Katchphraze Out the Cage
After numerous delays due to copious amounts of paperwork it is finally here. You can get Katchphraze's first solo LP at a few different places. To order direct from us (you might get a surprise in the box!), head over to our Merch section. You can also download a digital copy over at DigStation, or order a digital or solid copy from CD Baby.
"Eye Can See Now" features production from Swollen Members' Rob The Viking, Sweatshop Union's Metty The Dert Merchant, Dan Weston, Ambience, D-TalkX and more!
It also features performances by Dan Weston, D-TalkX, Maggie Hopkins, Pumpkinhead, Metty and Suga D.
Finally, for those looking for some vintage Katchphraze, we managed to find a very limited number of copies of his first single, "Ones N Toos", which originally got the Swollen Members interested in his talent. There are only TWENTY-FIVE of these CD's available--six tracks (three songs and matching instrumentals). After these go, there won't be anymore, so make sure to get your hands on these. You never know how much they might be worth someday.
Special thanks to Dub CNN and SickSoFour for all of their help throughout the recording and production process.
