Finale is an MC from Detroit who recently released his first album, ‘A Pipe Dream and a Promise’, which features production from the likes of Nottz, Flying Lotus, Oddisee, Jay Dee, Black Milk as well as Switzlerland-based Dimlite, better known for his electronic music/hip hop experimentations.

You can download the Dimlite-produced track ‘Issues’ below. Here’s the official word on it:
“The latest track from Finale’s debut album A Pipe Dream & A Promise, “Issues,” traces the difficulties of growing up in a less than ideal situation and doing what you have to do to make the best of it. Supported by the electronic beat of Swiss producer Dimlite, Finale spits verses of true stories about those who have had to face adversity in their life. Finale offered this explanation of the track: “When I got the beat, Dimlite just sent me the drums and I wrote it within an hour. I thought of the craziest and most real stories. I think rappers forget to show the moral of the story. I think they are so used to telling the outlandish, most gangsteriffic crap, they forget to tell the stories that people can relate to, like teen pregnancy, like my mom was 15 when she had me.”

Personally it’s growing on me a lot, much more than the Jay Dee produced one which was leaked a few weeks back. The album, ‘A Pipe Dream and a Promise’, is out now. Buy it from iTunes here (iTunes link).

Thanks to Audible Treats for the hook up.
