13. Privacy Screwed Remix (Prod. Fly Von) Feat. Sta$h and J Steez

Last month, super-fly hip-hop and EDM artist/producer FLY VON was here before with track 40 Days (featuring J Steez), coming from mixtape, Rebel Kinghts. This track was so silky smooth, I thought I have a blast at the mixtape. So what to expect from this 13-track production? Expect even more smoother than chocolate Timbaland- esque numbers , with downtempo, atmospheric melodies complimented with heavy drive.

Rebels Knights starts off with intro Sing – A-Long, which offers just over two minutes of that perfect balance of spaced out beats with hefty bassline which was topped off by super-light, mashed up vocals. The infusion continues in No Place Like Home and With Me, which features head-jerking, Timbaland-esque freesytling. The mixtape lightened up with Do It and paradisiac Finesse.

The stand-out tracks are She Not Your Girl (No More), Heartbreakers & Hangovers and the slow-motioned Privacy (Screwed Remix) – if you’re not familiar with FLY VON, after listening to these tracks, you’ll come to realise that these ingenious compositions, layered with echoic vocals, (at times) on-point raps and melodic undertone, are his trademark.

To put it simply, Rebel Knights just display that this guy has deliberately positioned myself as a innovative rapper and producer. To check out Rebels Knights, please go here.

Song of the Day: She’s Running Away – Optical Illusion

Today’s song is She’s Running Away by New York alternative rock band, OPTICAL ILLUSION.

Started by brothers Keith and Wayne Cousin, OPTICAL ILLUSION sure made their mark on indie rock, by infusing sounds from their musical influences THE CARS, PINK FLOYD and a little of THE BEATLES. Hard to imagine? Well have a bash at the heart-racing She’s Running Away…and if this track gets you going there’s plenty more where that came from. Head over to iTunes or Amazon…once you get there, may I suggest you listen to Too Hot for Humans? Absolutely wicked!

Today’s song is So Wassup by Virginia-based hip hoppers, 2TWINZZ.

2TWINZZ comprises of (you probably guessed it) twins -the Handy brothers. Together they’ve created some seriously head jerking, bass driven tracks that should not be sniffed at.
