Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Marc Goone – I Am Not a Lobster Ok (Album)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 14, 2013
Fresh New Tracks has always supported Marc Goone. I think he has the talent, and personality, to go a long way in the music industry. His latest tape, does nothing but raises by already high regard for him. Every song is unique, and his cadence and voice are something copycat rappers should strive for. His beat selection, often courtesy of Zuxwitit and Judge, is constantly changing and adapting to his ever improving and ever changing rap style. If you find me another rapper with the same style as Marc Goone, I’ll send you to the A&R’s at Def Jam, because that’s who you should be working for. Even if Marc isn’t your cup of tea, you would have to agree that he is unique, and that’s one thing I look for in the over-satured game of internet rappers. Stream the mixtape below via soundcloud and buy it on iTunes here.
Hip-Hop | Fortune Family feat. JohnieB – Gravity (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 6, 2013
Boy, have I missed these two. Although I have been in constant communication with Reef, I have been missing the music of he and his partner more than I am willing to admit on a public website. But fear not, the Fortune Fam is back for seconds. When they broke up, I knew it would only be a matter of time before they ran back into each other’s arms like lost puppies because they missed seeing me so eloquently write about their music. Now I’m sure that’s not the only reason, but I’m sure it is one. Their come back effort does not miss a beat, and picks up right where they left off, no doubt Reef has been practicing in his shower waiting for the day where he and Hop reunited. Welcome back to the blogosphere boys, we missed you.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Sam Lachow – 80 Bars (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 1, 2013
Now Sam Lachow did something dope here. As he described in the Youtube description, he created a beat compilation of all different types of beats. My favorite has to be the first one, because I love Sam on piano driven, melodic beats like Nothing’s Gonna Change. This track has something for everybody, it’s got the heavier beats, the synth drivens, the melodics, the harmonics. The video, put together by Sam is great as always, and just depicts him having as much fun as ever lurkin around the nation’s hip-hop hotbed. Check out the video above and follow Sam on twitter for some solid entertainment
Hip-Hop, Videos | Smoke Again – Chance the Rapper feat. Ab-Soul (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on April 28, 2013
Nothing better to hype up your already highly anticipated mixtape than a brand new video and a brand new track. Chance had the opportunity to link up with the likes of illRoots (directed the video), Ab-Soul, and Skrillex on his latest trip to LA, and I had the opportunity to hear some of the stories. Let’s just say I hope Chance goes out to LA again soon. The song itself is just another example of why Chance is the next big thing. Chance’s lyrics are on another level, evidenced by “lean all on the square, that’s a fucking rhombus,” as some body who failed geometry, even I could appreciate that line. The video, filmed by the great people of illRoots, is original and awesome, and captures the mood of the song perfectly. Check out the video above and be on the lookout for Acid Rap, April 30th.
Hip-Hop, Videos | No Trace – 5AM in Toronto (Remix)
Posted by J_Salzer on April 28, 2013
I know what most of you are thinking. You’re angry at me for posting a remix to 5AM in Toronto, it’s like three weeks late, I get it. But, this is my first exposure to No Trace’s music and I was shocked. When I got a message from a 16 year old, yes, I said 16 year old, on Facebook, I was expecting the worst. What I got though, was the opposite. Now, you can’t be comparing these guys to Drake, Chance, Cole, etc., yet. They’re 16. They have mad potential and the song is dope. Check it out above and be on the lookout for more from these two, Fresh New Tracks will be tracking their progress closely.
Chill, Hip-Hop | Jetpack Jones – Cup Runneth Over
Posted by J_Salzer on April 28, 2013
Another week, another new track from the hardest working rapper in the game. Jetpack Jones releases yet another free track for his fans enjoyment. Jetpack has been a roll lately, releasing the best music of his career. I’ve seen an incredible amount of progression in the California rapper’s skills in the past two years, and his best is yet to come. The time has come for people to stop sleeping on Jetpack and wake up to the Jetpack movement. His latest song is a great introduction to his music if you haven’t heard it before. Check the track out below and be on the lookout for more Jetpack.
Videos | Drake – Girls Love Beyonce (Rendition) by SoMo
Posted by J_Salzer on April 21, 2013
It just to happens that everytime I hear a new SoMo Sunday, I am also watching NBC’s The Voice. Joseph SoMo is better than every person I’ve seen on NBC’s primetime singing competition. But I’m going to give credit where credit is due and let you all know that Joseph SoMo is one of the best singers in this country. He can go toe to toe with the best of them, and I’m sure he would have all 4 coaches at his beck and call if he were to go Collin McLoughlin and make the transition from the blog game to the TV game. But we hope he doesn’t because that could interfere with our SoMo Sundays. So stay where you belong Mr. SoMo, we love you.
