Phillie “Paramount” Feat Boldy James Produced by Bronze Nazareth

“Welcome to the Detroit Zoo” isn’t just an album; it’s a raw, unapologetic expression of Phillie’s life journey through Detroit’s notorious ‘Number Streets.’ The hunger in Phillie’s delivery provides the album with a refreshingly honest feel, blending street poetry, profound lyricism, life lessons, and pure entertainment. In the midst of Detroit’s challenges, Phillie brings a unique perspective and a dash of humor, making his storytelling both relatable and impactful. Detroit’s urban struggle and inner city challenges are real.

Bronze Nazareth, a Wu Tang stalwart, takes the reins of production, crafting emotionally charged soundscapes that complement Phillie’s rhymes. “Welcome to the Detroit Zoo” offers a dual listening experience — you can immerse yourself in the music alone, letting the beats resonate, or you can delve into Phillie’s lyrics, embarking on a journey through the places and experiences he vividly paints.

“The hood is like a zoo, and I’m your tour guide, will you join me? All it costs is to pay a little attention to the lyrics. The beats by Bronze speak for themselves,” suggests Bronze Nazareth, inviting listeners to engage deeply with the multifaceted layers of Phillie’s narrative.
