Hip-Hop | YoAstrum – A Day’s Worth
Posted by admin on January 7, 2014
While perusing my SoundCloud stream I recently stumbled upon an emcee I was previously unacquainted with: YoAstrum. The New Jersey resident caught my attention with his unique voice and ability to lace a Mr. Carmack production with such grace. The instrumental was an absolute gem to begin with, so it was safe to say that I was initially nervous to hear whether or not it was done justice. Thankfully, it was, and thus began my thirst for YoAstrum music.
Keep up on Twitter and let me know what you think of the song. Stay tuned for much more in the near future!
Alternative, Chill, Indie | Jackson Breit – Other Side Of The World
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 23, 2013
Following Jackson Breit’s take on Forgot About Dre a few weeks ago, he takes us into the holidays with a slow love song he wrote when his girlfriend went abroad. Although this is different than most of his past releases, this one still carries his signature production and style. As usual, Jackson gives away a Free DL!

WOW, just WOW! And another great track that forces to me to remove one from my top 10 list of 2013 to include this one. Swedish artist Seinabo Sey’s “Younger” is a masterpiece, from the songwriting, to the production, this track has it all. For her second track made public, I can only imagine what is to come. You’re going to want to do yourself a favor and stream this record, Seinabo in my opinion is in the ranks of Adele and Emeli Sande, and I stand behind my words. This is a must listen!

Krono always delivers with the music, and this time they linked up with the duo VanJess to layer vocals on an original production of theirs “Redlight.” Different from their regular upbeat sound, they went the chill rout with this one, and it works perfectly. Other then the fact that I’m ready to sleep from a long day at work, this track is perfect to relax to, and zone out. This is my first time hearing VanJess and man these girls can sing. Check out their YouTube channel for more tracks from the Nigerian sisters! This is a must listen and a must download!

How fitting for throwback Thursday, 21 year old DJ/Producer Shmallen releases “Tell Me” a deep house record that samples the popular Destiny’s Child track “Independent Women,” morphing Beyonce’s vocals for extra effect. The production is silk, and one thing’s for certain, this tune was made to dance sexy to with the lights off. If you’re about that deep house life, consider yourself served, and make sure you add this one to your playlist. This is a must listen and a must download!

Chill, RnB | Love Mansuy – White Heaven

The homie Lloyd hit me with Love Mansuy’s latest single “White Heaven” and I’m a fan. The single is off Love’s upcoming project Barely Legal, and was produced by Balsam. The production sold me on this track as it has a new age R&B feel, which Mansuy has no problem vibing off with his vocals and emotions. I’d love to hear a down tempo remix of this record, or any remix at all as it has superb vocals, and an instrumentation that can be taken many ways. Follow the Montreal artist Love Mansuy on Facebook, and get that free download!

Chill, Pop | PATRÌCE – Can You Hear Me Dreaming

Last month I featured a remix by SG Lewis of UK artist Patrice and I made sure to let him know to keep in touch. He hit me up with this original track, and I’m not going to lie, at first it took me a few plays to get into it, but after the 4th or 5th play it grew on me. From the 80’s pop influenced production to Patrice’s unique vocals, this track makes for a chill pop record filled with passion and soul. This is a must listen, happy Monday!
