Song of the Day: JPhilippe – No Reason

Over the last few months, I’ve witnessed female rappers on a serious mission to take the over game, determined to put their male counterparts to shame!

The latest hot property to be featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC is Jasmine Philippe aka JPHILIPPE.  Known for her gender-bending looks,  Haitian emcee represents her country with a string of bangers in the form of her latest album, Far And Few Between (available on iTunes).

No Reason is a great introduction to this hip-hopper’s album, as it features epic and attention-grabbing hooks, coupled with her no-nonsense delivery…you’re here now; you might as well hit the play button!

New Music Video: Target Practice – Coco

Sheffield Grime MC COCO has just dropped the visuals for his brand new single Target Practice,  produced by BBC 1Xtra and fellow Sheffield native Toddla T.  The video sees the duo in a natural but nostalgic video, with some live footage of the track being performed live at a rave with some guest cameos.

Grime followers will know he has been MCing and producing grime music for close to 10 years. Uninspired by the Grime scene, COCO began creating his own music which has seen him make his way on to the radar of many DJs and other artists alike, gaining nationwide exposure and featuring across national platforms.

Target Practice is now available on iTunes.

Upcoming Release: Bond – L-Nize (ft. Mark Asari)

After the successful release of his debut single, Blowin My Mind featuring Qwote,  producer Dj L-NIZE is on the verge of dropping his new track Bond.

 Instead of following the current trend for creating house remixes of classic R&B hits, new single Bond offers a refreshing alternative: Originally written lyrics and vocal melodies. L-NIZE not only produced Bond, but also wrote the lyrics. The result is a bass-heavy house beat blended with soulful vocals which give the track an R&B touch.  

A fat, grooving, synth-bassline is the perfect playground for uber-talented vocalist Mark Asari, who assists on the track. London-based singer Mark Asari is best known for contributing the vocals on the UK Top 20 Hit Revive (Say Something) in a collaboration with LuvBug. 

Bond is available on iTunes from 31st July

Review: Sir Basstoven EP

Sir basstoven EP
Devon Burch – aka – SIR BASSTOVEN has just dropped his latest offering in a form of his debut self-titled EP.

Tracks Clarity, Outta Control and Hope were previously featured on NEW LEASE MUSIC and they sure give a curious insight into the 14 track production….dig a little deeper and this producer lay it all on the table, providing the grittiest and the rawest form of dubstep. A strong potential to be a hit for lovers of this club filling genre.

Sir Basstoven EP is now available on iTunes and Beatport…check it out.
