Hip-Hop | Trey Palms- Spinning
Posted by Juicebox on October 13, 2010
Trey just hit me with this exclusive. If you’re not already familiar, Trey Palms is an up and coming rapper hailing from Loyola who has been taking the blog game by storm. He’s essentially come out of no where and has been steady killing it. If you’re curious, a loyal Fresh New Tracks follower from Melbourne by the name of “M. Kardon” created this dope graphic and was gracious enough to send this over to us.
Dubstep, Electro | Fresh New Tracks Apparel Update…
Posted by Juicebox on October 11, 2010
Ladies and Gentlemen…it’s that time again. Fresh New Tracks went ahead and doubled the number of tanks we ordered, added two new colors (one shown above), and even added a new slogan on the back for those who live by the FNT lifestyle…”Dark Days Bright Nights”. Due to a number of complaints were making an announcement now that the tank tops will go live for sale wednesday at 11am (Pacific Standard Time). Were having a contest as to whoever can guess the closest to how long it takes us to sell out of them, last time it was 8 hours. Winner gets a free hat…place your bets in the comment section! Oh and here’s some new Deadmau5.

Dubstep, Electro | Bassnectar – Wildstyle Method
Posted by Juicebox on October 10, 2010
Fresh New Tracks visited downtown Los Angeles last night and had one of the most mind blowing experiences…ever. Bassnectar live is unexplainable. Living in Los Angeles and Denver I’ve had my mind blown by several top performers, Armin Van Buren, Benassi, & Kaskade to name a few…but none of their sets compare to what Bassnectar provides. If you’ve seen Bassnectar live, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Bassnectar is like Biglife’s abs, you just have to see them in person to understand. As we like to say here at Fresh New Tracks, my ears are still wet from last night.

Videos | Chris Webby – Raising the Bar Part 2
Posted by Juicebox on October 7, 2010
I’ve held my tongue for too long about Chris Webby. Frankly, I didn’t want to give him the time of day. I’m not really into supporting artists who are self proclaimed junkies. That’s just not really my cup of tea. Plus, I don’t like he how plays the, “I’m so poor card, when my album comes out, please buy it”. Take that low class narrow minded nonsense somewhere else. We get it. You’re an up and coming white rapper with a “hood” complex. Yada Yada Yada.
Then, I come across another illogical thrown together rant on GMAD. Listen up, don’t insult everyone’s intelligence with, “It’s just a joke…”. Are you kidding me? Who else would he be talking about? Mike Jones? Save it. This is yet another desperate attempt to gain attention by a rapper who makes less per show, is less marketable, and has terrible management.
Everyone always loves to hate on Fresh New Tracks for sticking up for Sam. They say, “Why are you on Sam’s jock”? Let me tell you something playboy, we’re not on his jock. We’ve been down since day one. Not only is he someone we admire musically, he is someone who we consider to be a personal friend. We’ve known him way before this music thing. What would you do if you saw somebody putting down your friend? You would do what every decent friend would do and step in and stick up for them.
The main contention between Sam Adams and Chris Webby is that Sam Adams lacks lyrical content. News flash! Sam Adams doesn’t claim to be a lyrical rapper. He’s pop rap. People think they’re criticizing him when they say that. Show me a hit song with Chris Webby on it. Show me a song that’s been featured regularly on MTV. Show me a song that appeals to both girls and guys on a national stage. Show me something that has radio potential. I just don’t see it in his music. Chris Webby’s “bottom feeder” mentality rap is wearing thin and is frankly losing my interest and the interest of labels.
Bottom line, Sam Adams gets a lot of hate. However, at the end of the day you have to ask yourself, “Who is more successful”? When it comes to success, Chris Webby can’t even hold a candle. Is Chris Webby talented? Of course he is. Is he destined to remain a gully bottom feeder rapper that gains moderate notoriety? Perhaps. I just can’t stand the constant barrage of hate towards Sam Adams when Chris Webby has accomplished only half of what he has. Stop with the shots Chris. Not only does it make you look desperate, it speaks volumes about your character.
Fresh New Tracks opinions do not represent those of Sam Adams or 1st Round Records.
