Stevie Wonder, Raheem DeVaughn, Leela James & More Join Mike Phillips’ Jazz-Infused “Flava In Ya Ear” Remix Video


Mike Phillips is a hailed saxophonist, with an illustrious music career within the Jazz, R&B and Hip-Hop worlds. “Flava In Ya Ear” is a classic, and a staple amongst the community, so if a remix happens, it has to be done in a different style that still honors the original.

The “Flava In Ya Ear,” jazz-infused remix, is a joyful tribute to Craig Mack, the iconic rapper who sadly passed away in 2018. The breakout song and video was released in 1994 through Diddy’s Bad Boy Records. The remix music video features some of R&B’s most notable voices, like Stevie Wonder, PJ Morton, Eric Roberson, Avery*Sunshine, Raheem Devaughn, Leela James, and more.

Over the last few weeks, Phillips has been quietly working on a challenging problem. How do you bring together twenty people including some of the top names in R&B to make a music video during a pandemic? “Dozens of video conferences, phone calls, texts, and emails later the problem was solved,” states Phillips.

A result from the calls, texts, and emails, is the star-studded music video for one of the most energetic songs from Phillips recently released album “Pulling Off The Covers”.

This upcoming Sunday, June 3rd, Phillips returns to #ClubQuarantine, after taking over D-Nice’s Instagram Account (@DNICE) this past weekend. Phillips brought Club Quarantine to its feet with a powerful jazz performance that gave viewers a #JazzonSundays experience like non other. Club Quarantine has emerged as a destination on Instagram for fans who are staying at home looking for a musical community during the pandemic.
