Fresh Visual: Jibreel Price "I'm On (Hate Me Now)"

Jibreel Price (formerly known as Dice) from the 4 Starz collective dropped a visual to Im On (Hate Me Now). If you are unfamiliar with the song, it's actually off of his most recent EP The Jibreel Price Project which dropped back in May. From the looks of it, Jibreel is taking over the city and he's speaking every part of it into existence. The video has a dark wrath to it but I think it matches the track excellently. You can see the rest of the members such as Jared, Tell, Ace and a few more in the background looking like they're completely about that life haha. The 4 Startz currently have the torch, and it's time for them to illuminate and conquer shit! MBMHD did a great job with directing this video as well...

Fresh Music: That FADED Kid x Nolan The Ninja "50-50 Grind"

That FADED Kid of The Burbz and Nolan The Ninja of VVE dropped a track called 50-50 Grind earlier in the month (sorry for posting late, oops). Seems like That FADED Kid changed his flow/voice up a little bit? Since he's a newer artists I think he's just trying to find himself a little as far as the voice goes, but I actually like where he's at with it now. The Ninja spit a gritty verse, which made me feel like he has true passion about his grind. My favorite part was when he said "My generation call it boring, but they will be cheering when I'm anointed". With That FADED Kid's verse being a bit more laid back/raspy and Nolan's being rough/hard knock, I would say the track balances itself out nicely. Enjoy listening to their day to day grind.. Check it! Also, shoutout to the person who did the artwork, I like how they incorporated the skateboard into it. 

Fresh Music: Sigidy "Lawn Chair" (Prod. DaRaun)

It seems like Sigidy has been laying low, but now he is back with a record titled Lawn Chair which is produced by DaRaun. If he writes these types of rhymes while on a lawn chair, I wonder what else he has up his sleeve. Listening to this will get your head bobbing and in a super chill mood. Be ready for the release of Sole Calibur to drop from the homie sooner or later! Take a few minutes to step into the mind of Sigidy...

Fresh Video: Shaun Carlo "Moscato Bay"

Shaun Carlo of Detroit conglomerate "BGK" dropped new visuals to Moscato Bay, which is from his most recent project Freedom Town. With the stresses that living life can sometimes bring we tend to hear ourselves repeat the phrase "I need a vacation", which is entirely true the majority of the time. The next question to answer would then be "where?"..... right? Well, Shaun's choice would be a little place called Moscato Bay. It seems like the perfect place to kickback, drink, have a good time, and forget about all of your worries. They shot this video on the perfect evening, because the pink and purple sunset created an amazing aura. Check it....

Fresh Music: Nas "One Love" (Nolan The Ninja Remix)

Nolan dropping ill sh*t is nothing new. For his latest release he gave us a remix to Nas' classic record "One Love" which also coincide with the legend's 40th birthday. Instead of doing the entire 3 versus he went ahead on did only the first two. Would it be accurate to say this actually sounds better than the original version? I like the uptempo feeling I get from it because it completely changes the vibe as well as the crystal clear sound. Check it...
Here are the visuals to the original version

Fresh Music: J.Fin x Jibreel Price "Ion Wonder Why" (Prod: Ace Boogie)

J. Fin and Jibreel Price (formerly known as Dice) linked up for the drop of "Ion Wonder Why" produced by Ace Boogie. Fin starts the track off mentioning a funny little fact he just found out, then finally begins his verse. It seems like the two had a light-bulb moment where they realize why people hate on them in particular. Listening to this reminds me of the saying "people want to see you doing good, but never better than them". Be careful who you decided to surround yourself with, because it's too common that people pray on your downfall. Essentially you should realize we all have the same 24 hours in our days, work harder. Don't forget #AllFleiEverything is on September 21st at the Flei Yung Showroom. Check the twitter for more updates and reminders on the event. 

Fresh Project - Asante "Trifecta: SanteJazz Remix Series"

The last time we heard from Asante was quite some time ago when he remixed Frank Ocean's "Thinkin Bout You". Now he's back with an entire project's worth of remixes to songs like Justin Timberlake's "Suit and Tie", Tyler The Creator's "IFHY" (instead naming his version "IFLY"), and OutKast's "Prototype". Needless to say he did all of these songs complete justice. Starting with the beginning track I feel like I've just stepped foot onto a new planet ready to explore new found joy. While on the planet I've experienced love at first site, and can't stand to leave him.. *wishing this was real life*. The transitions from one track to another are very smooth and the order is logical as well. By the time I get to the end of the series I feel like I'm involuntarily saying my last goodbyes to the love of my life and whatever planet I was on and taking a long journey back to reality *sigh*.  Asante's voice is BEAUTIFUL, and just makes me wish I had someone to sing such sweet nectar's in my ear, but I digress hahaha. Last, but certainly not least, shoutout to whoever did the artwork. The planet I stepped on was indeed the one right on the cover. Full of every musical instrument you could think of, such a lovely place... take a visit.
