Southside Queens New York artist Noah Caine delivers a sneak peek of his upcoming project Noah Caine: The Pre-Season. With new alias, Noah plans on dropping The Pre-Season at the top of the new year. It's only right that the first song he offers is referred to simply as "The Genesis".

THIS. TRACK. IS. CRAZY!!!!!!

Charli Brown is a really profound producer when it comes to laying down the canvas for someone like Noah to paint on. These two make an amazing team if this is what we have to expect from them in the future.

This reminds us that there's still hope in Hip-Hop. Definitely keeping an eye out for Noah's next project "The Pre-Season" when it drops.

Listen/ Download Here. LA VanGogh- Shayna Drew Me

Ok, here's something totally new...

L.A. VanGogh is an artist from the south suburbs of Chicago, signed to an independent label named JDR Sounds. He recently released his first music video for a newly released song called "Shayna Drew Me."

We enjoyed the clean aesthetic of the video, as is the case with most videos in this day and age being shot with digital SLR's, in addition to the chilled out vibe we got while going on a musical journey hearing thoughts from a man who recollects formulating them on the day when a young woman decided to capture his visage.

All in all the song is pretty good, it reminds us of a time in hip-hop when there were still long album cuts and B-Sides. We see bright things for this young upstart if he delivers consistently in his lane.

What are your thoughts?

Reach out to L.A. VanGogh and let him know what you think. Or simply follow his Twitter page and stay in the loop as he gets drawn some more.

" I am S.o.S, a hip-hop artist from Washington Heights, the uptown section of Manhattan in New York City. I have been rapping for a few years, but already made strides in making timeless music. I am part of a rap crew formed with my closest childhood friends called The Wood as well, and we all share the talent and passion for music that is neccessary to be successful. I am currently working on my debut mixtape, named Hurricane Season, as well as one with my fellow Wood member Rob Acosta, named The Black Market, both due to be released this fall. "

New Music: Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra (Tracklist + DL Link)...

Who or exactly what is a Frank Ocean?

Frank Ocean, is better known as Christopher “Lonny” Breaux. He is currently signed to Def Jam...with a catch. Good ol' Chris, well Frank, has penned records for hit making artists such as John Legend, Brandy, and your fever inducing (in a teenage caucasian, iTunes purchasing way) Justin Beiber. He decided that enough is enough after recently being ignored by the label heads and decided to un-earth his debut LP via his Tumblr.

After years of this ignorance, Ocean joined Tyler the Creator and the rest of the “Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All.”. Needless to say, he has simultaneously joined the iPods and portable MP3 players of many an avid music listener as well.

Tracklist:

01. Street Fighter
02. Strawberry Swing
03. Novacane
04. We All Try
05. Bitches Talkin'
06. Songs For Women
07. Love Crimes
08. Golden Eye
09. There Will Be Tears
10. Swim Good
11. Dust
12. American Wedding
13. Soul Calibur
14. Nature Feels

Untapped: Noah Caine Sets The Record Straight (Again)...

While browsing the benevolence that is the interwebz we came across an interview that featured Queens, New York artist Noah Caine blessed a Hip-Hop blogger with:

"Q. What's your name and where do you reside?


A. Noah Caine, The Southside, Jamaica Queens. New York City.


Q. How long have you been making music?


A. Seems like all my life. I've been rapping since I was about 10,
yeah 5th grade. Recorded music though, for a little over 5 years now.


Q. What/who inspired you to make music?


A. My Uncles. Growing up they would always have the Hip-Hop on blast in my house. I saw that they would bug out reciting the lyrics and shit. It was dope because I remember those times that my whole family was together and everything was cool. Shortly after that I started writing my own rhymes. That feeling of unity and fun that it brought to my family, that's what keeps my drive hungry.


Q. Who are some of your favorite MC's and producers that you've idolized while growing up, if any?


A. The MC's who I can give credit to for sparking the lyrical hunger
and discipline in my style are Nas, The Notorious B.I.G and Mos Def.
Growing up listening to those cats really gave me an idea of what it
is that you need to strive for as an MC. They always connected their
listeners with the subject matter and, in my opinion, are some of the
best storytellers of Hip-Hop.

As far as producers, I always had a ear for the production of J Dilla, Ski Beatz and DJ Premier. Looking back, around the time when I started rapping those were the dudes that I heard a lot of. Those sounds were the tastes of my Uncles, so naturally those types of producers are who I heard the most.


Q. Explain the origin of your former name (Hi-Jynx).


A. That name was brainstormed back in my highschool days. Me and a couple cats that I was rapping with said that the cyphers always got a little wild after I jumped in. We was looking for a name to describe that and that's what I chose.


Q. You're formerly known as Hi-Jynx. Now, you go by Noah Caine. What made you move on from Hi-Jynx to Noah Caine?


A. "Hi-Jynx" was actually more of a nickname to describe the atmosphere when I started rhyming in front of crowds. I wanted to incorporate more of me as a person into the music I put out. So I chose something more personal, more my name.



Q. You've contributed material on both of the NT Secret Society tapes and released 2 solo projects titled Music Monday and Your Love: Smells Like Money, as well. Explain the process you've went through working on your 2 solo projects.


A. Ah man, my processes are a little wild. I'm really into detail and
structure. The thought process behind "Music Monday" was simply to
exhibit a few of my talents on the mic and show a variety of styles
and sounds that I'm capable of. Building off that, I'd determine my
next project.

The feedback from "Music Monday" was crazy. People wanted to hear more full length records and concepts within a theme so I decided that's just what I'd do. That's when "Your Love: Smells Like Money" started getting materialized.

The process behind "Your Love: Smells Like Money" was issues in everyday life attributed to pursuits of Money and Love. Those two things are things that everyone experiences throughout their lives countless times and hope to attain the perfect amount of. Whether it be becoming really rich, or finding the perfect soulmate for the rest of their life. "YL:SLM" is something that people are going to relate to for a while.


Q. What's your main goal(s) that you've set to accomplish with your music?


A. My main goals are to spread my work as far as I can. I'm creating
a discussion with every project that I'm putting out and I see the
discussions happening in real time. That's the biggest pay off, when
people can come together because of the perspective that you put on
certain elements of their everyday life.

And after all, that unity is what made me want to start rapping since
I was a little kid in that tiny New York apartment all them years ago.

Steady."

Pretty sweet, simple, and straight to the point. Pretty much a walk in the park of the inquiring mind. Needless to say things are shaping up for Noah as he prepares himself for what's to come this year.

We're staying tuned, as we have before.

" Born in the Town Of Kings (Kingston,JA) but raised in Kings County (Brooklyn,NY) since he was two years old, Tony Emcee is as dynamic as any of the great young rappers in the game today... "

Well judging from the slight influx of self-proclaimed "young greats" in the game today, we'll need you to be the judge.

Hi-Jynx says:

"My previous effort “Music Monday” was an exhibition effort. This effort, “Your Love: Smells Like Money”, is a step in the direction of more coherent records. Together they are themed and individually they stand out from what I’ve done in the past. I have a snippet of a record on the project that’s floating around now and the response has been crazy. Its heavily geared towards females without diving into R&B territory, I believe that gives listeners something to anticipate because its rarely done by a hip-hop artist these days."

WATCH FULL "FL!P TH!S" TRAILER HERE

It seems that apparently Ski Beatz will give two lucky up and coming production specialists the chance to shine to the world by flipping a sample of his choosing.

The show will then hopefully go on to explain in more details the prize, as well as, any other scenarios the minds at the happiest place on earth, DD172 AKA "The Dojo", can come up with.

This is REALLY great idea, considering this may be the very same way a young Kanye West got his first shot at a humble record label so many years ago.
