Kev Brown is not only one of my favourite producers, but is without a doubt one of the most underrated ones too. He has produced for the likes of Raheem DeVaughn, Phonte from Little Brother, Grap Luva, De La Soul, Busta & even contributed to Dj Jazzy Jeff’s ‘Magnificent EP’. Kev has just released a new album with Kaimbr called ‘The Alexander Green Project’ & to draw more attention to his music is also giving this compilation of classics and unreleased tracks away for free. For those of you new to his production and like this free download, be sure to check out his albums ‘I Do What I Do’, ‘Random Joints’ & the classic Jay-Z Black Album remix ‘The Brown Album’.
