Higher Heights Records presents another hard-hitting release from South East London MC Phoenix Da IceFire. Phoenix has been crafting his skills for some time now and is getting ready to set the country alight with this his debut release Batism of Fire.

Having cut his teeth through his garage roots, performing alongside the likes of P Money, Firmer Dee aka Funky Dee, Little Dee and Blacks has all helped play a part in his exciting new pathway towards individual success. Now 1/3 of Midas Touch with AKS & J Da Exodus, Phoenix feels it's time to step out by himself and bring some truth, experiences and opinions of his own to the mic.

This twenty-two track audio gem is hosted by Higher Height’s comrade and label mate M9 and mixed by super scratch dj Roast who cuts his way seamlessly through Hip - Hop’s more rugged side.

Features from Masikah, 9 Planets and fellow crew members AKS and J Da Exodus all add to the heat, spraying a flurry of condensed poetically punctuated rhymes that’ll burst a hole in your brain and leave your neck aching. If you think it’s icy right now - this is just the warm up!

Phoenix Da Icefire is soon to be dropping his debut album 'The Quantum Leap' featuring Kyza and Triple Darkness who recently formed the new super group Orphans of Cush. With the consistently sterling beatsmith CHEMO taking on all production duties this will be a follow up not to be missed.
