Hip-Hop | Kinetics & One Love – What Model Are You?
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 22, 2011
Kinetics & One Love are perhaps two of the most underrated artists we post. Their music consists of clever rhymes and flawless integrations of sounds common to the electro, hip-hop, and rap genres. This duo will rarely leave you underwhelmed, as they are quite comfortable exploring the outskirts of the mainstream realm and aren’t afraid to switch up styles and sounds between their songs. Perhaps that’s what attracts me to their music. The generic sound of music these days has become monotonous, leaving me with a thirst that Kinetics & One Love easily quenches through their distinct tracks. This latest project consists of four new songs. Don’t complain, I gave you the scoop before you opened your iTunes to a few familiar tracks. To be honest, their plan here makes perfect sense. Now that their fan base has doubled a few times over, why not provide the new comers with a chance to visit some of their classics while also providing everyone with a place to download some of their best cuts in one scoop. And if you’re angry about this decision, don’t fret Kinetics & One love has you covered. They are going to drop a part two of this project in a month, which will include all brand new material. Still not satisfied? Well they filmed a video for “Day in the life” (which is on the mixtape) as well as one for “Halley’s Comet 2.0” (filmed on the Great Wall of China) – set to drop on Tuesday.

Hip-Hop | Upper West – Dream Big & Run This Town
Posted by GMONEY on August 8, 2011
Then it comes to new age hip hop, good music that shows up in my inbox is few and far between. Upper West has a super clean and unique flow and their lastest releases are defineitely on point. The first track, Dream Big, is a dope summer anthem which features Skizzy Mars and the second, Run This Town, is a hard hitting, beat bumpin banger. If you are interesting in seeing Upper West live, make sure to check out their show on August 10th at the Canal Room in NYC.

House | dBerrie and Carlos Cid feat. Collin Mcloughlin – Change the Light (Preview)
Posted by GMONEY on July 19, 2011
There’s no denying that this track is going to be epic. With a masterful production team of dBerrie and Carlos Cid coupled with massive vocals from Collin Mcloughlin this song will floor you from the get go. “Change the Light” is slated to be released by Ultra Records later this year, but we managed to pry a preview out of dBerrie…so enjoy, and if you are in NYC this friday then there’s no excuse not to come out and hear this jam take out Pacha’s sound system.

Posted by GMONEY on July 5, 2011
FreshNewTracks is proud to premier the video for “Bazooka” which is off Smokey Robotic’s upcoming album The Shark and The Helicopter available for free this coming Thursday. According to Smokey Robotic,
Bazooka is a bizarre story about two brothers, a madman artist and a Hollywood pop demon. Bent on rescuing his brother from the blindness of material success the artist sets off on a mission equipped with avocado grenades and a banana bazooka.
If you are in the NYC area make sure you come out to Sullivan Hall this thursday for their album release party. For more details check out their facebook.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Gorilla Warfare Tactics – Premier (Mixtape) | HIP-HOP
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 3, 2011
Now this is how you’re supposed to lose your EP virginity. Gorilla Warfare Tactics took the blogoshpere by storm last month with their leaks “Temptations” and “The Tale of Mr. Street” and although the former is probably the best cut off this tape, that certainly doesn’t mean this NYC based trio failed to delivered with the additional 5 tracks. Perhaps these guys will provoke a resurgence of old school hip hop sounds, at least amongst the ever growing population of up-and-coming artists. Head over to Facebook and “like” their Fan Page – their sub-2000 number doesn’t do them justice. (Note: I’ve kept the album art for these tracks/mixtape DL)
