Hip-Hop, Interviews, Rap | Times New Roman talks music, aspirations, and what’s next with FNT

Posted by on November 6, 2013

Before our interview, I honestly had no idea what to expect from Times New Roman. All I knew about him was from his chill, laidback music that I had been listening to as of recently on his SoundCloud and the couple of exchanges we had over some emails prior to the date. As soon as we got the ball rolling though, I knew it was going to be a one of those interviews that would take its natural course. Of course, I already had some preset questions that I wanted to get answered along the way, but as far as formal conversations go, this was not one of them. Times New Roman, formally known as William Bolton, was more than eager to share talks about life, girls, music, and more. Currently residing in Chestnut Hill, MA attending Boston College as a sophomore, William lives a healthy balance between goals and reality, but is more than focused on his career as Times New Roman to blend the two together. Our interview flowed smoothly as ever, but here are the main questions that everyone should know the answer to when it comes to Times New Roman, which include his major musical influences, his aspirations, and what’s next.

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!

Stwo - Syrup

HW&W Recordings just released an interview they did with Stwo along with this ever sweet original, “Syrup”. Now I won’t condone sippin’ some sizzurp, but Stwo delivers yet again with a must have track. The interview itself is actually an enjoyable read and an interesting insight into the mind of the up and coming Hip-Hop/R&B/Trap producer. Just got off work? Hit play on this and drift into that weekend state of mind.

Chill, Electronic | Justin Bieber – Hold Tight (Figgy Remix)

Posted by on October 29, 2013

Ok – so I said I won’t be posting much Justin Bieber, but this track is pretty cool. Figgy flipped “Hold Tight” into a sexy, smooth chill track and lowered the vocals a notch or two. Figgy did some pretty clean drum work on this track, and it’s well put together. Even if you’re not a Bieber fan, this flip is pretty cool. Grab it for free on Facebook!

Albums, Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Rameses B – Timeless EP

Posted by on October 28, 2013

You can always count on Rameses B to release top quality work. This EP, called “Timeless”, does not disappoint. It features two drum and bass tracks, one more ambient track, and one melodic dubstep track. Being the chill music lover that I am, I’d pick “Never Forget” and “Underwater ft. Meron Ryan” as favorites, but really all the tracks are great. Check it out on Beatport below!

When I’m waiting for the video to load or am just not pleased with what I’m coming across that day I’ll usually take a 5 minute break to collect myself, maybe drink a pineapple smoothie or something and then see if anything good had been uploaded to Soundcloud since I last checked it 10 minutes ago. Today there was, and it was actually exceptionally good. Practically every track Steerner releases is amazing and this one is no different. A remix of Sub Focus’ “Turn Back Time” is what his latest work is and it has that high energy, upbeat sound that is synonymous with all his productions. It’s free so, as if you didn’t already know, it’s a must listen and must download!!!

Progressive House | EDX – Hyped

EDX Hyped

EDX is known for his silky smooth progressive tracks. With “Hyped” he continues that trend of lush pads and evocative plucks, but adds a subtle break of a deep low end, to contrast the synth work throughout. Grab the latest from Swiss machine EDX and be ready be ready for more from him in the near future.
