Albums, Hip-Hop | CJ Trillo – Volume 1: Nostalgia
Posted by LoffyG on November 5, 2013
Nearly 2 years ago one of our writers, W8, introduced me to a very dope and underrated artist that is CJ Trillo. Ever since then, I’ve kept CJ projects in heavy rotation due to his pure lyrical originality and smooth productions, which are for the most part created by his right hand man, Jim IE. Today he released his fourth project, Volume 1: Nostalgia. CJ said that this project is everything in him that he’s wanted to release, but was always too self-conscious to in the past. He’s finally reached the point in his artistic career where he’s grown past the concern of how other people view him. With that being said, he has finally allowed himself to vocalize and create all the ideas and vibes he’s wanted to since he first started rapping back in 2009. Listen and download the full project below and get to know CJ in this recent interview about Volume 1: Nostalgia.

Them Jersey boys I.O.U. are back with a new single “I Refuse” sampling the Temptations and the dance classic “Zombie Nation” and though they haven’t made any official announcements, I have a feeling a project is in the works, it’s been too long that we’ve gotten a mixtape from the Rutgers boys. They’ve been working though that’s for sure, peep the official remix of Ayah Marar’s Beg Borrow Steal done by Izee (1/2 of the duo, Buck‘s the other guy), and make sure you listen and get this free download! One thing I must say, we gotta work on your cover arts my Gs!

Interviews | FreshNewTracks Sits Down With….PropaneLv
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 24, 2013
Portland’s PropaneLv is on the rise. His “Varsity Blues” project has taken the blogosphere by storm, and he’s on a meteoric rise. We sat down with the budding hip-hop sensation to talk “Varsity Blues”, money, and who his four wives would be if he were a polygamist.
1. Who is PropaneLv?
I think he’s still just a guy trying to find his path in life. I’ve always felt a little off and I still can’t escape that feeling. When making music I feel at home, but everything outside of that still hasn’t come together for me.

Posted by LoffyG on October 22, 2013
After releasing a handful of free mixtapes and too many singles to count, Huey Mack’s debut album Pretending Perfection is now on iTunes. Over the course of the past 7 months he has been putting in everything he has into creating this project. There is no doubt he has grown as an artist since the days of Bright Lights And Long Nights and Freshman 15. Just look at the constant growing number of fans. The great thing is he has done it all without the help of a label, tour manager or booking agent. Just him and the fans who love what he does. Stream the full album below and support by purchasing it on iTunes!

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Young California: League of Starz – Function Music (LOS.FM)
Posted by yabishcic on October 16, 2013
I wasn’t born into the Bay Life, nor did I even know about it until living in San Francisco for some time. But being a music fanatic has really turned me onto the hyphy music that the Bay Area has to offer. Most people are completely oblivious to the deep-based, heavy hi-hatted beats that most rappers in California love on the low. If you’re a fan of Bay music, well then here’s a mixtape to function to. Including a mix of BIG headliners, League of Starz comes with nothing but bangers with all your favorite artists from Young California. If you are not familiar yet the League, it’s a family of Southern California producers responsible for a lot of your favorite party hits in the last couple of years. The project features 2 Chainz, Tyga, IAMSU, Problem, Clyde Carson, and has co-signs from Snoop Dogg, E-40, and a DJ Amen. Californian’s will know exactly what I’m talking about – for everyone else, take notes. This is the future of party music.
Luckily, this project is FREE FREE FREE. Go to the download here.

Hip-Hop, Rap | OnCue – Way Too Far
Posted by admin on October 12, 2013
With Angry Young Man in its imminence, OnCue continues to build the hype surrounding it with yet another single. “Way Too Far” is a ballad of Cuey’s endless work and the significant impacts that it’s been having on his life. The song certainly encapsulates the spirit of an angry young man, as each line is spit with an unmatched conviction and emotion.
OnCue has yet to give us a set release date for his forthcoming project, however, it was said to be released sometime this month. Whether that release date is abided by or we have to hold off a little longer, I’m sure I speak for many when I say that AYM will be worth the wait.
Enjoy the incredibly well produced “Way Too Far” and grab the free download courtesy of OnCue’s SoundCloud.
