Hip-Hop, Videos | Little Pain – High Cry (Official Music Video)
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 18, 2013
I just read a pretty interesting write up on “Sad Rap” , and it seems like Little Pain is leading the revolution. Little Pain comes to you from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. At age of 21 Pain has only been rapping for about 4 or 5 months but has been “sad my whole life”. Pain is working on his “sadtape” entitled “When Thugz Cry” due out in 2013. One of the more interesting things to come out of hip hop, curious to see whats next for Little Pain.

While royalty is rarely served on a silver platter, NY native, Kurt Rockmore has his sights set on a gold plated crown. Early in 2013, Kurt released his debut project, Red Carpet Ignorance, which illustrates his opening with red carpet treatment. The project is sealed off with an outro track entitled “To Be King”. Above are the corresponding visuals featuring grammy nominated singer/songwriter Golden Chyl, as they collectively question what it takes to be king. Be on the lookout for Kurt touring the nation with Mike Stud.

Progressive House | Henrik B, Niklas Gustavsson, Peter Johansson – Echoes
Posted by Middy on May 21, 2013
Henrik B has the release rate of the glacial Swedish weather he inhabits. However, with that slow pace of releases, he makes each one count, a fact that forces you to cherish each and every track from the underrated Swede. He also happens to be one of the funniest DJs on Facebook / Twitter, so he makes up for the lack of releases with his quality posts. The witty, social media savvy producer tabs fellow Swedish producer Niklas Gustavsson and vocalist / dancer Peter Johansson to craft this melodically rich track that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish with fast paced synth chords, euphoric key play and an ideal vocal sample from The Police that brings the whole track together.
Henrik B has a whole host of tracks in the works, including several more with Niklas Gustavsson, something we cannot wait to hear, especially after what “Echoes” brings to the table. He also looks for redemption after missing out on the opportunity to collaborate with Avicii on what became “Levels“, as they are in the early stages of another track that will hopefully be out this decade.

Hip-Hop | e-dubble – Big Ships
Posted by W8 on May 3, 2013
I’m not really trying to hear people’s talking heads anymore than at all throughout the day, and so I tend to sway from hissing vocals on just about everything I listen to. That said, there’s an occasional wordsmith like E-dubble that neatly embroiders lyricism into a beat like an instrument, and that sounds right.

Allow me to christen your lobes with the sounds of 1st Round Record’s newest artist, Bridge.
