Hip-Hop, Rap | Trey Palms – Back of My Mind
Posted by admin on February 14, 2014
Trey Palms has been on my radar for quite some time now and with his newest release, “Back of My Mind”, he has solidified in my mind the ability that he has to create catchy rap-R&B records. Trey has been working hard to live out his music dreams, travelling between his hometown of Baltimore and New York City. And, although I’m sure it isn’t easy, the hard work shows in his most recent work.
“Back of My Mind” is upbeat, fun and definitely a fitting track to kick off your Valentine’s Day plans (or lack thereof). Be sure to follow Trey on SoundCloud, and leave some feedback below!
Electro, Hip-Hop, Rap | Galimatias & Joppe – One Step Back (ft. GoldLink)
Posted by admin on February 13, 2014
After proving he could conquer a “typical” hip-hop beat, spitting atop Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Pt. 2”, GoldLink is back in his production wheelhouse with the dreamy-deephouse sounds of Galimatias and Joppe. The two Danish producers have been making music together for some time now, and luckily they connected with the Virginia native through the future production label, Soulection.
The song has already amassed an astounding twenty thousand plays in the first 24-hours, and shows no signs of slowing down! Although, “One Step Back” will not be a part of GoldLink’s upcoming project, The God Complex, it’s a very strong addition to his musical catalogue. Enjoy the free download and be on the look out for an official release date of The God Complex sometime next week.
Hip-Hop, Rap | ProbCause & The O’My’s – One of a Kind
Posted by admin on February 9, 2014
Some of you may remember the name ProbCause from when I tossed up his trippy song and visuals “LSD” featuring Chance The Rapper, a few months ago. He has returned, this time with a new Chicago-bred artist to collaborate with on the single entitled “One of a Kind”.
The O’My’s raspy vocals mixed in with Prob’s smooth delivery lace the jazz-filled production to create a record worth listening to again and again. Donnie Trumpet is to thank for the beautiful brass sounds, but I’m personally glad that all three of the artists teamed up to create such a masterpiece.
Enjoy the free download and don’t take your eye off of Chicago for too long.
Ambient, Electro | Barcelona – Background (MSG Remix)
Posted by admin on February 2, 2014
Despite their million+ fans, I was previously unaware of Barcelona. The group has chocked their SoundCloud full of remixes, and one in particular that really made a lasting impression was MSG’s “Background” reworking. The song takes ambient elements from Barcelona’s catchy vocals and mixes them with the deep house sounds that are making their rounds across the music world. The result is pure bliss for an entire four minutes and thirty eight seconds.
Both MSG and Barcelona hail from the Northwest state of Washington, a hub for all things culture and music. The local influences allowed for this track to click on multiple levels, making it enjoyable for indie and electronic fans alike.
I encourage you all to dive in to this song and stay up to date with future releases via Barcelona’s SoundCloud page.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Vonny Del Fresco – After The Fall (EP)
Posted by admin on January 30, 2014
It’s been a little while since I introduced you to the Milwaukee emcee, Vonny Del Fresco, and his anti-materialism anthem “Noir Designer”. Lucky for you, “Noir Designer” was just a single off of Vonny’s newest five-track EP, After The Fall. The project fills any room with its deep, hollowed out drums and distorted vocals, reminiscent of Yeezus.
The entire project is highly enjoyable, filled with not only sonically pleasing music, but also socially conscious content matter. Del Fresco’s unique perspective and life vision make for an unmatched listening experience that will have you anxiously awaiting the next twist or turn that it takes.
Hit play on my personal favorite “YNWD”, or set aside 18 minutes and 31 seconds to truly get an idea of who Vonny Del Fresco is as an artist, and the bright 2014 that I’m certain will be upon him.
Chill, Hip-Hop | Radical Something – Pure
Posted by admin on January 30, 2014
It’s been a hot second since we have heard anything from the Cali-based group, Radical Something, but thankfully they are back with a brand new song and video, “Pure”. The song is a refreshing switch up from the usual upbeat, poppy-sounds of summer that we usually get from the band. “Pure” is just that, a simple, melodic and slow ballad to the beauty of life and music. As we are stuck in the barren winter months it is important to take a step back and enjoy.
Rad-So, although not having to bear the sub-zero temperatures that us over on the east-coast do, are still making these cold months a tad more enjoyable. So, sit-back and take in “Pure”.
Chill, Indie | Prelow – For The Team
Posted by admin on January 22, 2014
After a semi-intelligent child turned me on to their music a few weeks back, I have been absolutely hooked on Prelow. The mysterious band has only one public track on their SoundCloud, but the heavily-produced indie tune “For The Team” has me begging to hear more.
Lead vocalist, Jesse Aicher, whispers sweet nothings in to your ear as the song progresses. His soft, melodic voice complementing the hazy electronic instrumental to make a sound unlike much of what I have heard coming out of the indie genre.
The duo, although seemingly new to the scene, clearly has a natural cohesion, and a knack for making intriguing music. I encourage you all to check out Prelow’s “For The Team” and stay tuned for more from the NYC-based group.
