{You Aint Right} is a standout track from another upcoming Chicago MC by the name of Phenomenal1. We saw him spit 1st hand at The Inauguration 3 a few months back to his loyal following and here he is with a conscious single called "You Ain't Right". I'm diggin' the lyrics and the record certainly has a raw, Chicago sound. To critique, I wasn't vibing with his flow the entire time, but he definitely had his moments. For more information and to listen to more of his music, you know he's got a MySpace, which you can visit HERE and you can check him out LIVE for yourself this Saturday. Details on the flyer below. Shouts 2 JROC for passin' me along and you can expect more music from Phenomenal1 on GWHH in the future. - GoWhereHipHop.com

A Phenom
Some say he’s phenomenal! He says he’s the Phenomenal1. Phenomenal1, aka Phenom, hails from the south side of the city and is known for his willingness to hit the streets of both, Illinois and neighboring Indiana to hone his skills and show people what being phenomenal is really like. Diligently marketing himself and his talents, by promoting and performing shows sometimes 3 to 4 times weekly, has been one of the leading factors of why he has created such a strong buzz for himself in the city of wind. As many know, being successful in the music industry requires an artist to have both, special talent and a good business mind.
Phenom is a member of AML or the All Might Label, which touts a team of producers and rappers. One of the producers, Brian Berry, produced the track that Phenom lays his verses over for the RailRoad’s promotional song, which is played on the website’s homepage. Phenomenal1 is also a skilled producer himself; producing a number of his own tracks, making him essentially, a one man band. He’s has dropped his EP, Phantastic, and as promised it is one filled with conjuring beats and pure lyricism.

Bio
In his short time Rapper/Producer Phenomenal1, or Phenom as you may hear him called, has greatly impacted the hip-hop game. Having executively produced 7 albums, and featured on a host of others; Phenom clearly expresses his passion for music. Not only do the fans throughout the country recognize his many talents, other talented artists have also given recognition. While many recognize his genius inside the studio it is his work live performances that continue to win over many fans. With an impressive and ever growing resume; Phenomenal1 has already shared the stage with many hip-hop greats and continues on his quest to work with many more. From opening for one of his personal heroes Twista, his great work has also given him the opportunity to perform on the same stage with Talib Kweli, Black Sheep, Wu-Tang, Keith Murray and others. Phenomenal1 seems to be in line to be the next hip-hop headliner! “Aiming high, never aiming low” as he states in the fan favorite song "Never"; shows that he lives his lyrics. Phenom’s style is very unique giving him that distinguishing edge; separating him from all other rappers, while at the same time bringing much comparison to fellow Chicago rappers such as Common, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West. He has also been compared to the likes of Talib Kweli, Jay-Z and even Outkast. Outside of his pointed lyrics, many of his songs deliver a home hitting message or a topic listeners can relate to. "You Go Boy," "3Wishes", "Love", and "Car Hop" are just a few of the songs respected and loved by fans everywhere! These songs and others are featured on his reverbnation page (reverbnation.com/phenomenal1), where he has peaked on the charts at #65 out of over 26,000 artists. The future has many great things in store for this talented and motivated rapper/producer who oversees the All Mighty Label as well! SO in the words of Phenomenal1 Y-o-u G-o Boy!!
