Brasstracks Drop Dynamic New EP: “Before We Go”
Among the best the Big Apple has to offer, Brasstracks dropped their brand new EP entitled “Before We Go”.
Unlike most current hip-hop, Brasstracks new EP continued their relationship with live instrumentation, rather than drum machines and synths. Ivan and Conor have created a signature blend, infusing R&B soul with live horns, percussion, and hard-hitting hip-hop.
Among the 7 songs on the EP, many featured rising artists from different genres including: R.Lum.R, Grace, Pell and Charles Gaines. The variety of Features demonstrated Brasstracks musical versatility. Tapping into more genres than ever before, while maintaining their unique sound, Brasstracks conjured their most ambitious project yet.
Brasstracks shared some words about their upcoming EP and plans afterward:
“We’re BEYOND excited to share this music with you, but we realized you may not know what this project is all about, or the story behind some of the songs. Most people have so far thought that “Before We Go” is some sort of sign of our hiatus or of us splitting up as a band. Exactly what we wanted to you to believe, but it’s certainly the opposite of what’s going on. Truthfully, we just needed to get these songs to everyone, “Before We Go” start and finish an album. Our journey has only begun. It’s going to take some time, and we promise not to starve you guys with music – but that’s the root of it.
For Those Who Know was for our fans who stuck with us through an awkward transition from electronic and bombastic to more live and nuanced, from Soundcloud to Spotify and Apple, etc. Before We Go is a declaration for not just our fans, but for everyone, that we are here to stay, and the next project is going to be even bigger.”
Before We Go Tracklist:
1. Will We Ever Know (Intro)
2. Everything I Got (feat. Anthony Flammia)

Diablo Releases Haunting “Illuminati” feat. Ski Mask the Slump God & Lil Yachty
Fresh on the streaming platforms is a hot new banger titled “Illuminati” produced by 22-year old South Florida producer, Diablo. After having his first gold single this year with Lil Pump’s “Boss” it’s clear that he is headed nowhere but upwards in his success. “Illuminati” features Ski Mask the Slump God and Lil Yachty and is out on Diablo’s own label called Foolish Cult. The heat in this song is real and it’s no surprise that it was co-produced by Diplo and Boaz van der Beats.
The dark and gritty production is amazing with the rolling hi-hats and gloomy 808’s making for a quality mosh song. Ski Mask the Slump God’s classic deep flow goes perfectly with Lil Yachty’s verses. This is a song you won’t be ready for when it knocks the venue down with it’s insane hype. And speaking of seeing this live, Diablo also just announced that he’s joining Dillon Francis and Alison Wonderland in their Lost My Mind Tour which is scheduled to kick off at the end of January.

Brasstracks Drops 1st Single From New Project: Vibrant feat. Pell
“The Vibrant Tour” Dates Announced! Kicking off in January 2019
Brasstracks have released the first single from their upcoming project, Vibrant feat. Pell.
The production on this bright bop lives in a blend between Hip-hop and R&b with the classic eruption of horns and live drums that we can always expect from our Brasstracks boys. The flow of the New Orleans-based rapper Pell seems to effortlessly glide over this track with the beat and his voice living harmoniously together as one. The song definitely has a good energy to it which is ever so prevalent in the live video of Brasstracks and Pell performing the song on the top of Elsewhere’s rooftop in Brooklyn, NY last month.
Along with this new incredible song, Brasstracks has also announced a 28 date tour called “The Vibrant Tour” starting in the end of January to kickstart 2019 in the right direction and set off the release of the new project.

Surf Club – Go Off (Feat. Travi$ Scott & Quentin Miller) Prod. By Chase n Cashe and Hit Boy
The Surf Boys are back with some extra help from Travis Scott & Quentin Miller on “Go Off”. I’m not going to pretend that this song isn’t cool but with this many dope artists all on the same song, I honestly was expecting something even bigger. Not a ton or replay value here but worth a listen no doubt.
Video: Mayalino feat. Z ro – Don’t Even Know
There is just something about that cocaine rap that I just love. It helps a lot when you can look at a dude and straight up believe he’s about a certain kind of life. This video is dope as hell and really well produced. Looking forward to seeing more stuff like this from Mayalino.
