There's something I really dig about this track from Roman Austin out of Sacramento, California. He takes on the unlikely "The Ascension" from Maxwell and lays bars over it. It definitely has that West Coast sound and it's fresh. Enjoy.
Ni Taylor lays down some solid verses on "No Prisoners", produced by J. Rhodes. The track has this old school chill vibe to it, as Ni Taylor drops heartfelt lyrics reflecting on Hip-Hop and her role in the genre. Solid. I dig it. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
Another solid offering from FreshNerd, this time taking on Eddie Murphy's solo album. I've been vibing to this joint on and off since it dropped yesterday. Sit back and enjoy some solid beats and some classic comedy. Chea!
This was a bit of a challenge to say the least. For those of you that have not heard Eddie's debut album 'How Could It Be', its a treat. The way he goes from gospel driven tunes to "Party All the Time" with Rick James is magical (Stevie Wonder even co-wrote several songs on here)....which leaves one to wonder if Eddie was serious or not with this release. Either way, he couldn't escape FreshNerd's chopping board.
Not only did Fresh chop the sh*t out of this record properly turning each song into a forehead bangin' beat, but as well some clips from Eddie's classic standup 'Raw' and some explicit bars to start off the tape from Orlando up and comer (originally from Michigan), Joose.
Torae lays out a lot of what ifs on the Large Professor produced "Do The Math" off his upcoming project, For The Record, due out November 1st. Definitely a solid joint that leaves you wondering. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
One shot. One rapper. One beat. With Manny Fresco behind the lens, Brooklyn's Dom O Briggs takes on the Ski Beatz beat to prove he's Better Than You with the single off of his newest project A Gemini's Tale. It's solid. Hit play and enjoy.
I caught this joint over at iheartdilla.com from Green Street featuring Fresh Daily off of their Don't Look Down project. Fresh track and a very chill video. I dig it. Enjoy. Chea!
Stephon as Cee Lo Green? Oh. That's believable (and by believable I mean not at all). At least that brother is getting work. Right? Ha! Check out the visuals for "Cry Baby". By the way, what year does Cee Lo think it is?
Why would you break Melanie Fiona's heart? Damn. Got her sitting up at 4am waiting for some ain't shit dude to return home. That's a shame. Mel, call a brother and let's figure out your heartbroken situation. I mean, you're pouring out your heart to some negro who's probably out with a dancer while we could be pouring out a glass of wine with some cheese and crackers. I'm high class. Allegedly, of course. Ha! Anyway, check out the latest from Fiona off her upcoming The MF Life, due out October 25. In the meantime, feel her pain.
New York emcee PremRock and producer Willie Green are at it again. After working together on Prem's debut album the build, the duo link up for a new full project, which will be released via Isolated Wax Records and feature C-Rayz Walz, Soul Khan, Open Mike Eagle and Has-Lo. They'll be following the September 28th release with an international tour, with US dates late September and European dates in October. In the meantime, check out the first cut from the project that I'm definitely looking forward to. Enjoy. Chea!
And to think this is technically one of the throwaway tracks considering it won't be featured on Geeter's upcoming project with Canadian producer Ritchcraft. As part of the promo for the upcoming project, they unleashed "Intimidation", a strong cut from the now Halifax, NS emcee by way of Montgomery, Alabama. It's a solid track. I'm definitely looking forward to his project. Enjoy this joint in the meantime. Chea!
Mondays always start a little slower for me. And that's reflected in the first half of Ep 66, which kicks off with a fresh instrumental from the homie Jinesis off of The Mad Bloggers presented Otisis. Frank Ocean also gets a little burn early and late, plus a dope track from MC Melodee out of Amsterdam. It's another fresh episode and as always I hope it kick starts your week. Enjoy. Chea!
