HighRisk - Destined For Greatness

January 04, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

Malik Ninety Five - Right Now

January 02, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

After making waves with the recently released “Link Up,” New Orleans artist Malik Ninety Five returns with another promising single in “Right Now.”

The song embodies exactly what you’d want to hear from a modern Hip-Hop track that stays true to the genre’s roots, while pushing it forward. Malik’s rhymes are tightly constructed and weave a story about questioning the present and what life can bring, while the hook takes that message and turns it into a straight-up earworm. Likewise, Malik’s production is crazy-engaging thanks to its head-nodding drums, thick bass, and finely looped vocal sample ooo-ing in the background.

Like “Link Up” before it, “Right Now’ continues to build the anticipation for the New Orleans native’s forthcoming new record, The Paradise Project. And even though we’ll have to wait until late April of next year to hear it, TPP is sounding like it’ll definitely make some year-end lists come December 2017.

“Right Now” is now available for stream and download through all major digital retailers, via EMPIRE Distribution.

MBALANCE - Coldest Winter

December 22, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

This song is about the hardships faced by me and many others here in Chicago. Growing up in the winter without heat and how I had to adapt to my situation. This story is certainly relatable to other people that have had to deal with similar or worse conditions but somehow stuck it out to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Kavin Donnell - DND

December 19, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap

The year 2016 is coming to a close which means cuffing season is on the horizon. While some are becoming acquainted with their new significant others, singer-songwriter and producer, Kavin Donnell, is arrogantly ignoring a swarm of desperate attempts to rekindle past relationships before the ball drops.

In his latest release, DND (Do Not Disturb), Donnell reminds prior lovers that he will not be bothered this holiday season with inadequate excuses on why they haven't supported him along his musical journey. In a jazzy yet upbeat infused track with vocal samples from classic 90s R&B, the 21 year-old Inglewood native reminds us all that the best resolution to an ex lover's attempt to revive an old flame is to simply put your phone on Do Not Disturb.

Jonny Virgo - Kids In The Rain Part 2 (UK Submitted)

December 08, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

Kids in The Rain Part 2 is a cheerful hip ho banger linking good times, nostalgia and production from Polish supremo JF. London rapper Jonny Virgo spits double time on a chilled soul vibe, with a catchy chorus, dope lyrics and a track that works it right.

Jonny Virgo is a rapper and producer from South London who makes interesting, off the wall hip hop. His music fuses the boom-bap of drums with lo-fi synths and genres from deep house to calypso via dubstep and dancehall. He is a true live star, tearing down venues with visual stage shows, off the top freestyles and a desire to make sure that any venue he touches is set the fuck off.

Aaron Rose - Parkside Ave (prod. by J57)

December 08, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

Take a trip to Pro Era rapper Aaron Rose’s stomping grounds on “Parkside Ave,” the grimy new single from his much anticipated new EP, Elixir.

Whereas previous single “Swank Corleone” was a straight-up banger, “Parkside Ave” showcases the Brooklyn artist’s ability to flow effortlessly over a grittier instrumental. It comes courtesy of J57, who provided a majority of the beats on Elixir. And on this track, his production is all murk and head-nodding drums.

Of course, the artist formerly known as A La $ole uses the Boom bap backdrop to his advantage, especially when nearly blacking out during the final verse. It’s another impressive display of just how technically gifted Rose is as an emcee, but more importantly, it’s another reminder that Elixir is shaping up to be one of the year’s finest Hip-Hop releases.

“Parkside Ave” can now be streamed, and is available for download as the second instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for Elixir, which drops next Friday, December 16th, via Coalmine Records.
