House, Remix | Birthdayy Partyy Kickoff NBA Season With “Space Jam” Remix

Posted by on October 23, 2019

Birthdayy Partyy are paying homage to two of Chicago’s greatest things at once: The Bulls and House music. With the NBA season just kicking off, “Space Jam” is a real mood and the Chi-Town twins Birthdayy Partyy have really added some bass-boosted adrenaline to the original. Their remix has been teased in their sets this year, but now we get a full version, fleshed out and freely downloadable. With all the dark, spooky tracks coming out, this will be a nice shift for your Halloween playlists to really get the party, or partyy, started.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Lebron’s Rapping and It’s Not an April Fools Joke.

Posted by on April 1, 2014

Lebron Rapping freshnewtracks.com

It takes a lot to wake me a fallen blogstar up from his blog coma.  This my friends, is one exception.   Let me preface…

I’m sitting at my desk, dropping panties with my Excel wizardry, smashing through some emails while simultaneously scrolling through some blogs looking for new beats to feed my ears through the end of the work day.  Some solid tunes along the way, but nothing too face melting for a Tuesday.  Earlier in the morning I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw this tweet from LBJ;

 

 

Joke, right?  The last thing Lebron James should be doing is rapping.  My initial thought was that Lebron was “hosting” a mixtape (in other words slapping his name on it for some seamless promotion), with “features” (meaning guest tracks) from Jay-Z, Drake, Kendrick, etc. Wrong.  WRONG WRONG WRONG, GRUBE.  Four hours later and my ears are literally listening to Lebron rap – my ears.  For those who saw the Jimmy Fallon x Lebron skit know why this news is so disturbing.  I feel violated.

Lebron opens up his “F*ckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt” freestyle with an impression of Bun B, I think?  Lebron, haven’t you learned anything from your predecessors?  A.I., Ron Artest, Shaq, Kobe, Tony Parker, Chris Webber, the list goes on, bro.  You’re trying to be the best ever and you’re dropping corny raps like this?  You’re already one of the most hated players in the NBA from your circus act of a departure from Cleveland to your broken face “incident” earlier this year.  If anything, be like KD and stay under the radar producing.  For the sake of the NBA and more importantly humanity, please do us all a favor and never pick up a mic again.  Ever.  Did Jordan ever rap?  Stupid question.  Sorry Lebron, you can keep rapping about your “2 RINGS” in your 2 Chainz voice, while Bill Russell laughs at your antics while sipping a bourbon browsing Amazon for a ceramic hand to hold his 11th ring.  Don’t worry though…

Electro-House, Progressive House | Rihanna ft David Guetta – Right Now (Remixes)

Rihanna ft David Guetta – Right Now (Remixes)
Pop vixen Rihanna has become one of the leaders in bringing dance music into popular music, for better of for worse, collaborating with Calvin Harris, David Guetta numerous times and on “Right Now” bringing on the talents of Nicky Romero for what he called a “basic” production. While the track has had staying value for radio play and commercially, being an anthem for the NBA playoffs, as a club weapon it needed a facelift and that is exactly what it got from a group of Dutchmen in this remix package.

Dyro does not change too much, but rather adds his own gritty formula that blends with the original melody, beefing up the bass line as a possible track for more commercial audiences. Sick Individuals took more liberties with the track, adding a rolling, pitched bass line and big room synths to make this my favorite of the two, though the Dyro remix has received the brunt of the publicity.

Uncategorized | New Artists: Boy Crisis, Paul Markham, and Adam Tensta

Boy Crisis reminds me of Scissors Sisters but with a slightly more electric vibe. With that said, I’m not too familiar with this electro/band clash genre so my comparison might not be spot on. Either way, the songs below are definitely worth a listen.

Shouts to my Potomac boys for bringing this Swedish electro-rap sensation to my attention. If you’ve played NBA 2K10, this first song might sound familiar.
