Duncan Morley - "Find You Now" ft. Rick Ross [Video]

May 15, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Music Videos, Pop, Rap

The road to redemption is paved with shadows of the past, but those who are able to see greatness at the end of this road shine brightly, even through the darkest shade. A man with a troubled youth, Duncan Morley is now on a righteous path and blue skies are ahead. With the help of The Boss himself, Rick Ross, and the team at Blue Sapphire Music Group who are working hard to make things happen, Morley is gearing up to make his worldwide debut with his first single, "Find You Now", and set the entertainment business ablaze.

 

For Morley, growing up was a learning experience for both him and his parents. Raised in the Northeast city of Boston, MA, he was the kind of kid who was always causing trouble. He was an Indigo child that was always thinking outside the box...including in his schemes. After stealing a friend's mom's car and entering a high-speed chase with the authorities, his parents thought it was time for some corrective education.

 

Although most attempts to subdue the fire in his soul were null (he was sent to all kinds of alternative correctional facilities, ranging from wilderness programs to military school), one habit he picked up in the woods has stayed with him to this day: meditation. In his own words, "the more you do it, the brighter and brighter you become," and brighter has he shined. Since picking up meditation, Morley studied studio recording in Los Angeles, where he uncovered his love for pop music and culture, as well as his passion to positively influence people around him. Morley has been catching a lot of attention within the industry and has now teamed up with one of the biggest name in the music industry, Rick Ross

Ross, a Grammy-nominated rapper, entrepreneur and founder of Maybach Music Group, is determined to bring Morley's talents to the forefront of pop culture. He invited this new artist to his mansion in Atlanta, GA where described him as having "the presence of a king."

"Find You Now" came about as a result of this relationship, featuring The Boss on a verse and in the music video. The song holds a deep meaning beneath the surface. Externally about a lost love, Morley's wordplay hints at a spiritual backbone searching for mindfulness in the present moment.

Mankind Music Academy - "N.O.A.H" (Feat. Mighty Casey) [Video]

April 11, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Music Videos

Harlem hip hop duo ManKind commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas with the release of their album, Juneteenth (1820 - 1920), out today, Juneteenth.

 

Like their prior concept albums, ManKind keeps the lyrical content focused on the theme, delivering a compelling set about what life was like for Blacks living in Texas immediately before and after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

 

“Sally Sue” (ft. SooFlyy) addresses the controversies of interracial dating. “Beneath The Flowers” (ft. Orunmila) shares dreams of freedom. “Spiced Redrum” suggests the psyche behind a slave rebellion. “Pledge Allegiance” questions expectations of patriotism amidst discrimination. The 10 songs include powerful, spoken word interludes and complementary, thematic production.

TyC Feat. Curly Chuck - "GET DOWN" [Video]

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

TyC comes from a diverse background of genres and first established himself as a member of the band Carousel. After leaving Berklee to go on tour, he’s spent years honing his craft as both a songwriter and a producer. He spent 2017 shadow producing and working with a network of artists signed with different labels and is finally ready to release his own project!

“GET DOWN” is a fresh take on a classic sound combining his unique pop sensibilities with a contemporary hip-hop aesthetic. He produced, mixed and wrote the hook with frequent collaborator Sonny Step who you can hear soaring over the last chorus. The song features up and coming Cleveland native Curly Chuck who is quickly making waves on the underground scene for good reason. Curly Chuck’s sound fits perfectly over this electro driven, hip hop anthem and his high level rap sensibilities give the record the edge it needs.

March 12, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

Murkx is a 20-year-old MC from Yuma, AZ and has been working on his craft since
2014. Murkx is heavily influenced by 90’s Hip Hop but blends it with a
contemporary style. He stated working with Tyy and Spar in 2015 when he started
defining who he is as an MC and crafting his style. The trio released several songs on
sound cloud gaining notoriety in the Yuma rap scene. Along with releasing songs
they were highly involved with the party scene where they perfected their skills as
performers.


In 2016 Murkx, along with Tyy and Spar meet and started working with Spizal a
long time producer. They released More Than a Mixtape which showcased the talent
of the young MC’s and helped broaden the scope of their listeners and got them
airplay on Yuma’s Z-93 Local Monster radio show.


After a strong run and several local performances the trio decided to go their
separate ways. Murkx decided to stay working with Spizal to further sharpen his
skills. In late 2017 Murkx released his solo debut project Forget What Ya Heard a
journey through the musical and personal life of Murkx. Forget What Ya Heard takes
the listener on a sonic and lyrical journey leaving them hungry for more.
Murkx is an up and coming MC and it’s worth following his career as he grows.
Lyrically he will not disappoint you and his flow will keep you captivated.

XamVolo - "LOSE LOVE" [Audio Video]

March 08, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Audio Videos

Rising Neo-Soul polymath XamVoloreleases new single Lose Love, the first track to be taken from his upcoming debut EP A DAMN FINE SPECTACLE. 
 

Written and produced by XamVolo during sessions in LA alongside heavyweight producer Freddie Joachim (J Cole, Aloe Blacc, Joey Bada$$), Lose Love’s bouncing groove opens up the EP. Released via Universal on the 13th April, A Damn Fine Spectacle is an inventive concept EP and serves as a teasing distillation of what is to be explored on his forthcoming debut album, All The Sweetness on the Surface.

A testament to XamVolo’s cinematic method of creating worlds within his music, across four songs, it tells a neo-noir story of a young girl who finds herself confronted with a hive containing a black honey substance, (which XamVolo has named ‘Slaize’) that can grant her every desire.

XamVolo explains “Everybody wants something, whether it’s money, power, justice, a clean slate, or a new pair of shoes. Some people would go to great lengths to acquire the things they want, but whenever there's an easier option available, most people would rather save themselves the hassle. This EP [and the album to follow] are all about the nature of our desires. When someone is told of this black honey – of an easy way to obtain everything they’ve ever wanted – their curiosity is piqued.”

Hardy Caprio - "Rapper" [Video]

March 08, 2018 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap, Music Videos

Produced by CallMeTheKid Hardy Caprio’s Rapper is the first instalment of ‘Hardy Season’, which will see the rising emcee document his life through 12 weeks of music, released episodically with a cliff-hanger teasing the next instalment.

Directed by WoWa (Yung Bane, Lady Leshurr), the music video for Rapperwas shot in Bromley.

The next in line to fly the flag for Croydon, (from where Stormzy, Section Boys and Krept & Konan also hail), Hardy Caprio has been earmarked by music critics as the 'next to blow' after gate-crashing and setting his own tone in the UK Grime, Rap and Garage scene.


The 21-year-old – who is a qualified accountant – first started making noise with his SBTV Warm-Up session, where he freestyled over Tinie Tempah's Wifey Riddim. The back-to-back release of Caprio's Hardy Season EP and his Hollywood EP in 2017 further cemented Hardy’s substantial fan base, ahead of single Unsigned (ft. One Acen)which is now certified silver, (after passing the 250,000 sales mark, racking up more than 30 million and being playlisted by BBC Radio 1 and receiving heavy rotation on Capital 1Xtra). Tracks Super Soaker and C’Mon followed prior to Hardy performing at Spotify UK's critically acclaimed inaugural live event, Who We Be Live at London’s Alexandra Palace.
