R.i.C. – “Lovely Day”/”Baby What’s Up”

Here’s a cool idea that I just had: everyone should send me two new songs at once, and I’ll blog them as digital 45s. That would be kind of different. Actually, Chicago artist R.i.C. sent me these tracks a few days ago, and I’ve had them on repeat. Both are really bass heavy songs with a vintage sounding sample. R.i.C. adds a new school flavor on top of these beats, and it came out pretty awesome if you ask me. Check out “Lovely Day” and “Baby What’s Up”, which I’ve decided is now a digital 45 for you to play. Some of my readers might be too young to know what a 45 is.

GS – “Hellish Freezers” (Mixtape)

GS sent me his newest mixtape today. For future reference, I really enjoy getting new music sent to me. It’s a great perk of writing a music blog. Anyway, I had time to kill, so I checked this tape out. I had never heard GS before, so his flow is unique to me. He has a very distinct voice, but uses it well, with some clever wordplay at times (‘I’mma wing this track, like a Wright brother”). There’s also a smooth selection of industry beats and features from CJP & Eyo Tha KIDD. Give this thing a listen, and see for yourself:

R.i.C. Featuring Nicole Eboni – “Prove I Love You”

I received more new music out of Chicago last night, this time courtesy of R.i.C., who was previously mentioned on here for his “Knockout” track with C Money of So Klean/Super Fresh Bros. This time, R.i.C. brings along Nicole Eboni for “Prove I Love You”, a bass heavy track with a real laid back feel to it. It’s really cool to see quality music like this from an artist who isn’t even out of high school yet. Check it out via Bandcamp or right here:

Super Fresh Bros. – “Fresh”

My, oh my. Super Fresh Bros., AKA C Money and Nate The Great of So Klean, released the first single off of their “Level One” album. From the second I hit play on this track, I was amazed at how far they’ve come from the first time that I heard them. I definitely wanna hear the whole album.

R.I.C. Featuring C-Money Of So Klean – “Knockout”

R.I.C. and C-Money just released this new track tonight, and my goodness it is worth the listen/download. C-Money and Nate The Great are currently working on the next Super Fresh Bros. mixtape, and if his verse is a preview of what’s in store, everybody better get ready to download that tape. I’ve listened to this three times just to hear his verse. This is also the first I’ve heard from R.I.C., but I like what I’ve heard. Click the cover or right here to get “Knockout”

So Klean – “Doin My Thang” (Video)

A little over a month ago, I was in Chicago to shoot this video for So Klean. It was definitely an experience, being that I’d never shot in Chicago before. We ran into a cop on a horse while we were shooting the first performance, a nun that popped out of a back door in the alley, and Deadmau5 in Millennium Park. So yeah, that’s it. Cops, horses, nuns, and Deadmau5. Go watch the video and like So Klean on Facebook.

I’ll shoot your video, too. Email me at Allen.Halas@Marquette.edu or AllenHalas@AllenHalas.com for more info.
