  • The first album by Joshua Iz comes out today on Vizual Records. Though a longtime fixture of California's club scene, Iz's roots are in mid-'90s Chicago. He first debuted in 1995 (as Joshua) on The Foot Therapy EP, a record he co-produced with Ron Trent, Abacus and Chez Damier. His new album is called It Iz What It Iz, and shows him teaming up with Damier once again for the track "Sentimental Love." Other guest appearances come from New York MC Jamalski and another one of Iz's old Chicago buddies: Dwayne Washington, AKA Diz. It comes a few months after two related compilations: It Iz What It Was and It Iz What It Iz (The Remixes). Aside from the title track and the 2009 A-side "Deep Space Pressure," all of the songs are previously unreleased. Tracklist 01. It Iz What It Iz feat. Diz 02. The Bells 03. Earthrise (Moon Mix) 04.
