EDGAR ALLEN FLOE TEAMS UP WITH J WHEELS FOR NEW ALBUM “FLOETRY IN MOTION” FEATURING ROYCE DA 5’9”, TERMANOLOGY, NOTTZ, LATOIYA WILLIAMS, AND MORE

-For Immediate Release-

It’s been years since the release of Edgar Allen Floe’s official debut album The Streetwise LP. Most noted for his contributions as a member of North Carolina’s underground hip hop collective, The Justus League, Floe is back with the release of Floetry In Motion dropping June 19th on MCEO Records / Mass Media Group.

“I needed to take a step back and look at the direction I was taking with my music, to really make sure I was on the path that was right for me. Floetry In Motion sums up perfectly what I’m looking to accomplish with my music for years to come, which is deliver a truly organic and original sound.” – Edgar Allen Floe

Produced entirely by J Wheels, who has produced for artists such as Jean Grae and Canibus, Floetry In Motion features a well balanced cast of soulful vocalists and legendary hip hop artists. The hard-hitting “Mighty Floe Young” features producer/emcee Nottz, as well as Royce da 5’9” from Slaughterhouse. The smooth vibes of “Don’t Stop” features renowned singer LaToiya Williams, who has worked with artists such as Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and The Game.

“Who knew that one trip to a local record store in Norfolk, Virginia would be the catalyst for such an amazing album!! Floe was performing there and I handed him a remix album, the rest was history! The creation of this album has made me a better producer, listener, and collaborator. It was truly a great experience, and I will always be grateful to Floe for giving an unknown producer a chance to make quality music! We made something special, I hope you all enjoy it! Thanks!” — Jeff “J Wheels” Wheeler
