"Following up a noteworthy first year of releases, the Fresh Selects label is excited to start 2015 off with a project where we'll being debuting a new talent to the world for the first time. Except in this case - this "new" artist also happens to be somewhat of a veteran.

The anomaly in question is Dolphin - a prolific outsider artist based in Baltimore. He has written and recorded over 50 full-length albums over the past 10 years or so - and has never officially released a single one of them. Until now.

To ease things into the barrage of music to come, he presents "Young Black Mind" - a 7 minute anthem that is as much autobiographical and specific as it is universal and ubiquitous. As he does on all his songs - Dolphin wrote, produced, recorded & played all the instruments on the track himself (in this case being vocals, piano, strings, bass guitar, and the MPC for drums). The song serves as a strong, yet mere "tip of the iceberg," introduction to the wholly original sound that Dolphin has cultivated and developed over all these years.

The secret's out now - but the story's just beginning."
