Electro, Hip-Hop, Rap | BMB. – Playah (ft. GoldLink)
Posted by admin on December 2, 2013
After a straight month of recording, perfecting, and experimenting, we see GoldLink re-emerging from the woodworks. His latest offering, “Playah”, adds an entirely new dimension to the Virginia rapper’s persona. Not only does it detail the lifestyle of GoldLink growing up, but it also pushes forward a more socially conscious aspect of his music.
In a recent interview over at the Brightside Network, GoldLink said that “nobody is making moves like [him],” so be sure to stay tuned and see exactly what those moves might be.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Justin Timberlake – TKO (Remix) [J.Cole, A$AP Rocky, Pusha T]
Posted by admin on December 1, 2013
If you missed it a few days back, the Justin Timberlake “TKO” remix is one for the ages. Featuring three of the hottest young emcees (young of course being used relatively as Pusha T is 36) the song puts a more “hood” spin on the original JT Experience track. In my personal and professional opinion I like J. Cole’s verse the best, and no, not just because he responded to Kendrick. Cole’s wordplay and idiom game was on another level and I suggest you guys check out the full annotations over on Rap Genius.

Hip-Hop, Rap | OnCue – Leftovers 2
Posted by admin on November 29, 2013
What better suited title for the day after Thanksgiving than Leftovers 2? I’ll answer that for you: none. There are no better titles than Leftovers 2. To tide us over until his full length project, OnCue decided last minute to drop the sequel to his original Leftovers series.
The tape is full of the conviction that Cuey has become so well known for in addition to a few lighter-spirited tracks like “Nude”. Features included a few familiar names including Sonny Shotz, Ro Ransom, Skizzy Mars and The Kickdrums and the talented production team was headed by in-house favorite, CJ Luzi.
I’ll surely be bumping this project for the remainder of 2013 and I recommend you all hit the download and do the same. Toss OnCue a follow on Twitter if you’re feeling the tunes!
House | Kanye West – Bound 2 (Solidisco Remix)
Posted by admin on November 28, 2013
Now that you’ve gained about 43 pounds in food weight, I think it’s about time you danced it all off. Here to help you with that is the newest remix from Solidisco for Kanye West’s, “Bound 2”. In the wake of the risqué video, Solidisco thought that a fun, bouncy remix was in order. The song focuses on the Charlie Wilson vocals and oozes with a French Touch style.
The remix is about as far from the original Yeezus sound as it gets, however, as I’m sure Kanye would agree: music is about originality. Enjoy the free offering and sleep tight.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Isaiah Rashad – Ronnie Drake (ft. SZA) [Video]
Posted by admin on November 24, 2013
The TDE label mates, Isaiah Rashad and SZA teamed up a few weeks back to form the soft-spoken and tender “Ronnie Blake”. The power-duo has recently returned to the scene with their music video accompaniment. The video for “Ronnie Drake” is nothing incredibly detailed or cinematic, however, it does show a side that holds true to who Isaiah Rashad is as a person and as an artist.
I’ve had this record on repeat for days now, and I’m happy to be able to share it with you all. Enjoy this rare hip-hop flavoring on FNT and stay tuned for Rashad’s upcoming mixtape Cilivia.
Bass, Techno | moodblanc – Vous
Posted by admin on November 10, 2013
Tonight, Fresh New Tracks is providing you with something a little different than our usual musical offerings in an attempt to set your week off on the right foot. moodblanc is a Swedish, nu-disco duo with a sum-total of two songs in their SoundCloud catalog. Despite their non-expansive body of work, the two released songs are a treat for any pair of ears.
Be enchanted all the way to a terrace on the Hôtel de Paris, as “Vous” takes you on a continued journey through music…Each song that the group has released is a chapter in what appears to be a trilogy of work. “Vous” leaves the speaker/lover within the song in a vulnerable position, admitting that “it’s hard, impossible even, to be happy alone.”
Hopefully, the wait for Chapter Three won’t be too long, but in the meantime enjoy the soothing Daft-Punk-esk vocals and entrancing bassline.
RnB | Sean Kongery – Aware (ft. Elias)
Posted by admin on November 6, 2013
The beatsmith formally known as Sean Kongery is back. This time, the LA up and comer teams up with fellow Cali-vocalist Elias to create a smooth, soothing -I have just coined the word smoothing as an adjective for this song- ballad. In-house video team, Lake Effect Films, has yet again out done himself and absolutely blows me away with the story he managed to create behind the song.
Sean is soon to be at the key player in pop production, so it’ll be exciting to see the future singles as well as placements he’ll be getting these next couple months. For the time being, enjoy the song and video!
Also, the sampling of “Mr. Sandman” in the first few seconds of the visual is a fantastic touch.
