Okayplayer Exclusive: Philly Artist Matt Ford Debuts The 'Dwelling' EP [Stream]
Philly's own Matt Ford debuts the highly-anticipated 11-track Dwelling EP, which follows the recent release of the video for his lead single "$hade" - a contemplative heater produced by Rashad Ridgell. The profound statement of a project is a confessional crowned by Ford's eerily relaxed delivery and gorgeous production that plays at a consistently slow burn. The ominous 11-track project is packed with standouts and a cinematic flair that will undoubtedly induce the listener to play it through without interruption. Matt Ford describes the project as a "self-reflective piece" that he hopes will unlock his suppressed potential through the "confrontation of personal demons." Ford tacks two stunning bonus tracks onto the original nine joints, delivering an expertly crafted collection that showcases not only his lyrical skill but his astute ear for beats. Check the tracks below to get your first taste of the Dwelling EP. Scroll down to download the project. Catch the OG rocking live with DJ Sylo at the Dwelling release party on Thursday, April 17th at the 700 Club in Philadelphia, PA. Stay tuned for more from Matt Ford.
