  • Amon – Amen (New Track)

    Amon – Amen (New Track)

    📸: @threehoursago Another positive message from one of my favorite discoveries, Amon. Amen may be my favorite track from the San Diego emcee that can’t seem to lose. It’s definitely an r&b track, but has a classic sound and a melodic chorus. With that being said, he raps his ass off as always. Once again…

  • Plainro (feat. Tiffany Hines) – CHNLS (New Track)

    Plainro (feat. Tiffany Hines) – CHNLS (New Track)

    Chicago’s Plainro dropped one of the year’s best EP’s in LEAVES. It hit the web in late October and should have gotten way more buzz as the multi talented artist has a great ability to switch up genres and make every song sound beautiful. His newest offering, CHNLS has his signature sound containing breezy vocals…

  • Matt McGhee – Playing It Safe/Selfish (New Track)

    Matt McGhee – Playing It Safe/Selfish (New Track)

    Matt McGhee hit my SoundCloud stream last night with Playing It Safe/Selfish and I automatically pressed play. No surprises: it was great. Previous release Carnival (below) was a genre bending beauty…automatically one of my favorite songs of the first half of the year. Playing It Safe/Selfish is a two part track done exactly right. The…

  • Ajani Jones – Liberators (New Track)

    Ajani Jones – Liberators (New Track)

    Ajani Jones is back again with another single featuring orgenA. If you didn’t read our last post, let’s catch you up. Ajani is the new featured artist on the award winning Columbia College Chicago record label AEMPP. He’s taken a different approach to his music career this time around and it’s been working very well…

  • Rob Hicks – Perception (New Track)

    Rob Hicks – Perception (New Track)

    Rob Hicks evokes 5 personalities in his new track Perception. There’s dark cooing, high pitched vocal stretching, a squeaky distorted background and even toned rapping. His energy level doesn’t cease in the 3 and a half minute life span that is the song. Not only does he sound like multiple characters, the topics switch back…

  • Tye Motive$ – Say Less (New Track)

    Tye Motive$ – Say Less (New Track)

    One of the first mixtapes we posted since the inception of FFD was Tye Motive$’ Diploma. (In my opinion we hopped on it first…but I digress.) It was one of my favorites of the month and such a surprise as it didn’t have much buzz initially. The plays soon racked up…and I was so glad…

  • Eli Saf (feat. Mickey Factz) – Gotham (New Track)

    Eli Saf (feat. Mickey Factz) – Gotham (New Track)

    In the last month, Eli Saf has been giving us tons of bangers on SoundCloud. They’ve gotten quite a number of plays and positive response, all well deserved. He’s stepped it up a notch with new track Gotham featuring the respected emcee Mickey Factz. It’s my favorite song from him yet. It’s also seld produced.…

  • Lowlifeilli – Juice (New Track)

    Lowlifeilli – Juice (New Track)

    I’ll be the first to admit it. This is an odd song. Juice is filled with light, cartoony vocals and an almost nursery rhyme pop sensibility. But it works. Lowlifeilli made it very clear to me that this isn’t a song his fans would expect him to drop. Testing the limits of artistry is not…
