Four posts to catch up on from the last week: Usher hooked up with Diplo for an enjoyable return to the spotlight, Ed Sheeran and Yelawolf came together for a free 4-track EP, Raheem DeVaughn made many folks’ Valentine’s Day with a new mixtape, and finally we were treated to an excellent slowed-down remix of Drake and The Weeknd’s Crew Love. Below. Click.
“Without further ado, I present the completed Revox Suite – Vol. 1 for your listening pleasure. In addition to the Sky Ferreira & La Roux X Nicki Minaj revoxes that you might have heard already, there are also vocal remixes of songs by the Jackson 5, Paramore and Bob Dylan. The Revox Suite sounds pretty unlike any project I’ve ever heard. I hope it encourages more people to think about bending and breaking musical barriers. Thank you for indulging the Unsung Hero in another one of my adventures. Now on to the next one.” Download link: Colin Munroe – The Revox Suite The happy, positive vibes that coarsed through the veins of the audio are on full display here in the video for this great track. No sign of Colin Munroe, but Asher and Nottz look to be having lots of fun throughout, adding some simple imagery to their personal yet upbeat raps. One of those videos that’ll brighten your day for sure: Asher’s robot at the end is pretty funny. Audio is grabbable (new word?) here.
New singles from Keri and Rihanna headline this episode, along with plenty of other tracks from a range of talented artists. Before that, the customary recap: a great track from UK newcomer Talay Riley, Drake’s lead track from his upcoming mixtape, plenty of R&B-related artwork, and finally the official video for Keri Hilson’s Breaking Point. Click on to get involved in this week’s episode.
Once again, another superb production is thrown up, this time being a really happy, positively tinged one as opposed to the (equally good) heavy hip-hop stylings of their previous track. As ever, this upbeat style works in Asher’s favour as it helps project his personality much more, whilst Nottz once again surprises with his proficiency on the mic. Great hook from Colin Munroe makes this a fully enjoyable track from top-to-bottom. Oddly, I’m not sure who to credit this to as I’m sure its from their upcoming collabo album but was sent to me as an individual track from Nottz’s upcoming solo album. Either way, grab it below. Nottz Raw & Asher Roth-Dontcha Wanna Be (My Neighbor) ft. Colin Munroe
Grabbing Nicki’s universally-praised (and show stealing) verse from Kanye’s recent Monster track, he’s certainly picked a captivating verse to weave around the unmistakable La Roux hook. It makes for a welcome refresh of both tracks, and serves to display Colin is just as talented behind the boards as he is with his vocals.
“Dear Friends & Family: I’m emailing today to share the first installment from a new project I’m working on…The Revox Suite. If you remember my revox of Bob Dylan’s “Who Killed Davey Moore” off my Unsung Hero Mixtape then you get the idea. I wanted to create a series of remixes using (basically) only my voice. First up is a revox of Sky Ferreira’s single, “One”. I had the pleasure of working with Sky on her upcoming LP (more on that later…) She has an amazing voice. Here’s a chance to hear “One” like you’ve never heard it before.“ You can grab this track (for a limited time only) from here.
“I’ve been gone for a little while, but I’m still here. There were some things that needed dealing with and that dealing is almost done. I was intentionally not releasing any new solo material during that period, but that period is about to end. The story continues and so will the music. I hope you enjoy this small taste of what is to come. Don’t look away. Don’t think less of me.” And here is some new music from him:
Collaborating once again with Joell Ortiz, who provides a soothing verse to accompany this tribute to that special someone, Novel has given us a song that you can really just sit back and relax to. With Colin Munroe assisting with his vocals, you have a winner of a track right here. Video for that Slum Village joint Ajay posted last month. Not sure what else to say about this so here’s keyboard cat to play you out. Didn’t really give this song the time it deserved when it first dropped, and have to say that will be changing as it’s actually quite good. Chilled out Statik beat, very good lyricism in Bun/Wale’s verses, and another good hook from Colin makes for a nice track. Video is a good fit for the audio, and will definitely rediscover/discover the good vibes about this one. Audio can be snatched here.
A smooth and atmospheric beat provides the perfect backdrop for these guys to lay vocals down on, with some nice flows in the verses and a great hook as previously mentioned. This track could have a lot of crossover appeal, both across hip-hop and other genres.
This is an all-rounder that will definitely suit a wide variety of tastes. Could be a really big hit too, if given the right promo, and gives me high hopes for the upcoming album. Kidz In The Hall-Take Over The World ft. Colin Munroe and Red 5ive
This track is pretty mellow which is perfect for Wale’s flow and with Colin Munroe’s hook, makes this a great track to chill to. Go get it below:
Definitely worth grabbing, and anyone who owns one of these boys’ previous projects will know that this is going to be something special. Hit this link here for more info, the tracklisting, and of course the download link.
