Alright, so even if you dont like Hip-Hop, or DJ mixtapes, or just this type of music in general, you have to admit that this is pretty cool. Freddie Bruno is one of the components of the Hip-Hop collective known as Deepspace5. They have been around forever, and along with Bruno, the group consists of such heavy hitters as Playdough, Mars Ill, and Listener. The Bruce Lee Mixtape is Freddie Bruno taking old, B fighting movies, sampling dialogue and even some of the music, and then creating some heavy hitting Hip-Hop beats around them. The whole mixtape has a Afro Samurai fell to it, and the songs are strong enough to stand on their own even if… Continue reading

So I feel kind of bad for giving you a free download this week that you could only get for two days, so here is my compromise.  B.Reith is….well, B.Reith is kind a weird.  Don’t let that picture fool you, this dude is hip-hop.  Obviously not gangsta or anything, think more party rap in the vain of KJ-52 and tobyMac.  In fact tobyMac has taken this guy under his wing the last few years, and B.Reith just released a new album through Gotee earlier this week.

As far as I can tell, these tracks are pretty recent, so they will go perfectly with your recent copy of Now Is Not Forever.  This EP is a really good way… Continue reading

Voices Of The Underground is a series that seeks to explore one question from many different angles. Every week, we will ask one question of many of your favorite music artists. We will post their responses below, and what you will find is that there is never truly one answer to every question, but instead a whole world of ideas that come from simple matters of taste, to deep held beliefs. Our hope is that through this series you are able to see past the promo pictures and the stage persona, and get to know the hearts of believers who are creating music every day.

For anybody that knows me, they know that I am a very big fan of “screamy music”. It seems though, that even though I am a fan, we have never really featured a metal or hardcore band for free download. So I am very excited to present I Built The Cross to you, a modern Deathcore band out of Nevada.

What i am not excited about is why this album is up for free download right now. This statement was posted on the webpage for the band’s label, Open Grave Records, earlier this week:

“We have come to find out that the… Continue reading

Decided to go for something a little different today.  Austin Flores is a 17 year old folktronic singer/songwriter out of Florida.  His has an amazing grasp on interesting song structure and melody, along with a pretty advanced lyrical concept.  He wears his influences on his sleeve, but just about anybody who is in to the more modern “folk” solo artists can find something to love.  One song sounds like a sunny day version of John Mayer, other songs more resemble Postal Service and Derek Webb than pop.

Like most of our free downloads, this one is a little out there, but for the low price of nothing, it wont kill you to maybe possibly find your… Continue reading
