Toobe Fresco - "Glory" (The Living Sound Sessions)

November 19, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

After forming a touring band named The Living Sound in 2016, Toobe Fresco releases the first live track from the band titled "Glory". A live instrumentation of the original album version from Toobe's latest effort, "Let Us Dream", "Glory" is lyric heavy track, focusing on direct imagery through story telling. The live instrumentation of this song was recorded with one microphone in one take, then, taken into the studio by Toobe and split into multiple frequency ranges to allow enough freedom to master and mix each frequency to produce a clean, professional product.

Sharif Hassan - "Feeling Myself"

November 10, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

Feeling Myself is a very smooth and melodic track on the Harlem, New York native Sharif Hassan's new EP called "Dear Life". This track is a deep reflection of Sharif's life. Through his powerful lyrics you hear him give a self reflections of the things he is trying to achieve in life, and the hardships he faces trying to be the best artist he can be. This track represents "soul searching" or even a monolog so to speak. A conversation with his own conscious.

Rugby Wild - "Chickenshack"

November 01, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

Rising fast on the West Coast hip-hop scene, 24-year-old Rugby Wild is the kind of artist who was born into his chosen profession: focused, innovative, and driven, he’s launched himself into the national spotlight with infectious tracks that mix fast-moving wordplay with world-class audio and video production. A young rapper who came of age on the avenues of Newark and New York City, Rugby pulls from his own streetwise stories to create high-energy songs with powerful rhymes.

It’s always come naturally to Rugby, and his newest track, “Chickenshack,” off of his forthcoming LP, Millennials, is a perfect example of how everything musical falls into place for the young artist. “Chickenshack” melds the smooth, sophisticated stylings of New York City living with the irreverent swagger of confident youth. The song tracks Rugby’s visits to the City, where culture, art, and an atmosphere of inclusion reign, back home to his neighborhood in New Jersey, where hustle and grit define a different side of life. The finished track, completed after Rugby’s move to Los Angeles, became even more impactful in post-production, when a cross-country move and a plunge into the city’s music scene fostered introspection and continued to develop the song’s unique energy, which unfolds over lilting, soulful production. “Chickenshack” projects the voices of Rugby’s East Coast friends out into the world, providing a space for their narrative to unfold.

“I bring originality,” says Rugby about the track and his new album. “So many artists are trying to make money off of what’s already proven to sell, but you can be original and still get noticed. In this day and age it’s ridiculous to think you have to do what everybody else does. I think my job right now is to be a collage, to show the industry that we don’t all have to do the same thing.”

RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) - "True" (feat. Royce Da 5'9", JMSN & DJ Assault)

November 01, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

Ro Spit & 14KT - "True (feat. Royce Da 5'9", JMSN & DJ Assault)"

 

Before their much anticipated debut album arrives this Friday, RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) connect with fellow acclaimed Michigan natives Royce Da 5’9” and JMSN for a soulful new single, “True.”

 

There’s a deep and potent weight to the track, which stems from RSXGLD’s self-titled album, and it permeates through each element. JMSN, who appeared on lead single “I Believe,” sings his heart out on the chorus that pushes us all to leave the past behind us. And on their verses, Ro and Royce detail their respective come-ups and all they’ve been through to get to where they are today. As Nickel-Nine raps at the end of his bars, “A n***a had negatives but my positive just gon’ have to outweigh it/ N***a, I’m just happy I made it.”

 

“True” hits especially hard because of its musical elements, too, which are brought through the immaculate work of 14KT and guest DJ Assault. You may know Assault for being one of the forebearers of the electro-dance sub-genre of Ghettotech, and he brings that sound straight to the beat on here for track’s second half.

 

“True” represents a musical journey of so much that Michigan has to offer the world, and it’s one hell of a way to get ready for RSXGLD’s impending release.

 

Check out the track, and head over to the retailer of your choice to pre-order RSXGLD, which drops this Friday, Nov 03. In addition to Royce, JMSN and DJ Assault, the 12 track LP also boasts features from Denaun Porter, Elzhi, Ronnie McNeir and more, and will be available in all formats (CD, vinyl, and stream/download), via Fat Beats Records.

Snoh Aalegra - "Sometimes" feat. Logic

October 20, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

Snoh Aalegra’s “Sometimes” feat. Logic

Premieres as Zane Lowe’s World Record on Beats 1.

Stream: SoundCloud / Spotify

Interview: http://apple.co/SnohAalegraSometimes

Snoh Aalegra releases the single “Sometimes” featuring Logic from her forthcoming debut album FEELS, out this Friday, October 20th. The track was featured on Apple Music’s Beats 1 as Zane Lowe’s World Record.

Aalegra says of the track, “’Sometimes’ is about how life points you in different directions though we are all ultimately the master of our own individual destinies. We all have the power to steer the wheel to where we want to take ourselves, but you inevitably have things happen to you that you have no control over. You have to deal with these things whether you like it or not, and you have to readjust, rethink and refocus.”

As or Logic’s involvement, she states, “Logic was the perfect person for this song. I’ve known him since before he put out his first album. We used to record in the same studio years ago with No ID. I think it goes without saying that Logic has a strong and powerful message in his artistic deliveries and has a very beautiful mind. I’m so thrilled to have him be a part of FEELS.”
