Disco Biscuits bassist, Marc Brownstein, is quickly rising ranks among NYC hip hop circles. Who would have ever imagined that he would replace the great Jay-Z? He recently teamed up with female hip hop vocalist McKenzie Eddy and produced her new album that is set to be released in April. Eddy recently released a new mix tape appropriately dubbed A Prelude to My Next Excursion. Brownstein produced "Retrograde," the third track on the mix tape.

The production in "Retrograde" is good. It's great quality and it sounds exactly like what you would expect from Brownie; Disco Biscuits hip hop. The album will be released under the BiscoRoc record label and features the beautiful and soulful storytelling of "the Baby Face of Hip Hop,” as Eddy was called by Elle Magazine this year.

The BiscoRoc record label is a joint venture between the Disco Biscuits and Roc-a-Fella founder, and current BluRoc Records owner, Damon Dash. It will be a while before we can gauge exactly when Brownie will sit upon the throne formerly warmed by Hove. The mix tape hosts a family of producers and they all do well. Eddy leans toward the soulful R&B side, but the release also contains some solid, new-age lyricism, tight beats and huge hip hop undertones. It is a good enough, eclectic mix of musicians to give a listen to. While not amazing, the new McKenzie Eddy track, "Retrograde" does leave a Disco Biscuits fan somewhat satisfied and curious as to where the next turn down Bisco lane will take us.
