It’s an easy Saturday night, I’m checking out my boy K-Woody‘s latest single “No More” and SoundCloud continuously streams me to “Wherever You Are” and I’m immediately captured by Shannon Livewell’s vocals and K-Woody’s laidback ‘talk to’em’ flow. Yes, I’ve been sleeping on this project. Entirely tracked and mixed in Nashville, TN “Phases” is some real shit, no other way to put it, and that’s why it’s good. With productions by Nate Fox, Ghost Notes, Big K.R.I.T., and more, this is a solid album which deserves your attention. I’m going to let you feel this one. This is a must listen. Peace!

Electronic, RnB | Skit & Tijani – Sweat EP

Posted by on March 12, 2014

“Sweat” was posted on FNT last summer and was featured in radio shows and previews. Now we finally have the release we were all anxiously awaiting! This three track EP is absolute sex. Skit & Tijani create a simple, smooth vibe in this EP filled with passion and emotion. My favorite track is the title track “Sweat” but they are all fantastic. You can grab this excellently produced EP off of Itunes, and I threw in the music video for “Sweat” as well so you could see the visuals they chose.

If you’re not paying attention to Erik Hassle, now would be a good time, I’ll admit I just discovered him a few minutes ago, and this guy is amazing. With “Pathetic” off his 6 track EP “Somebody’s Party,” I don’t invite you guys to just play this record, but to actually stream the whole project on his SoundCloud, it’s that good. A mix between Prince, and Robin Thicke, with the vocals, over new age Electo-R&B productions, this project is straight perfection. Give it some time before the US picks up on Erik, but it’ll happen, bigger than Disclosure in my opinion. This is a must listen and a must download!

DO SOMETHING

Hip-Hop, RnB | William Bolton – Let’s Stay Together (prod. by Times New Roman)

Posted by on February 27, 2014

Though he’s known by his production name, Times New Roman, the lyrical version of this incredibly integrating producer is equally as impressive. William Bolton’s “Let’s Stay Together” is self produced and about to go viral. The beat is all to catchy with original lyrics that will win you over from the get go. Peep this platinum below and keep up to date with this up-and-coming artist.

Electro, RnB | user601586061 – Superfriends.

“Ohh baby baby, we can be superfriends!” that’s what “Superfriends.” ‘ about by anon singer/producer user6015866061, whom you might notice uses the same logo as the track I posted last week from the mystery submission I featured “Miss Jackson.” Much in the same vibe, this one has a 2014 electro-r&b-trap Rick James feel to it that’s going to have you 1-2 stepping and singing along in  a falsetto voice. I almost want to recommend this track if you’re trying to pick up that special somebody, playing this record might boost your confidence and release that inner lady’s man! This is a must listen!

Hip-Hop, RnB | TBT: Tinashe ft. Chance The Rapper – Ecstasy (Remix)

This time last year Chance had just dropped ‘Juice’, a feature track off of his second Mixtape Acid, and his buzz was just building. Around the same time last year the multi-talented Tinashe was assembling her second tape, Reverie. Now a year later they are both in the midst of their ascension into God-like-status, so it’s hard to imagine that their collaborative joint was criminally slept-on, it was low-key one of the best collabs of last year. The ‘Ecstasy’ remix was an early window into the dynamism of both of these  artists. Tinashe and Chance have since individually hopped on some major joints with some artful musicians and they seem to always fit in wherever a microphone needs blessing.
