Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | Scolla – Peace

Posted by on October 22, 2013

scolla - peace

Clocking in at two minutes, thirty-two seconds, my initial reaction to Scolla’s “Peace” was: “I want more!” The soulful hip-hop track pulls you in with soothing vocals that you hope never leave your ears, and keeps you interested when Scolla’s deep and choppy verse appears.

Like many of us, Scolla asks for peace and love. A message clearly reflected in his music within the subtle tones and gentle lyrics. I highly recommend giving “Peace” a listen, as well as perusing the rest of Scolla’s RLES crew. The album OG Cool is on the way, so be sure to check back in for that.

Enjoy!

Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Dee Brown – A Dying Man

Posted by on October 21, 2013

When I first started blogging for Filthy Slaps, I came in contact with Dee Brown because his lyrics really reached out to me. As an avid lover of the hip-hop culture, Dee really takes advantage of the darkness and stamina that a lot of rappers forget surrounds hip-hop. Of course hip-hop songs can be fun and uplifting, but it all originated from the reality of having struggles. This is apparent in ‘A Dying Man’; though the lyrics are deep and the message is blatant, he reaches into something more and I really appreciate the music. He’s had a long absence from FNT, but with his newest drop of his album ‘DEREK‘, Dee Brown is back.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Selah the Corner & Bizzle – Foreign Exchange

For anyone who is into Drake’s newest album drop, you will appreciate this re-do of his beat. The lyrics in this song really got me, and that is why I loovveeeee hip-hop. Such a good voice throughout this beat and Selah the Corner & Bizzle really hit it on the head. Take a listen.

Tajan has been absolutely killing it lately with his quasi-ambient, hip-hop spin on tracks. His newest remix of Black Bear’s “Laid Out” is absolute quality, and will definitely give you the feels. The original (which can be found HERE) is already a solid track, and with Tajan’s influence, becomes an even better listen. Oh, by the way, he’s only 17. Make sure to take a listen below.

Okay, so I know a lot of covers and remixes of this song have been exponentially blogged on every single site but for the sake of this one, this remix is going up. It’s of the best integration of Hip Hop and R&B that I’ve heard in awhile, and lets be honest, the original is pretty catchy to begin with. Check it.
