Albums, Hip-Hop | CJ Trillo – Volume 1: Nostalgia
Posted by LoffyG on November 5, 2013
Nearly 2 years ago one of our writers, W8, introduced me to a very dope and underrated artist that is CJ Trillo. Ever since then, I’ve kept CJ projects in heavy rotation due to his pure lyrical originality and smooth productions, which are for the most part created by his right hand man, Jim IE. Today he released his fourth project, Volume 1: Nostalgia. CJ said that this project is everything in him that he’s wanted to release, but was always too self-conscious to in the past. He’s finally reached the point in his artistic career where he’s grown past the concern of how other people view him. With that being said, he has finally allowed himself to vocalize and create all the ideas and vibes he’s wanted to since he first started rapping back in 2009. Listen and download the full project below and get to know CJ in this recent interview about Volume 1: Nostalgia.

Electronic | Zedd ft. Hayley Williams – Stay The Night (YOGI Remix)
Posted by J-Tiffy on November 5, 2013
Meanwhile… OWSLA has embraced yet another killer artist. Not only does OWSLA bring our attention to another vessel of talent, but with this release, YOGI and OWSLA have finally given me a version of Stay The Night that I can fully get on board with. The original disappointed me, and there had yet to be a remix that I enjoyed all of. YOGI brings the creativity with this tune. Ruthless effects on Hayley’s vocals, and devilish use of a sample from Kendrick Lamar’s Poetic Justice are what stand out for me. Give this dark little treat a listen.
YOGI is also the man behind the original Follow U, the big song back in 2011 that received huge remixes from Xilent, Trolley Snatcha and Submerse among others.
Interviews | FreshNewTracks Sits Down With….PropaneLv
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 24, 2013
Portland’s PropaneLv is on the rise. His “Varsity Blues” project has taken the blogosphere by storm, and he’s on a meteoric rise. We sat down with the budding hip-hop sensation to talk “Varsity Blues”, money, and who his four wives would be if he were a polygamist.
1. Who is PropaneLv?
I think he’s still just a guy trying to find his path in life. I’ve always felt a little off and I still can’t escape that feeling. When making music I feel at home, but everything outside of that still hasn’t come together for me.

After releasing a handful of free mixtapes and too many singles to count, Huey Mack’s debut album Pretending Perfection is now on iTunes.

Abstract Hip-Hop | Premiere: Kaytranada – Hilarity Duff
Posted by yabishcic on October 16, 2013
This is an instrumental affair. Kaytranada has been making appearances in the music scene left, right and center since his first major remix of Janet Jacksons’s ‘If’ back in 2012. As one of the biggest up and coming artist’s for 2014, he stacks this beat with heart-heavy bass and a great array of sounds to please your ear. It’s everything you expect/want out of Kaytranada which makes it so damn good.
‘Hilarity Duff’ is the B-side of ‘At All’, the new single from Kaytranada out now.
