I was scrolling through Discogs this evening and found a pleasant surprise: Fat Jon the Ample Soul Physician has just released a new album.
Fat Jon is best known as one-half of Five Deez, a Columbus, OH group that had a nice run in the early 00s. Since moving to Berlin a few years ago, Fat Jon disappeared from view in the States. (His former partner in Five Deez, Pase Rock, is now a successful — albeit foulmouthed — New York party rapper.) But he continues to produce quality work overseas, issuing instrumental hip-hop albums as well as electronic projects with Styrofoam and Pole.
Fat Jon’s Repaint Tomorrow was released by P-Vine Records on August 2. Since it’s a Japanese release, it will probably run you $30 or more in import prices, so try to find a digital copy.
