Apparel | Knot Belt Co KickStarter Campaign
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 28, 2013
Sometimes FreshNewTracks isn’t just about, well, fresh new tracks. And sometimes friends of FreshNewTracks are looking to accomplish huge feats that require help. Well this is where those two roads converge. If you’re a long-time loyal FNT fan, you may remember the gig I did about Knot Belt Co in the past. If not, you’ll get a nice introduction above/below.
Nick Manella of Knot Belts is trying to blow his side project out of the water by pushing his belts and accessories into full production mode. I’m here to help him and help you. The video will fill you in on the details, but there’s nothing like a product that has been made with passion. You can’t tell me you’d wear a belt made in China over a belt made here in the states…
If you’re feeling adventurous, charitable, or intelligent, make a pledge on KickStarter and help bring quality belts to the masses.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Dillon Cooper – Survival Of The Fittest [Music Video]

Dillon Cooper is on the brink of breaking out of his shell – no pun intended (get it? Brink. Brink Brinker. Disney Movie. Rollerblades. Dillon Cooper blades.). Poised with passion, energy, and a special musical blessing, Brooklyn’s own Dillon Cooper shares the first video single off of his forthcoming debut project, Cozmik. Cooper’s musical inspiration is driven by spirit of pro roller blade skater and best friend Brian “Cozmik” Scott, who was tragically murdered during a BK robbery back in 2010.
The 19-year old may have only lived through the tail end of hip-hop’s golden era, but he packs a full flare of raw, 90’s inspiration into his music. A spunky freshness comparable to Bel-Air’s Prince, Cooper showcases his wordplay while staying very animated in front of the camera. Speaking of the camera, “Survival of the Fittest” was directed and edited by Hi-Lite Reel Boston. Stay tuned, big things coming from this young gun.
Cozmik, ??/??/??.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Azad Right – I Luv The Way You Taste (Prod. by Shlohmo)

Mr. Right, it’s been a minute, welcome back sir. “I Luv The Way You Taste”, which is receiving West Coast air time as we speak, marks the first single off Azad’s upcoming project. Despite the suggestively provocative cover art that you may or may not have noticed just yet, Azad insists it’s not as vulgar as one may expect. Haha. All I’ll say is that I wouldn’t suggest sharing this with your pre-teen siblings. With a full plate in 2013 (no pun intended), Azad will surely be turning even more heads than he has in the past couple years. Expect some BIG records from this L.A. sushi connoisseur.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Jared Evan – Letters [Music Video]

In a saturated digital age, we sometimes forget the power of pen on papyrus. In his heartwarming track off his 2012 EP, The 4th Chapter, the NYC native Jared Evan pours his heart onto the paper illustrating his emotions in the form of “Letters”. Coming clean through his gravitating vocals, the multi talented musician reminds us he is a rapper at heart, dropping the third verse in rap form, reiterating his feelings through his newly scripted letters.
There’s a lot on the horizon for Jared. I can tell you for certain he has a joint project on the way with Statik Selektah titled “Boom Bap & Blues” along with some collaborative work with Hoodie Allen and likely another original, solo project.
