Hip-Hop, Rap | ProbCause & The O’My’s – One of a Kind

Posted by on February 9, 2014

Some of you may remember the name ProbCause from when I tossed up his trippy song and visuals “LSD” featuring Chance The Rapper, a few months ago. He has returned, this time with a new Chicago-bred artist to collaborate with on the single entitled “One of a Kind”.

The O’My’s raspy vocals mixed in with Prob’s smooth delivery lace the jazz-filled production to create a record worth listening to again and again. Donnie Trumpet is to thank for the beautiful brass sounds, but I’m personally glad that all three of the artists teamed up to create such a masterpiece.

Enjoy the free download and don’t take your eye off of Chicago for too long.

Our friends over at Monstercat hit me with a track by UK duo Lets Be Friends “FTW” that is leaving me completely stumped and inspired! Rarely does my jaw drop, and lead me to ask “what the fuck is this?” in the most positive way possible. Lets Be Friends went hard with this production, and as the title states, they went straight for the win! If you happen to add this to your playlist for the car, make sure you check your sped-o-meter, you might catch yourself doing over 100mph and not realize it, that’s how hard this goes. This is hands down a must listen and support by copping it on Beatport!

Progressive House | The Two Friends ft. Jeff Sontag & I Am Lightyear – Brighter

The sweet, sultry, delicate voice of Blair, Leighton Meester’s character in Gossip Girl is the closest parallel I can draw to Jeff Sontag’s vocals in his, I am Lightyear and The Two Friends’ “Brighter”. The two vocalists perform a duet under the moonlight as well as over the production by The Two Friends, making it rather unique. It has a similar feel to many of their previous tracks in that it puts the vocals on display with a soft instrumental and then it turns it up for the build and drop, which again features a light, catchy melody (I guess).

VMan shared this new heater from Timeflies with you yesterday, but if you made the mistake of passing on it, I’m here to give you a chance for redemption.  Feast your eyes on this downhill lyric video, which adds even more life to the adrenaline pounding production.  Chances are this record will be hitting the radio waves soon, so take my advice and grab it while it’s still heating up.

As a follow up to his “All You Need Is Love” remix, Maestro Harrell has taken a spin at remixing Galantis’ “Smile”. Differing in style slightly from his previous remix, he went for a more melodic sound with the use of a big melody that carries the soaring build into the drop. The handling of the vocals and the production behind them is a little weak but the rest of the song is good enough that it is still a nice listen.

It is my honor to introduce Tray Jack and his latest release “Full Blast” to you all. Tray hit me up yesterday with his SoundCloud via my email, and I dig his sound heavy, and you should to. From the production choices, to his flow and lyricism, Tray Jack has it all, and his song “Full Blast” is a catchy mainstream hip-hop record that incorporates the acoustic guitar and some electro vibes. I really hope with this post, Tray’s talents are recognized and his sound makes its rounds in the blogosphere, because he deserves it. This is a must listen and a must download!
