Review: The Artist – Brad

BRAD

1.Pray
2. U.O.E.N.O Freestyle
3. Under Control
4. Get Your Freak On Freestyle
5. Practice
6. Blessed
7. Too Alive
8. BRAD City
9. No Church  In the Wild
10. R.I.P Freestyle
11. Train Freestyle

Timmal Bradford aka BRAD is more than determined to break the mould of traditional hip-hop influences though his mixtape The Artist, released last month.

If you’re unfamiliar with this Mississippi-bred rapper expect original and witty wordplay with rollercoaster raps that dip and grooves into an assortment of sit-up-and-take-note beats.

This 11 track mixtape features some seriously  easy cursing productions:  Pray, Under Control and Practice. With these tracks, this guy confidently raps that he’s a cut above the rest. The Artist heats up with Get Your Freak On Freestyle and BRAD City, where his rollercoaster freestyling is really evident. But the hot tracks of the mixtape have got to be the super smooth Too Alive, Train Freestyle and the funky R.I.P Freestyle.  

I have to be honestly here: time after time I’ve heard rappers go on about how they’re the next best thing– but in reality they don’t cut the mustard. BRAD is different, as The Artist mixtape just proves that this guy is the ‘Mozart of hip-hop’ and is definitely staying in the hip hop game for a long while – CHECK IT OUT here (highly recommended)

Review: Clear Eye’d – JaySIN

Clear Eye'd

1. Intro
2. Demons All Around Me
3. Dear Alvin
4. Lost
5. FTW
6. My Pain
7. JaySIN None Like Me
8 JaySIN Ruckus $h!t
9. Gas
10. Drug Addicts
11. Vmails
12. 6figures

Jason Slusser -aka -JAYSIN  is a rapper that definitely needs to be heard. From a young age, he had love for hip-hop, listening to TUPAC and GETO BOYS RECORDS. By the age of nine, he wrote his first rap and by the age of 14, this underground hardcore upriser left school to pursue his music career, recording in his mother’s trailer and soon started performing at house parties and local venues. By the age of 18, he started releasing mixtapes, gaining a respectable fan base.

Gaining his huge fan base wasn’t down to rapping about the sweetest bootie in the club. Instead his lyrics reflect the harsh experience he encountered in his short life –which includes poverty, depression, uncertainly, suicide, feeling lost and drug taking – and this is all included in his latest mixtape, Clear Eye’d, released this month.

Beyond the harsh, hard-hitting lyrics of his life, there is an undercurrent that his Chicago-born struggling artist yearns to be a better person – and Demons All Around Me, Lost and 6figures speaks of his struggle to stay on the right track. His angrier-than-ever raps in is evident in tracks FTW and Gas, as it documents his frustration with the corruption of the government and his personal encounter and experience with the police.

JAYSIN is not afraid to represent the black sleeps of societies across the globe through this 12-track mixtape. Beyond the dope beats, he’s not afraid to invite you into his harsh reality. After listening to Clear Eye’d, I can’t help but have the fullest respect for this guy. The mixtape definitely deserves your attention. Check it out here.

Cirque du Sound -Drifting Tide

1. Drifting Tide
2. Under My Skin
3. Secrets

Danielle Addy (vocals) and Cameron Stewart-Mathews (Drums/production) –aka CIRQUE DU SOUND – was featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC last month with their track Reason …now they’re back, armed with their debut EP Drifting Tide, released 12 September.

Drifting Tide offers pure enigmatic style of electronic dance tracks that can EASILY become  favourites. The EP kicks off with the fun, pop-infused Drifting Tide, where Addy’s dreamy vocal just melts perfectly into the production. It gets better as Addy’s vocals turn all daunting in the mysteriously dark Under My Skin. The Three-track production ends on a high with the infectiously funky Secrets, which has the serious potential of becoming a club filler.

In just three tracks, there’s no mistaking that CIRQUE DU SOUND have well and truly found their niche in electronic music.  So if you’re a great lover of electronic music, it’s well worth downloading the EP…for FREE!
