WSTRN - "Love Struck"

April 04, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Reggae

Platinum selling London based collective, WSTRN are back! Today they have unveiled their striking new single ‘Love Struck’ featuring a stellar line up of Tiwa Savage and Mr Eazi.

With vocal duties stemming from inimitable afro beat stars, Mr Eazi and Tiwa Savage, ‘Love Struck’ is released via Atlantic Records and sees the collective take it back a notch whilst retaining their matchless, experimental sound - something for which has seen the group become one of the most credible propositions within British music.

Currently in the studio working on their next project, the collective have had demand from some of the hottest producers over recent months including Dallas Austin (TLC), Felix Snow (Kiara), Bless Beats (Jess Glynne) and Tinie Tempah. Anchoring their supple vocals over bold pop tunes with magnetic hip-hop leanings, WSTRN are a distinctly British breath of fresh air; an exuberant talent destined for chart domination.

L8loomer - "SFWU"

April 04, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap

L8LOOMER's recent single "Good for That" was a look into what this hip-hop artist has on the horizon. Back with a new single from his forthcoming mixtape, L8LOOMER's "SFWU " (Still Fuck With You) is a personal outcry of being stuck in a toxic love.

" SFWU " is an anthem for couples that have been through hell and back but above all else redefine the term "love/hate relationship" in something positive. L8LOOMER dives into his experience with battles of love almost as if he's flaunting his war wounds. A classic hip-hop track with some r&b elements, "SFWU" takes the pressure off of the struggles of hard love and makes it an upbeat and fun sing-along.

Saint Cassius ft. OTC & Omari Hardwick - "Analog Dreams"

March 27, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap, Soul

Born in Hip Hop's birthplace and raised in the capital of the Dirty South, Saint Cassius is an artist that lives in the paradox of northern rap's lyricism and the cadence and emotion of southern hip hop.

Saint Cassius was born in Bronx, New York and soon following the death of his mother at 8 months moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout his life, Cassius found himself between the two cities that hip hop calls home and would shape his unique musical point of view and style.

Influenced by the lyrics of Nas, the artistry of Andre 3000, and the business acumen of Jay-Z - Saint Cassius brings a fresh perspective to subject matters affecting urban life in America. He currently owns Leila’s Jukebox, a New York based studio two blocks from Madison Square Garden that has become the hotbed for the cities biggest artists & most influential tastemakers.

His debut project ANALOG is a contemporary ode to the classic hip hop era and showcases his ever evolving musicianship. He shows off his appreciation for women on smooth Ro James collaboration “Hey Beautiful Girl” and the jazz infused “Analog Dreams” touches subjects including the value of trap music, net neutrality and features actor/artist Omari Hardwick. The project is led by the production of legendary hitmaker DJ Toomp and also features tracks from JF Clay as well.

ANALOG is available on all music platforms March 2nd.

Travy P - "Mistakes" featuring I.E.

March 24, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap, Autotune

Following the success of his POINT EP, which was released via WVS in mid-2017, Brisbane rapper Travy P has returned with a brand new single, MISTAKES, featuring Sydney songwriter and label-mate I.E..

The grand, introspective new banger has Travy P lending a slick, melodic flow over the gloomy production, reflecting on his past, present and future moods either side of the enigmatic I.E. hooks.

Travy P is undoubtedly one of the countries most exciting new urban talents, and MISTAKES only further broadens the eccentric emcee’s wide-ranging catalog of hits.

MISTAKES is a heavy, yet honest new anthem that marks a successful return to the spotlight for Travy P in 2018.

Blastar (Feat. Lorelle Howard) - "So Cold"

March 10, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music

https://open.spotify.com/album/106v33UizBmizqcubjMnpw

Born in Paris, originating from the West Indies Blastar began to work on music at a young age on a Bontempi synthesizer (90's model). At 6 years old, he could play already by ear. His father used to say he has a gift. His first songs were influenced by black and world music. As the years went on, he developed a certain versatility to his music. He's able to compose Rap, R&B, Pop, Dancehall ...etc. By the age of 19, the best french Caribbean music label proposed a collaboration to him to work on several projects for some of the biggest West Indian artists (Admiral T, Krys). The style of Blastar took shape as he mixed hip-hop and world music vibes in his compositions.

In 2006, he met one of the most influential hip-hop managers named Oumar Samake (a.k.a. Oumardinho) and together they created the french famous indie label Golden Eye Music which will reveal talented artists like Joke, Dosseh and Dinos. This entity would allow Blastar to develop his music, sign with Universal Music Publishing and work with french multi-platinum artists such as Diam's, Rohff, La Fouine, Mac Tyer, 113, Sofiane, Vitaa and many others. French urban artists have come to appreciate his style. His discography has more than 80 songs and he has even been able to crossover and collaborate Joke and Pusha T, Leck and Tyga, Fedia and Beenie Man.

In 2017, Blastar plans to release his first solo project which "A Gynois Story" will feature upcoming international artists like Kenny Vulcan (UK), Lorelle Howard (US), Gracy Hopkins (Europe) and many more. His latest venture is a remix of "MATH" by the talented soul singer Quiñ from L.A.

AKS - "Real Deal" (feat. Obenewa)

March 08, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

South London Hip-Hop artist, AKS, teams up with the soulful songbird, Obenewa (Huxley, Walter Ego), for the soul-stirring new single, “Real Deal” taken from his critically acclaimed sophomore EP, Train of Thought, which earned the rapper two nominations at the inaugural Unsigned Music Awards and has been supported by BBC 1xtra, The Source, Earmilk, DJ Booth and Radar Radio amongst others.

Produced by frequent collaborator DemDrums (PartyNextDoor, EA Games, Joe Grind), Real Deal paints a vivid image of AKS’ thoughts on the landscape of music and his longing for honesty and authenticity from his artistic counterparts. Rapping eloquently over a medley of melancholy keys and muted saxophone riffs, the track infuses a modern day bounce with the traditional Jazz, oozing soul in a way that is fast becoming a hallmark for the South London native.

Obenewa’s beautifully lush vocals on the chorus really caps off this passionate track as she softly interprets AKS’ penmanship and the main theme of the song.

“You know our lights don’t stop here? No! They’ll shine far beyond our years will / And though fantasies appeal…it’s better when it’s real!”

Loud Forest - "Level Ground"

March 08, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Pop

"You look up, but we're on the same ground. Just stand up, there's no where else to drown. We're lost, we're found on level ground." Rachel of Loud Forest wrote these lyrics in reference to the space we put between each other depending on our success and failure. But there is no space. We sit in kinship on the same ground; rising, falling, clarity, confusion, grace, repeat.
