New Track: You – Earth2Tom (ft. Holly Flo Lightly)

Following on from the previous two singles from EARTH2TOM‘s diverse hip hop debut album, ‘You’ is the latest single from the forthcoming album ‘ONE’.

Over a warm and jazzy guitar riff with an upbeat vibe, Bristol based emcee and singer Holly Flo Lightly sings a catchy bluesy chorus, and spits some honest and unadulterated raps about past relationships. On ‘You’, expect clever wordplay, impeccable delivery and raw talent.

Holly’s light-hearted vocal content came as a result of the trials and tribulations of guys she’s dated in different countries, and how it inevitably goes wrong. Something many of us can relate to, whether domestic or international!

EARTH2TOM are producers Tom Foolery Beats and Charles the Earthman, who bring smooth dusty boom bap hip hop, with conscious lyrics and a positive vibe….if you haven’t heard of these guys, well here’s your chance to check out their work…

Album Review: Cyberpunk – Dizzy Rambunctious

Roughly three months after the release of his mixtape, ‘The Blu Tape 2’, DIZZY RAMBUNCTIOUS is back with another body of instrumentals entitled ‘Cyberpunk’.

Continuing the theme from his previous mixtape, the producer from New Jersey drops the jazzy sensation in favour for the smoothness of modern soul working in unison of his trademark: that heavily dope bassline.

I reckon DIZZY RAMBUNCTIOUS  is probably one of the most underrated producers in the underground scene – don’t let his hard work go to waste; check out ‘Cyberpunk.’

Must Listens: Ride, Comfort Zone, One Piece, All That I Want, Tokyo Ghoul(s)

Premiere: The Massacre – J.A.S (ft. Twisted Insane, Mickey Factz, Emilio Rojas & Oswin Benjamin)

J.A.S (Just A Star) returns to the blog’s spotlight and drops what could be his hottest jam to date…

The South African rapper and producer enlisted some of the most respected rappers from the US – Twisted Insane, Mickey Factz, and Emilio Rojas – for track entitled ‘The Massacre.’ Starting with a brief smooth intro, five-and-a-half minute banger launches into sporadically – dope arrangements, where each emcee effortlessly deliver a laid back flow.

J.A.S previously stole NEW LEASE MUSIC’s Song of the Month hot spot in June, with ‘Set Me Free’, a collaborative house track with fellow producer Mpho.

‘The Massacre’ is out today on via iTunes…but before you head out, you better listen to this bad boy production…and remember, you heard it first on NEW LEASE MUSIC!

MELANIE? makes her entry on NEW LEASE MUSIC and steals today’s hot spot with latest single, ’16 Candles’.

Boastfully sporting a feathered fusion of pop/R&B/soul, ’16 Candles’ documents the Toronto-based alt songstress’ journey of self-identity, slowly realising the answer lies within herself – and no one else!

The single is taken from her biographical EP – more details to come…but for now, start off your weekend on a soothing note…have a listen to ’16 Candles’.

New Music Video: The Feels – Humans

Vancouver duo HUMANS have released a new interactive 360º virtual reality video today for their single ‘The Feels’.

Their dark electronic-pop is perfectly countered by a sense of paranoia and isolation from the video’s protagonist. The VR puts the viewer directly into that space of unease, prodding them forward, as the track builds to a nightmarish warehouse rave.

‘The Feels’ follows their interactive 360º virtual reality video for previous single ‘Boys & Girls‘ – the videos are impressive; it’s well worth hitting that play button.

Surrounding the new release, HUMANS will be embarking on a string of shows across the US. See dates below:

11.9.17 – Los Angeles, CA – The Moroccan Lounge
11.10.17 – San Francisco, CA – Cafe Du Nord
11.11.17 – Brooklyn, NY – Elsewhere
