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 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.

Fresh Project: Maurice Clark "Addiction: Music, Books & Cigarettes "

 I was introduced to the music of Maurice Clark by the homie Mook from 4 StarZ. Mook sent me a song he was featured on called Ghetto Conciousness, which is on the project as well. After hearing the track, I was yearning to hear more tunes from Maurice, and wanted know more about the project. Addiction: Music, Books, & Cigarettes is Maurice Clark's latest drop and is very astounding.

When tuning in to Addiction: Music, Books, &Cigarettes, I get a relaxing sense of bona fide authenticity (what a mixture). After listening to the entire project about 15 times, I have come to the conclusion that I rock with every song because I come up with new combinations of favorite songs each time. This get's daily rotation, no doubt! Maurice Clark is extremely talented artist, and I look forward to hearing more music from him! Check it...
