Free Download! CharlieRed's new EP explores religion through the marriage of hip-hop and blues. #SoundCheck

Hip-hop producers have been sampling soul and blues tracks since day 1 so it's actually surprising how rarely blues returns the favor. On Charlie Red's new EP Religion, the duo of producer Cobaine Ivory and singer/songwriter Rocky Evans use the language of hip-hop to create some dirty, soulful blues.…

#SoundCheck The ever ambitious Phony Ppl are back already with 2nd 2012 release 'nothinG Special' (Free Download)

The sprawling 9 piece hip-hop collective Phony Ppl are nothing if not ambitious. Barely 7 months after their debut LP, their new EP nothinG Special cements their status as one of the most exciting new acts of 2012. The band moves effortlessly between sampled, sequenced and full band; switching genres and sound on a dime. Anchored by one of the tightest rhythm sections in the game, the EP is a slice of retro hip-hop, soul, and disco. But unlike many the many groups who…

#SoundCheck: Tess Makes Big Impact On Debut EP – The Name Is Tess

Singer/songwriter and AP member Tess refers to her music as “Hip Rock & B,” which even if it doesn't quite roll off the tongue, is at least a pretty solid description. She has the massive voice of a pop star, but an eclecticism and depth of soul rarely heard these days in Top 40 land. Though The Name is Tess is her debut EP, this isn't Tess' first time around…

PREVIEW: N*E*R*D Keeps It Funky After All With New Album "Nothing"



Watch this! N*E*R*D's album "Nothing" will be out next week (November 2nd). Although Pharrell Williams has been talking about a classic rock feel in recent interviews, most of the tracks we've been hearing so far are more of a funky blend of hip-hop/rock/pop (not that it's a bad thing, but we're just sayin'...). For the first time, the band enlisted outside producers such as French electro duo Daft Punk. Playful at times, the record also deals with more serious topics: the… Continue
