Phat Kat –Dedication To The Suckers 12” (1999), and Houseshoes – Loungin’ (2004). The most recent House Shoes Recordings
releaseThe King James Version Vol. 1 (2008), his tribute to the late James “Jay Dee / J Dilla” Yancey, has sold well
independently andreceived rave reviews. As a DJ, Shoes has toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe with
Hip-Hop acts(Percee P, Guilty Simpson, Illa J, Exile, Aloe Blacc, Phat Kat, Slum Village, and Elzhi to name a few) as well as on his
own. Hehas garnered the respect of acts far outside the scope of Detroit Hip-Hop by taking crowds somewhere they never
planned ongoing, helping them discover more about music in the process. As a producer Houseshoes has worked with some of
Detroit’selite musicians and emcees to help contribute to the soundtrack of his city. « hide |
