De Facto Entertainment
De Facto Entertainment is proud to bring you the debut release from hip-­-hop duo Raw Product featuring UK legend Jehst. Consisting of emcee, Mista Flix, and producer, Stealf, Raw Product was born from the pair's unfaltering commitment to keep real rap alive. 'Choose Your Weapon' introduces you to the lyricism of Mista Flix, his clever wordplay and delivery, and the sample-­-based production from MPC heavyweight Stealf. This tried and tested combination, with three previous releases under their belt as artist and producer, was a no-­-brainer when it came to creating Raw Product. So when the chance came to work with YNR Productions chief, Jehst, it was another easy decision. The opening verse sees Mista Flix demonstrating his ability to set the scene and capture the listener before bringing in the hook that details some of the key elements in the Raw Product arsenal and opening the door for Jehst to drop a 2nd verse that will have even his die-­-hard fans wondering how he how does it. Add these displays of lyrical genius and integrity with a 3rd verse from Flix that perfectly finishes off the track and Stealf's organic sounds and hard hitting, gritty drums courtesy of his trusty MPC 60, and you've got a hip-­-hop track that truly encompasses the Raw Product name. The attention to detail doesn't just stop with the music. The artwork takes cues and inspiration from the lyrics, from the characters and colours used on the front of the sleeve, to the creative track listing on the reverse, the whole package is something any hip-­-hop head should have in the collection. Not only is this the debut single from Raw Product, but it's also the first release De Facto has released on wax. The limited edition 7" singles also come with an 8 page booklet showing the evolution and concept ideas of the artwork, lyrics and liner notes. Released on 31st August, and also available digitally from all major stores, 'Choose Your Weapon' is the perfect way to introduce Raw Product.
