For his new single, producer DJ Design teams up with Phat Kat & Elzhi from J Dilla 's vaunted Slum Village crew. The track "The Blues" is aggressive and loud with screaming organs, laying down a backdrop for two very different perspectives rooted in the rough reality of lived experience from the heart of Motown, Detroit. This is the first single of Design's upcoming producer/emcee album. Next to Phat Kat and Elzhi , other notable guests on the album are Fashawn , Guilty Simpson , LMNO and Gennessee . Early Stones Throw recording artist DJ Design , known for creating the iconic Quasimoto monster character and the LP cover design for "My Vinyl Weighs A Ton" by Peanut Butter Wolf , is also a beat maker responsible for the seminal instrumental LP, "Gather Round" with the supporting EP, "Sparkdala" featuring Madlib / Quasimoto .
