Call it a hiatus, a sabbatical, a comeback, a leave of absence; however you may see it, Azad Right is back like he never left.  The expectations from hip-hop artists has shifted over the past 5-7 years.  Fans expect new music and they expect it often.  Azad took a step back to catch his breath after coming out of the gates with fire.  Time to analyze, work, focus his sound, perfect his craft.  “Now I Know” is a compilation of thoughts, emotions, & knowledge obtained during his time off.  With production from his right hand man, Jason Marquez, who crafted a bellowing beat that kicks Azad’s music career back on track.

Bootleg, Electro | Danny Brown – Dip (Ghost Hunna Bootleg)

Posted by on October 24, 2013

ghost hunna dip

Some of you probably remember a few weeks back when I unleashed “Look Out!” to the FNT readers, a bass-heavy medley from NYC producer, Ghost Hunna. Well, Yung Hunna -no affiliation to Yung Humma– has returned to blow our minds once more.

This go-round Hunna steers away from his original production and hops aboard Danny Brown’s eccentric, “Dip”, in an attempt to make it even more outlandish. And, folks, he accomplished the impossible. The only element which you should expect in this bootleg is the element which you least expected. “Dip” is all across the board, complete with broken chords and a pounding UK-style bass line perfect for the club, car, or kitchen.

Albums, Bass, Electronic | Run DMT – Starlight Ft. Betty Black : The Remixes

Posted by on October 17, 2013

This remix EP showcases four dimensions of an extremely powerful song. The original by RUN DMT is deep and heavy, beautifully coordinating Betty Black’s spectral vocals with big driving bass, distant guitar chords and awesome synth plucks. The Kodak To Graph remix is a chilled out and trapped up version that adds sounds reminiscent of Phonat’s style – very cool. Now to the hard hitters. The Dirt Monkey remix is loud and angry. It adds huge, harsh sounds that create an edgy, rough feel while still maintaining some of that juicy emotion from the original. Now, for the remix that, for the time being, comes out ahead as my favourite on the EP. The SPL version starts out with an ambient intro, introducing wicked saxophone sounds. The vocals are whispered into focus and the energy is built up to the mad drum and bass segment that is bursting with energy.  The vocal verse is introduced at the perfect moment in this segment, and is used to carry you through to the next drop which takes on another beat entirely. The remix is epic, really a blast to listen to, and the whole EP is a treat. Literally a treat, as in all of the four massive songs are free to download.

Hip-Hop | G-Eazy – Gotta Go (feat. BEND / Daniel Johnston)

Posted by on October 15, 2013

G-Eazy’s been on the fast track ever since he started his music career. His music has stayed relatively to his style as his path down the winding road is slowly building, but this single of all single’s has got to be my favorite. It’s the perfect blend of alternative and hip-hop that makes it an enjoyable listen while still allowing your ears to really listen to what he has to say. Definitely take a peak at this since it didn’t make that track list on his upcoming album!
