best Of Times", the SAS crew flows over a smooth, laid back head-nodder from Madlib and features Little Brother's Phonte singing on the hook. In Search of Stoney Jackson drops next Tuesday, January 26th, and is produced entirely by Madlib, who is a longtime friend of Phil Da Agony and extended Strong Arm Steady family. The album’s conception owes a great deal to World Famous Beat Junkie, J.Rocc, who provided the trio with close to 200 of the Madlib the Beat Konducta’s tracks to choose from.

In Search of Stoney Jackson is produced entirely by Madlib, longtime friend of Phil Da Agony and extended Strong Arm Steady family. The album’s conception owes a great deal to World Famous Beat Junkie, J.Rocc, who provided the trio with close to 200 of the Madlib the Beat Konducta’s tracks to choose from. Strong Arm Steady had previously rapped over Madlib productions on the Madlib and Talib Kweli Liberation album, but this full-length marks a long-desired collaboration between the four. It’s a hip-hop jam session, with the group acting as the rhythm section for an all-star cast of guest vocalists such as Planet Asia, Guilty Simpson, Evidence, Chace Infinite, and Phonte of Little Brother.
