Video: Dead Times - "Centuries"

Friday, May 17, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

I'm always into artists or groups who aren't afraid to expand on a common genre, like the new surge of R&B music. LA duo Dead Times are doing it right and create a warm, yet relaxed feel on the song "Centuries." The pair returns with this song and release a new video, which is a time-lapsed visual of a woman dancing. I think it captures the vibe of the song quite well. Check it out below.

Gilbere Forte – PRAY (Mixtape)

Thursday, May 16, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Over the last week or so we got a taste of Philly rapper Gilbere Forte's new music from his PRAY mixtape. It was sounding pretty damn good and I was looking forward to hearing the whole project, which is now out. This tape features ten tracks and guest appearances from Active Child, De Carlo, and Nylo. You can stream the entire thing below and if you are feeling it, you can download for free right here.

JMSN – Live At Red Bull Studios (EP)

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

One thing I have to respect about Red Bull, is they seem to have their hands (or wings) in everything and anything cool. Their was some recent video of JMSN performing live at the Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles with a full live band. Yet, he decided to not only release that song, but the full session as a free live EP to download, or to purchase on iTunes if you are feeling generous. The 5 songs he performed all can be found on his debut album †Priscilla†. Stream and download the live session below.

Disclosure ft. Eliza Doolittle – "You & Me" (Baauer Remix)

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Yeah yeah yeah, I know this song was all over the web yesterday but I wanted some time to actually listen to Baauer's full remix of Disclosure and Eliza Doolittle's "You & Me." I wasn't sure what to expect, but when the song came to an end I found myself really enjoying it. On this remix, Baauer adds in some trap flare and increases the pitch of the vocals, creating a whole new fast-paced dance environment. He also shows us that he is more than just the viral hit of "Harlem Shake," which although I knew the talents were there, I could tell it would take some convincing for others. Stream below.

Beau Young Prince - "Roll Bounce"

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

If there is one thing I can count one, it's that DMV rapper Beau Young Prince will always provide a smooth new banger, which is what he did on "Roll Bounce." This has those summertime grooves that will have you rolling your windows down, bumpin' those speakers, and just cruising into the night. His flow is a solid fit for the crisp production from Kings and I hope these guys can link up in the near future. Stream and download below.

Ryan Hemsworth - "Perfectly"

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Just when you think a new week will go by without a Ryan Hemsworth tune, he goes and releases something else to lift my spirits. This time an original song called "Perfectly," which will be off his upcoming EP, Still Awake, out next week. The light and atmospheric track is a perfect transition for this warm weather and showcases more of the talents from the Canadian producer. Stream below.

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Everyday Struggle" (Dead Battery Remix)

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

I'm usually slightly skeptical of remixes of any Notorious B.I.G. remixes, but Austrian producer Dead Battery did a solid job on the classic "Everyday Struggle." On his version he leaves the powerful lyrics and flow from the master emcee, but spins it with some heavy bass and a new piano arrangement. If you are looking for a new party song or something to add to a mix, then this would probably be a good choice. Stream and download below.

Andrea - Cruising (EP)

Monday, May 13, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Let's be honest for a minute, we all know the start to a new week can suck. But Andrea's new Cruising EP will relax you and help you appreciate a new day. It's been a steady rise for the Parisian producer who found some notice remixing some tunes, but it's the chillwave originals that will send crisp vibes throughout your body.

Yet, there is more to his formula than chillwave, with a ton of experimental and use of sounds that form a cohesive listen. This was released May 12th via Moose Records, and I think is something you guys will truly enjoy. Stream below.

Gilbere Forte – "Anigma"

Monday, May 13, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Gilbere Forte is just two days away from dropping his new project PRAY, but shared a new track called "Anigma." This song ain't no joke, bringing some rough bars over a harsh beat featuring a vocal sample that gives it that extra spice. Forte sounds super hungry on the last track or two from this project, so I'm certainly pretty interested in hearing the whole record. Stream below.

Video: Bad Rabbits - "Can't Fool Me"

Monday, May 13, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Boston natives Bad Rabbits are back with a new video for their recent single "Can't Fool Me." This song will be on their new record called American Love, which is out tomorrow and you all better get yourself a copy. These guys bring the funk, alternative, R&B, and attitude in each song and I'm amazed that these guys haven't blown up. Oh, they are gaining popularity and people are catching on, but these guys are too fucking legit to not be dominating the music charts.

The video is pretty standard, but has enough style and coolness to reflect the song perfectly. I don't think these guys ever make music short of fresh. Check it out below.

PARTYNEXTDOOR – "Wus Good / Curious"

Monday, May 13, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

Drake and OVO affiliated artist PARTYNEXTDOOR dropped off a new song this weekend called "Wus Good/ Curious," which he also produced. As a similar fashion to The Weeknd when he first popped in the scene, there is still a bit of mystery behind this artist and not much is really known. However, that seems to be somewhat of an alluring feature along with the good music. Stream and download the jam below.

Video: Lana Del Rey - "Young & Beautiful"

Friday, May 10, 2013 Todd Kunsman No comments

We've already been able to stream Lana Del Rey's contribution to the Great Gatsby soundtrack with a song called "Young & Beautiful," but now she shares the visual for it. Directed by Chris Sweeney, he creates a vintage atmosphere featuring Lana in a 1920's dress along with a full orchestra backing her up. The whole look and vibe of the video is a solid match to the emotion of the song. Watch below.
