It’s been a little over ten days since J.KAS appeared on NEW LEASE MUSIC with upbeat effort, Rich and Famous. Now he returns with something different.
Featuring Alicia Renee’s soothing vocals, latest track Be Real showcases the upcoming rapper’s uncharacteristically easy-cruising flow washing over atmospheric arrangements, creating a real chilled out vibe. This is definitely going to be a hot one, have a listen.
Be Real is the second release from J.KAS‘ second EP #Hometown out 3rd February
Conscious lyricist KING DICE O is keeping to his new year’s resolution and knocks out the second release for this month appropriately named Working, taken from his upcoming mixtape, The Life Vol.2 (The Quiet Storm), out 18th February. Take time out and have a listen!
If you can’t seem to shake off those Monday Blues, 3KNGZ recruit MERU MAUD’ DIB has something to keep you going…check it out and download your copy for free.
For now, Stay Up and Stay Blessed!
It wasn’t that long ago since KING DICE O was featured here with Pain of Fortune (recently named Song of the Week by NEW LEASE MUSIC).
The New York emcee has no time to kick back and relax and instead join forces with fellow emcees DICE CANNON and JUICE CANNON (who also provided the beats to the track) for the making of the music video to laid back golden hip-hop effort, Lounge Music. So go ahead, watch the video, sit back and just lounge to it!
Lounge Music is taken from KING DICE O‘s forthcoming album, The Life Vol. 2 (The Quiet Storm), set for release 24th January.
The latter part of 2015 has been kind to brothers Shack and Ace Boogie and long-term friend Dirty Dre – aka – THE BAKERY BOYS. The previous single Get Away, was named 1Xtra’s Track of the Week. Not becoming too complacent of their recent triumph, the boys dropped another track, Until The Day.
Their latest effort offers words of inspiration, urging youngsters to reach their goals. The four-minute slick banger features indie band The Thirst’s Mensa Hart and Lock Laser who is the brother Shack and Ace. It comes to no surprise that the brothers formed a strong bond for music as their father was in the 90s cult group, Soul II Soul.
Apart from making waves on the music scene, supporting the likes of Big Sean and Labrinth and performing twice at the Wireless Festival, these guys have their fingers in more than one business pie. Their fashion label, Justin Hustlin, was the fast selling streetwear on ASOS and their social organisation Justinspire, sees them mentoring and volunteering in their local community – breaking down misconceptions that rappers are all about the money and honies!
Until The Day will be released from tomorrow…but for now, watch the video and soap up some words of wisdom.
