Modenine dropped his new album Alphabetical Order in April. It is actually a collabo album, with producer XYZ doing all the beats. XYZ is a member of the rap group, Straight Butter, but has been doing more of music producing recently. The first single off the album, Flow For The Streets already enjoys play on MTV Base and Channel O.Read up what Modenine had to say about the album during a recent interview with HipHop World Magazine-
"Alphabetical Order’ is a joint album, me and XYZ. XYZ being the producer, produced all twenty songs. The idea for the project was actually conceived in 2009. X came to my place and dropped some songs. I used a couple of those songs for the ‘Da Vinci Mode’ project that came out in 2010. If you listen to the song “Black Rap Messiah”, you’ll hear me shouting ‘Alphabetical Order’ on it.
So we had a name but I experienced some ups and downs. I had to go to the UK for like ten months. I worked on some other albums as well I probably did five albums in between. Some free downloads for the internet but then I think towards the ending of last year I just called him up and I was like I heard some of the old songs and they songs can’t just go to waste. I have to come out.
I told him to send me some more beats and that’s how we started doing it. At first it was going to be a free download but I got tired of all that, I was like let’s just sell it and see what happens because the fans want it, let’s sell it. So it’s a joint album Mode 9 and XYZ.
This is more Hip-Hop. You know XYZ is straight butter. He’s hundred percent Hip-Hop. But there are songs that are easy going like “Let it Go”, “One on One” with Capital F.E.M.I, and “Industry Diva”. Those songs are more mellow; for girls that don’t really like hiphop."
