In case you missed it, GRAMMY-nominated alternative blues/hip-hop artist G. Love has released his new single “Mississippi” from his upcoming album Philadelphia Mississippi, set to be released June 24 via Philadelphonic Records/Thirty Tigers.

The new track tastefully fuses hill country, Delta blues, a bit of hip-hop, and four voices together to reflect on Mississippi life.

Shares G. Love, “It’s the quintessential hip-hop blues track with a greasy lowdown groove laid down by Philly legend Chuck Treece, Alvin Youngblood Hart and producer Luther Dickinson, with epic vocal performances by Speech of Arrested Development, hill country blues master R.L. Boyce, Alvin and myself. Each lyricist tackles their own personal feelings and emotions on the history of Mississippi and the blues it gave birth to, with Boyce crying throughout… ‘Po Po Mississippi.'”

The spontaneous 13-track Philadelphia Mississippi was produced by North Mississippi All-Stars’ Luther Dickinson (son of Jim Dickinson who produced G. Love’s sophomore album Coast to Coast Motel). The album also features such commanding performers as Cam Kimbrough, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Jontavious Willis, and Trenton Ayers, rap icons Schoolly D, Freddie Foxx, Sharde Thomas, and Southern Avenue drummer/singer Tikyra Jackson.

“I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but I’ve spent my entire life steeped in the music of the Delta,” he explains, “so the idea that there was this whole other Philadelphia down there always fascinated me. For the last thirty 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.”
