#FRESHFRIDAY 5/11/2012

Ok... DOPE I have some new mixtapes that I have downloaded recently!

Micahfonecheck and this "August Rush" is a great mixtape.  While at work, I like listening to music that is both motivating and soothing.  Like everyone else, I like crunk music, but at times - I just want to chill.  My work day is sometimes stressful, and music can make it go by so much faster.  Micahfonecheck ain't for everyone. You have to appreciate what is going on musically to really get into this mixtape.  Also, the cover will throw you off... LOL! I don't know what the inspiration was behind it, but it is enough to make you look twice.  However, this is a nice lil' mixtape that is guaranteed to be a nice and easy listen.

Thank you This Is RnB for putting me on to this! 

Troy NokA ... is the TRUTH.  I am an advocate for people people using stories to inform an entire project.  I love that stuff.  Songwriters, radio executives and industry moguls all know that you normally have less than 30 seconds to get someone interested in your music: artists/instrumentalists have either have to play or sing something that will attract someone's attention in a very short time.  The intro to this mixtape got me hooked, and I found myself getting into the entire project. Known better as Troy Coles has already penned hits for Frank Ocean, Chris Brown and Ciara. Launching out on his own, he definitely sounds like he is ready to compeat with his counterparts for record sales.  I enjoyed this listen.  I hope you do too.  Download his mixtape on his website.  It will be worth your listen!


I'm caling this fresh because... it is... Bobby Brown is making a comeback.  As 2012 seems to be the year of the comebacks in R&B (D'Angelo, SWV, Usher, etc.) I almost didn't give this song a chance.  However, I listened and I liked.  The writing and production on this track is pretty good.  I don't know if it will catapult him back into the popular R&B conversation, but it will be a conversation piece given the death of his ex-wife, Whitney Houston, the title of the song (OH the IRONY here...) , and current public relation stunts attempting to clean up his persona.  I dig this song... you can barely recognize that it's Bobby. 



I'll have more dope music after the weekend. I have a buncyh of news for you about artists and new projects!
