Electro | B.Dolla – Headhunter
Posted by admin on July 8, 2013
B.Dolla has always been a favorite in my books because of his “do-what-I-like” attitude. Herbie Hancock made a prolific impact on Dolla’s career and who he his musically, so he decided to take some of that passion and re-work it in to his music. Never mind that the young EDM fans of today probably don’t know the 1960s-age jazz pianist, Dolla thought, I’ll do what I want to do.
“Headhunter” is probably the exact opposite of what you’d expect out of an original track sampling Herbie Hancock. Hard hitting and trap infused, B.Dolla’s newest offering is most definitely one to be bumped at summer gatherings and a song that I can see thousands of fans wildin’ out to at a festival or two.
Last, slightly off-topic, but the album art for “Headhunter” is pretty stunning. That’s a great element to have going for you when submitting music. The art is the first thing bloggers see, and when it’s done professionally I’ll assume the music is just as professional!
Hip-Hop, Videos | No Trace – 5AM in Toronto (Remix)
Posted by J_Salzer on April 28, 2013
I know what most of you are thinking. You’re angry at me for posting a remix to 5AM in Toronto, it’s like three weeks late, I get it. But, this is my first exposure to No Trace’s music and I was shocked. When I got a message from a 16 year old, yes, I said 16 year old, on Facebook, I was expecting the worst. What I got though, was the opposite. Now, you can’t be comparing these guys to Drake, Chance, Cole, etc., yet. They’re 16. They have mad potential and the song is dope. Check it out above and be on the lookout for more from these two, Fresh New Tracks will be tracking their progress closely.
Trap | Paper Diamond & Christian Rich – XIX Ft. Angela McCluskey

Trap isn’t exactly something I get excited over, and it tends to lowers my expectations for what I am about to listen to. Obviously I still decided to give this new original a listen, and I am really glad I did. I love how this track has a real dance vibe and not just some lame repetitious beat to start twerking your face off to. Trap is still hard for me to swallow, but this is something I can see myself enjoying on a daily basis. Mad props to Paper Diamond, Christian Rich, and Angela McCluskey for this dope original. Paper Diamond’s upcoming EP “Paragon” drops April 16th.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Preview | Reso – When It Drop
Posted by Mach on March 25, 2013
Reso has been standing out so much more than he ever has a producer. Not only has his talent been noticed by many more but even when listening to his new tracks I can hear the progression he has made in his skills. “When it Drop” is a grimy Neuro-Hop track. I hope to God that Reso isn’t trolling us when he says this is a freebie for April Fools. I don’t feel like being teased with a track as dope as this.

After recently releasing a dope song/video collab with Chance The Rapper, Gaines is back and this time he brings along Rhymesayers signee, Toki Wright. This track was originally featured on Gaines most recent project, Night Crawler: Reloaded. The video was filmed and edited by NeoFilmMovement as was his previous release.

Hip-Hop | Curren$y – Choosin (FT. Wiz Khalifa & Rick Ross)
Posted by dshaq on January 30, 2013
Curren$y and his pals Wiz and Ricky Rozay all go in on this Lex Luger track slated to be on Spitta’s new mixtape. Dope verses from everybody but Luger steals the show with this beat. Be on the lookout for this mixtape, Curren$y doesn’t disappoint.
Dubstep | Nexus – Supernova
Posted by Jess on January 27, 2013
Recently came across Nexus, an extremely dope producer based out of South Florida. Although released a month ago, his song “Supernova” caught my ear the most (which was premiered recently on VIBE). The melodies in the song are incredible and coupled with the heavy bass, this song is like an unexpected adventure for your ears. I also included his song “Radiant” as a bonus. If you like what you hear, be sure to check out more of Nexus’ music on Soundcloud.
