Hip-Hop, RnB | R. Kelly – Feelin’ Single
Posted by J_Salzer on May 11, 2012
Mr. Pee-on-you Kelly hits us with his latest single off his upcoming proect Write Me Back. Some good ole’ Rythmn and Blues from the master of it. Sure, people call Frank Ocean and The Weeknd R&B, but this…this is a different story. This is that old school R&B, but I think it has a place in new-school music. Sound off in the comments below and let me know what you think. I’ll never forget R. Kelly singing “I Look to You” at Whitney’s funeral, showing so much passion and emotion, mad respect for a super talented artist(I’m sorry the video is so powerful I have to embed it).
Hip-Hop | Matisyahu – Sunshine
Posted by J_Salzer on May 9, 2012
Everyone’s favorite rapping Hasidic Jew is back. Matisyahu drops off Sunshine for our listening(studying) pleasure. It’s almost finals time, and there’s nothing like studying with some Matisyahu. The beat on this is more synthesized than most Matisyahu songs, and we get less of an “instrumental” feel. But with those petty issues away, it’s a great song. You have 48 hours to download this LEGALLY for free if you go here. If you’re reading this post after your 48 hours is up, then no worries, just grab it on iTunes or stream it from YouTube above.
Hip-Hop | Beau Young Prince – Salty Air
Posted by J_Salzer on May 9, 2012
Beau Young Prince hits us with another solid song leading up to the release of his mixtape, Dream Chasers. Although it’s only about two minutes long, the song features a solid amount of bars because of it’s lack of a hook or chorus. This song is the definition of chill. I hate using that word to describe songs, because it’s so vague, and I feel like everyone and their mother is “chill.” But i don’t think that anyone can argue with me after hearing Salty Air. I hope Dream Chasers includes songs resembling Salty Air. And if it does, you’ll see it on Fresh New Tracks come it’s release on May 13th.
Hip-Hop | Rich Kid(Video) – OnCue (prod. by Brenton Duvall and C.J. Luzi)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 7, 2012
The highly anticipated video for OnCue’s hit single Rich Kid was dropped off today. The track is co-produced by Brenton Duvall and C.J. Luzi, so you know it’s good. The verses seamlessly transition into hooks and choruses. The song tells a stunning tale of OnCue’s life, and even though he never was a rich kid, if he keeps making music like this, best believe he’ll be dying one. The video is a bit trippy at times, but you’re quickly brought back to reality by Cuey rapping. As opposed to watching a rapper travel through places, and seeing things un related to the music, this video is pure Cuey. We’ve come to expect as much from his videos, Feel Tall being another one of my personal favorites.
With so many rappers making music now a days, there’s something for everyone, which proves to be both a blessing and a curse. If you aren’t a fan of OnCue, you’re bound to find something else you like. But no matter what your feelings are, this man is making unique music.
Hip-Hop | Meek Mill ft. Jeremih and Drake – Amen
Posted by J_Salzer on May 6, 2012
Word is that yesterday’s release of “Burn” was a joint release between Meek Mill and Big Sean, and WILL be appearing on highly anticipated mixtape, Dreamchasers 2. In my humble opinion, Meek Mill is underrated, he has a style that gets stuck in your head. Picking up Jeremih to feature, who I haven’t heard of since Birthday Sex. Although there’s no Drizzy Drake crooning on this, he still makes his presence known. I’ve included yesterday’s release of “Burn” below too if you missed it.

Hip-Hop | Spring – Fortune Family ft. Upper West
Posted by J_Salzer on May 2, 2012
Two groups that have made themselves unique using poppy sounds link up to create an absolutely grand song. The Sara Barellis sample sets the stage for an upbeat, fun song. The theme is further driven by quality verses from Reef and Doug. I had been hearing about this song from my man Reef for about a month. Now I know what he was so hyped about. I love everything about this song, whether its Reef’s powerful bars, or Doug’s raspy verse, Spring gets me hyped for Summer. I know this at categorized as “hip-hop” but pretend it says “hip-pop.” Hit FF on facebook here, and UW here.
Alternative | The Waves – Good Man’s Brain
Posted by J_Salzer on May 1, 2012
Hello all, I’m Joseph Salzer, and I’m a hip-hop blogger. So this is very strange for me. But here I am, posting a band, on Fresh New Tracks. All pleasantries aside, this song is fabulous. What really draws me in the lead singer’s vocals, and how they work perfectly with the dual guitar. But the main highlight is the lead vocals, going from falsetto to chest voice effortlessly while making everything sound perfect is no easy feat. I’m going to go ahead and categorize this under “Alternative” because I don’t know what else to place it under. Every time I hear One Direction on the radio from now on, I’m going to be asking myself why bands like them our famous, and bands like this have 1,000 views on youtube.
