Softest Hard has been popping up across the music world for several years now and it seems that she has settled in to her spot as a talented producer and DJ. Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, Softest Hard is currently based in Los Angeles. Her remix of Mary J Blige’s “Real Love” is soft and gentle while still being intriguing and exciting to listen to.
It’s no small feat to take on an MJB classic, and luckily Softest Hard did it justice.
Electro, Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Quinn – Change of Scenery (EP)
Posted by admin on May 4, 2015
Quinn is no stranger to Fresh New Tracks, after we premiered his lead single “Never Done This“, readers and listeners got a taste of his pop-leaning “FFYL“. Originally from Michigan, only a year ago Quinn was making music from his dorm room that could easily be written off as “college-rap.”
Now, only a few short months later –in that same dorm room– Quinn has matured both sonically and lyrically. For an artist trying to be a darling of taste-maker, cool kid blogs, while simultaneously attempting to capture a mainstream audiences ear, it’s imperative that he or she be brutally self-aware.
“Everybody hit that shmoney ’bout a week ago // yeah I know that’s not my style, but I still play it though,” raps Quinn on Change of Scenery‘s opening track “Native Tongue”.
In a world where artists are immediately boxed off or even disregarded to a specific genre, Quinn is breaking through the mold. Listen below as he sing-raps and grabs attention with ease through his Top-40-ready hooks.

Posted by VMan on May 4, 2015
BTOYL is pretty new to the scene, and his song titles are a bit off, but his music is not. “Ice Cream Truck Left” is an interesting layering process that starts small but gets very catchy by the end of it. His other tracks feature an equal amount of dopeness as his latest single. Learn more about BTOYL here.

Posted by VMan on May 1, 2015
Adam Tell is something that typically wouldn’t be my main interest. His EP Fiction proved my tastes wrong. The 5-track EP has surprisingly decent and diverse moments, especially “Close This Case,” with vocal verses that are moving and electronic that gets more entertaining as time passes. Adam Tell’s debut EP is available now.

My boy Jersey producer Myles William told me a few months back this cat from Paterson, Fetty Wap, and his track “Trap Queen” would be huge, and to be honest, not giving enough credit to Jersey rappers, I didn’t believe him… Low and behold, he was right, this track is everywhere, and you know what’s even better than the original? This cover/remake by In Retrograde which was sent to me for a premiere, and I had to accept, the track’s been on repeat for me since I clicked on it! This is what happens when a trap king and a trap king link up, bangers! This is a must listen!
