PHILLY MOVES
Philly Moves is one hard-working hip-hop act. Last spring, they left their home in the capital for a cross-Canada tour in support of their 2009 LP Basics to Back It. The two members, vocalist/MC Tragic (Tynan Joseph Phelan) and producer/hypeman Rockwell (Jonathan Patrick Desilva), drove coast to coast in the space of a month and half, playing more than twenty stops along the way and sleeping in the back of their van to keep costs low. For most bands, a tour like that would be exhausting enough, but Tynan and Jonathan used whatever free time was available to write and pre-record a new album (2010’s 25 Years), record a music video on the streets of Toronto, and video-blog the whole thing. Now that they’re back, they’re showing no signs of slowing, playing numerous shows, releasing new videos, and preparing for an upcoming Canadian Music Week showcase.
Philly Moves’ unique brand of hip-hop is their main appeal. Their combination of clever, smooth vocal lines with solid beats and samples feels fresh. Danceable, catchy, and decidedly non-mainstream – their music is packed with personality and flair. It’s accessible without being simple.
