KhalelTBT

Singer / songwriter / producer Khalel drops off a collection of unmastered demo tracks ranging from as far back as like 2004 / 2005’ish to about 2010 or 2011’ish. Can’t remember the window exactly but dude definitely had a moment back in the day where he was getting some good airplay, doing shows etc., so it’s really nice to go back with a likkle compilation like this.  Definitely some gems here including the especially lovely “Lady in Blue”, “Girl You Are My Soul” and “Life”. Shouts to the city!

NEW MUSIC: Elcee – Understand (Prod. Bonham Carter)

rez | Music | Thursday, June 23rd, 2016

ElceeUnderstand

Nice little joint from ElceeTheArtist

“Understand” starts with a smooth, and mellow beat that’s bound to make you rock with it. Spread on top is a clean, simple melody that sounds sweet, and light-hearted when contrasted with the heavy swagger of the thump that is the bass line. ElceeTheArtist hits you with his laid-back, soulful, conversational flow. His melodic bars venture into sung lyrics and then ease back into that comfortable conversational style again. Listen to the lyrics, and you’ll get a glimpse into his thoughts about the unpredictable grind that is hip-hop in Toronto. The track plays you out with a soulful sample poured over the beat. It’s a shorter track, but after 1:54, you’ll understand.
