The Witzard

Beat-twisting Philly producer and multi-instrumentalist Harry Metz AKA Rolled Gold is one of our personal favorite Hip-Hop/Hip-Hop-adjacent artists and has been for the past few years. I believe, we've covered nearly everything he's released since 2016's Rolled Gold & Uncle Crimson: The Great Fallback EP. Metz's beats and Jazz/Soul-indebted compositions are often comparable to the works of Madlib, J Dilla & DOOM, as well as Motown, Stax & Philly Internation Records' gold-dipped back catalogs.

Earlier this year, Rolled Gold kick-started his latest musical endeavor with A Different Cloth, Vol. 1 EP/beat tape, as a way to fully fresh out and properly release a wide array of unfinished songs, unreleased remixes, both old and new collaborations, unplaced instrumental beats, etc. It's, essentially, an extension of his 2018 EP, Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast with an added "cut from a different cloth"-type of vibe, as well as a place for Metz to display his eclectic collection of quilts and tapest...

A Different Cloth, Vol. 1 by Rolled Gold Just last year, Philly 's own beat-twisting producer and multi-instrumentalist Harry Metz AKA Rolled Gold self-released a slew of original projects including "Nite Owl's Theme" Feat. Ai​-​Que & Reef The Lost Cauze , Boogieman Dela's Broken Watch 02: Future Currents EP, Rolled Gold's Healthy A$$ Breakfast , a remix of Career Crooks' "Clock's Ticking" with Wino Willy, and a remix of his own production work on Boogieman 's "Hustler." Now, Rolled Gold has returned with a New Year's Eve/Day release entitled A Different Cloth, Vol. 1 ; prior to release, @RolledGoldBeats himself described it as "100% original Soulful -a$$, Jazzy , dusty grimy-a$$ beats, [and] remix snippets from the homies..." A Different Cloth, Vol. 1 is the first installment in a planned instrumental/remix EP series, which itself, is a quasi-progression of last year's Rolled Gold's Healthy A...
