Friday Fresh 01: King Most – Stay Inside (A New & Mellow Winter Mix) (MP3)

Welcome to the first edition of a weekly column new to URB, called Friday Fresh.  Each Friday, we will be featuring a mixtape or press drop for your weekend perusal.

Our inaugural edition comes to us from one of SFNY’s resident musical maestros, King Most.  His most recent mix-drop, entitled Stay Inside, is an inspired take that is reflective of the winter season.  A respite from the deluge of hip hop. disco, and EDM centric releases of the recent past, Stay Inside is akin to the space and time between breaths during the hustle and bustle of the day (and season).  The mix itself is perfect for taking that sojourn back into your crib and just chillin’ out rather than getting caught up in the craziness that the night life can …

DJ Assal Releases New Club Mix

For all those looking for a new mix to get you through December, DJ and Rapper-Songwriter ASSAL has something fresh for your ears. Born in Germany and from a Persian background, ASSAL is that world class #veryrare chic tweaking your favorite genres with a global sound reminiscent of her upbringing. ASSAL and her music ignore traditional boundaries with her compositions combining elements of electronic, dance, alternative, hip hop and world music.  

Her eclectic background not only shows through in her music, but in her unique sense of style as well.  This jet setting partygoer and fashionite evokes global glamour, classic cool, and edginess all at once. What we’d like to call a “cultural cocktail.” Yes we just coined that. A tastemaker in her own right – her cutting edge style and genre-hopping have drawn comparisons to M.I.A or Santigold …
