Albums, Dubstep, Electro | Doctor P, Liberty, Hirshee, Kids At The Bar | DUBSTEP & ELECTRO
Posted by GMONEY on April 13, 2011
From finals to finalizing summer internships, life has been semi-stressful lately. Locating the perfect loft/apartment for summer partying hasn’t been the easiest process, either. Since I’ve clearly neglected Fresh New Tracks as of late, I decided to throw up a post with my favorite tracks from the past week or two.
Liberty is new on the scene. Composed of two dudes from Los Angeles, Liberty has generated quite the buzz as of lately. Their track “Middle Fingers Up” is an absolute must download. Apparently, the duo dropped the track as part of their upcoming release entitled the “Middle Finger Project.” Check out their Soundcloud for more information.
DOWNLOAD: Liberty – Middle Fingers Up – MUST DOWNLOAD!
The following two heavy dubstep tracks are sweet concoctions– “treats” which incorporate the perfect mixture of bass and “whomps.” How appetizing….

DOWNLOAD: Doctor P – Watch Out
The vocals in the track posted below are insane. This is the sort of music that SHOULD be incorporated in the clubs (although I noticed that, while out in Los Angeles, clubs at least attempted to do so). It has that perfect electro feel and build. The incorporation of dubstep, however, solidifies this track. In my eyes, it deserves an A+….
DOWNLOAD: Hirshee Ft. Tonye Aganaba – So Good
This last track is nothing short of electro ecstasy. Kids At The Bar have done an excellent job remixing The Sound’s latest single, “Something To Die For.”

Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Bijan – Famous for Tonight (feat. Dancernaut) | Dubstep-Hop
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 28, 2011
Bijan and Dancernaut eased their way into the FNT sheets about a month ago and have become quite comfortable around here. While their original tracks sported an indie-hop vibe, their latest project is a trendy blend: one part dubstep and two parts hip-hop (hook and verses). I love the versatility of these two, be sure to check out their latest freestyle here (includes a FNT shoutout). For more information check out Bijan on his Facebook and Twitter and Dancernaut on his Facebook and Twitter.
Hip-Hop, RnB | Brutha – High Is Coming Down ft. Rick Ross & Twista | Hip-Hop
Posted by BIGLIFE on February 21, 2011
When I see features from Rick Ross and Twista on tracks in our inbox, I become starry eyed. Those two never let me down. However, I was slightly skeptical about this previously unbeknownst group of R&B singers who bear most the weight of this track. Fortunately, their talents compliment the other two quite well leaving us with a pretty dope track. For more information check out their Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter. Here’s some information the group sent over to us:
What the music industry has been missing is an R&B group that can perform, sing, and bring good music and excitement back to the groups of yesteryear. R&B group Brutha is here to pick up where Jodeci, Boys II Men, and New Edition left off. After having a hit reality show on BET and the release of their self titled debut album in 2008, Brutha experimented with several sounds which resulted in the recording of their sophomore album Vacancy which features [artists like] R. Kelly, Twista, and Rick Ross… Check out the 2nd single off the Vacancy album titled “High is Coming Down” featured by Rick Ross and Twista.

Albums, Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | CHILL RAP | Hoodie Allen’s “Dreams Up”
Posted by GMONEY on January 18, 2011
Hoodie Allen, the New York based rapper and U-Penn graduate, has graced anxious fans with “Dreams Up,” a new single off his upcoming mix-tape, Leap Year. With lyrics like, “I can dream big, I can dream fast,” Hoodie’s new track demonstrates his classic style with an unconventional and up-beat sound.
I’m sure you’ve heard of Hoodie by now. Pep Rally, the mix-tape he dropped last September, transformed him into an online sensation. With over 17,000 likes on Facebook, Pep Rally had bloggers and fans begging for more.
Sampling Oh Land’s “White Nights,” Hoodie’s “Dreams Up” has, four months later, done it again. Although a release date for Leap Year has yet to be set, Hoodie constantly updates his Facebook with information and will surely let fans know soon.
Hip-Hop | HIP-HOP | Laws presents “Lady Hip Hop” and “Dark and Twisted Freestyle”
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 27, 2010
I’m excited to hear what Laws’ upcoming project has in store for us. I put up the music video to “Runaway” a couple posts down so I wont spam you with it again but be sure to check it out if you haven’t already done so. For more information on this up-and-comer check out his official Myspace page and follow him on Twitter.

Electro | INDIE ELECTRO POP | Atypicals and Breakbot
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 22, 2010
At times our music world seems over run by computer generated sounds that leave little room for raw talent. The purists throw fits while the enthusiasts encourage the growth and development of new sounds, genres, sub-genres, etc. I fall somewhere in the middle, which is why the “Atypicals” piqued my interest. My iTunes library has been long overdue for a new group that utilizes learned instrumental talents to create their works – Ryan Leslie like artists if you will. This Brooklyn based group sports three members who can put on impressive live “band” performances that somehow bring a house dance sound to their speakers. If you’re searching for something refreshingly new, give these guys an ear and be sure to leave your opinion in the comments section of chatbox. For more information check out their Facebook, Twitter or group website.

I live through my iPhone so I found the video above particularly amusing (late on this vid too…). Everyone is always telling about the next best thing (see: Sprint, yes SPRINT HTC) and how its a huge improvement on apples little cash crop. You know what I say to that, don’t talk about the birth just show me the baby. And no one ever does…. funny…
Here are some solid Rap/Hip Hop jams. Goone sent us this steaming track “Take Me Away” – if it makes your ears as happy as mine you can find more music and information at his website and twitter. Sorry about the R Kelly track, I couldn’t resist.
