anti-lilly & phoniks: that's the world
Francisco Espregueira
A constant work-in-progress, Anti-Lilly’s personal experiences are reflected on his lyrics, perfectly complemented by one of the smoothest producers in the hip hop game right now, Phoniks. That’s The World is the duo’s third installment, following 2014’s Stories From The Brass Section and 2017's It's Nice Outside. After going from exchanging beats over email in 2014 to now touring the world together, the chemistry between the two has never been more evident than on their new project.
Laying his therapy sessions on record, speaking on his substance abuse, trust issues, relationships and coping with his parents divorce, Anti-Lilly embraces the duality of life - taking the good with the bad and trying to find a ray of light in dark times. All of that free-flows over Phoniks jazzy productions as he showcases his mature, honest perspective across 12 tracks, featuring a handful of brilliant collabs. Available on vinyl, That’s The World, released by Don’t Sleep Records, is another golden album of the underground hip hop hailing from the U.S. Another one from Anti-Lilly & Phoniks.
