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 …

@Theomartins jams to “Mario Kart” (MP3)

Theo Martins has been making waves world wide and we’re not taking tsunamis. He literally just came back from touring Malaysia of all places and has been quite successful overseas ( I have never even hear of anyone doing that) . Now that he is stateside, check out his video game summer rhyme flavor in the U.S. of A!

check what he had to say…
“Inspired by the ‘Still Sound’ of Toro Y Moi, ‘Mario Kart’ is just that good ol summer time jam. Vancouver’s own Super Fraiche provides the soundtrack for BBQ’s, pool parties and the joy of shoving your well dressed friends into the pool. Fun stuff like that.

So dust off the ol’ N64 (second greatest game console after SNES), blow into that cartridge, plug in those colorful controllers and prepare to kick back and relax and jam.
