Star Song: JproD – Trill Shit, I Really Mean That

Image

I’m really digging this track! Today’s star song is from super cool rapper JproD (pronounced Jeopardy). The New Yorker released his seriously laid back track, Trill Shit, I Really Mean That on SoundCloud –  take time out and listen to the track and  just hear the way he raps effortlessly across the spaced out, head nodding production. It’s absolutely wicked!

Although he has all the right indigents to become a successful mainstream hip-hop artist, JproD is not your typical rapper – so you won’t be seeing this guy making a music video in a club full of honeys! Instead he lets his lyrics, which are fuelled with life experiences, do the work and hopes everyone can relate to it. Aspiring to be a role model, he wants people to feel they can achieve their dream and to be comfortable with who they are – and not be afraid to be different. I like this guy already!

This is just the beginning of JproD, as there’s an album in the pipeline…so keep your eyes peeled on the reviews section!

So go on, have a listen to the track.  If, like me, you’re digging this tune, head over to SoundCloud and listen to JproD’s other release A Million Feelings.

I’m totally in love with: Remember – Simon Pereira

Remember this name – SIMON PEREIRA – because I have a sneaky feeling that this guy will be very popular!

The British R&B singer has just uploaded his song, Remember on SoundCloud a day ago (21 June) –and the response across the net has been crazy! Not a bad response for a first single!

Remember possess the West Londoner’s signature sound which is a rather unique blend of R&B, soul and indie – and I have to say it’s just the perfect introduction to this talented artist. Remember is a laid back, dreamy, production that will get you in the mood (if you know what I mean!) PEREIRA‘s vocals may not be strongest, but it very pure, angelic and best of all timeless. It just goes to show that a singer doesn’t need a powerful voice to make a hit song!

 Have a listen to Remember and tell me your thoughts on this song – answers below please!

I’m REALLY Loving: Loudery – Getting Away With It

This is one badass track produced by Marc Green who goes the name of Loudery. The Bahamas-born DJ/producer put a 70’s disco spin on, Getting Away With It by 80’s supergroup Electronics (remember them -Bernard Summer, Johnny Marr and Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys?). Although I always love the original version, this remix blows it out of the park!!! Have a listen. This funky piece is released by Nang Records. Vocals: Tahamene Park.

So you can compare, here’s the original. Which one do you prefer? Answers below please!!!

I’m loving this song: Forty (Radar Station Remix) by High/Low

I must have played this track AT LEAST ten times today…but I have to say that this is not the typical work of Lee Yates and Steve Weston aka High/Low. I guess the signature sound of this British duo is straight-up alternative rock – there’s no two ways about it!

With the help of producer Simon Bellamy, these Essex rockers have given one of their offerings Forty (let’s say) an electronic treatment – and I have to say it sound so DAMN GOOD!!!! These guys started out in late 2011 and they already have two EPs under their belt. So if you like the sound of the remixed Forty, all of their music is available on Bandcamp.

There’s no sign of High/Low slowing down…..their debut full-length album is coming very soon… to get the real taste ofthe band, here’s the album teaser:
