The original album and instrumental are available as CDs in jewel cases with a 4p panel insert. The artwork is by Harvey Cliff.In every arts community, there are people who, despite being little known even to fans of the scene, are deeply embedded in it's past and present. Regarding NYC independent hip-hop, Joseph Fusaro, aka Steel Tipped Dove, is one of those people. Not only has he quietly made beats for everybody and their cousin, but for more than fifteen years, Dove has run a recording studio out of the same 2nd-floor walk-up in Brooklyn, weathering gentrification and the proliferation of home studios alike. At that time, a wealth of artists had crossed his threshold; some were famous, some were forgotten, and many were in between. Dove's was always where you could schedule a last-minute session or have an out-of-town artist meet you at 1 am after their show. There was no need to worry; Dove would be there. It's a place that you drop by because you're around the corner and end up leaving with a jump drive full of wild beats.Call Me When You're Outside is a testament to that energy: inspired collaborations with disparate artists from across the country and the indie music spectrum. The album features ELUCID, billy woods, KeiyaA, The Koreatown Oddity, Pink Siifu, SHIRT, Fat Tony, Fielded, Fatboi Sharif, and SKECH185, and is entirely produced by Steel Tipped Dove. Mixed and mastered by Willie Green and executive produced by billy woods, CMWYO speaks to Dove's history in the scene and the vitality of his current work. He may have been in the game for a long time, but his beats have never sounded better, and his vision as a producer has never been clearer. With that in mind, if you buy it directly from us, the project will come with the full instrumentals, also included in the vinyl and CD versions. Multidisciplinary artist Myra Musgrove masterfully handles the vinyl artwork, while the enigmatic Harvey Cliff designs the CD.In some ways, it's surprising that for all the artists Dove has worked with-NOSAJ from New Kingdom, R.A.P. Ferreira, Tone Tank, Das Racist, ShrapKnel, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire, Kemba fka YC The Cynic-he has never put out a project like this. But if you know Joe, it's not. He has always been comfortable playing the background and contributing however he could. For him, it's always been about the music. We hope you enjoy this rare peek into Dove's world: his sound, friends, and collaborators. The studio is open to everyone, but the buzzer hasn't worked for fifteen years, so call when you're outside.
