sheding a little light on the track

What's good people?

Just a real brief post today as i'm away in Hawks bay having a bit of breather which doesn't happen to often.

The new track for free download is a bit of blast from the past, we wrote this track about how Aucklanders audiences are spoiled for choice when it comes to gets and can be less than enthusiastic at a gig. It's sad to admit but personally Welly and Dunedin are probably my favourite spots to perform as the crowd's know how to have a good time. We are snobs in Auckland when it comes to getting out and supporting concerts and shows so this track was inspired by the epthony that the best crowds generally are out of town from your local haunt. On that note if your trying to book us to play in your town email our booking agent on : vaevae@nm-audio.com .

We were going through a funny phase when writing this track, still kind of caught up in thinking to much rather than just writing. It's actually one of my favourite tracks cause for the first time we started to explore a bit of funk, as well as begin to play around with recording techniques hence the BV's are way active.

Just a reminder these free tracks are just our way of saying thank you to all the people that have had a part in helping us get through the past few years and enabled to create history with the 10 top 10 singles. If you enjoy the tracks....check out our album "Elevator musiq".....it's a quality album if we do say so ourselves.

Before i go a few congrats are in order

*Firstly to J Williams, our RnB prince at the moment breaking that exclusive top 5 in the album charts. Last night me and Oldwun attended his launch which was a dope night with your usual suspects PNC, King Kapisi, Smash Proof, Dawn raid and of course the Illegal Musik team.

*Secondly P Money, it may come as a shock to most of you (dedicated nesian bloggers) but there are other blogs other than my own one of which is money. Next to Kirks MTC blog I really enjoy watching moneys blog as it's an awesome insight in to the hectic business the man runs well. After having really successful progress in the U.K Money announced he's doing the big move there. So from the nesian fam we wish him all the best and know it's another house to crash on the floor when we're in the U.K. Aotearoa hip hop's small but we're good like that expanding and bringing the team through.

Well til next time Peace and give me your feedback on what you think of this track.

P.S- Before any one points it out, yes i know the title is the o-ficial spelling of the word but it's hip hop there are no spelling rules, in fact we are encouraged in the new school to spell incorrectly for effect......keeps the street creed flowin.

West coast funk meets some disappointed nesians traveling the country and realising their home crowd ain't as good as else where :( produced by DMON.

Nesian & OZ collaboration download free

Sup peepz

Sorry been a bit of a gap in the addition of tracks but we're close to finalising things for the first single off the new album so bare with me. The track this week is a collaboration with an OZ crew the turnstyle puppets....good dudes, they flew over a while back to jam with us and we knocked out 2 tracks in one day.

The track "school up", started with the beat produced by Dmon. In the nesian volts are hundreds of beats we've never used, most of the time their not even cause their bad it's just not the mood when in for writing at the time or we don't have a strong concept. This was one of those times, me and dmon opened the volt of beats and had a listen through and came across this one. Straight away i was feeling it, so me and Dmon started jamming different hooks....the eventual hook being a mash of a few of those options. The tracks basically about style and schooling the competition with our own kind of swagger if you will.

The Turnstyle bro's are top blokes, who had a real appreciation of aotearoa hip hop and don't tell no body but they seemed like kiwi's on the inside. We're hoping to bridge the tasman gap even more this year and are looking to do more oz collab's, so keep an ear out. There should be another track up shortly care of Notiq......

Shout out's to grey mouth where we performed last week.....cool people. Also massive congrats and kudos to J williams and the whole illegal musik team hitting not only top 5 with his debut album "young love" in it's first week but also the extremely big hit "Stand with you" feautring his big sis Lavina debuting at 13 on the singles chart. My good mate N.O.X does the production for J so i got to hear the track at the begining of the year and I was convinced then that "Stand with you" would be huge and cross J to mainstream stardom. On a side note Lavina Williams was in a group called Mavelle and Nesian's very own Oldwun was their biggest fan, i kid you not. So to see Lavina return to the charts is real dope as it was once us watching her career as fans. Aotearoa hip hop's going to have quite a year to finish......by the way my cuz st. Janera is also on the horizon of breaking through with his debut single "shine" and when it drops you'll be the first to hear it right here.

Peace S

Nesian and Turnstyle Puppets. Holla!

The Fresh boyz saga begins.....new free download up

Hey my Cyber peepz

Well true my word we're back with the 4th piece of this 10 track installment. We're starting dialogue for our first video off the new album called "Fresh Boyz", which will be the finale of our record creating celebration with a snippet of "Fresh Boyz" being the 11 track put up. The track has a special guest feature but mum's the word on that until further notice.

Last thursday me and the boyz went out to Papakura high for a fundraising game of b-ball with your local ballers teamed up with all your favourite M.C's.....shout out to Alprisk, Mareko, Sid who along with the Nesians helped raise money for Canteen which supports youth with cancer. It was cool to see our community (Hip hop) can get together for more than simply ourselves promoting our albums. It was a good laugh had by all with a few dope moves from every body mixed in with some terrible air balls, but like Dr Dre said in the movie the show "It's just all entertainment".

4DG remember the name, they are NZ's answer to Jagged edge and put on a real show for their launch. Hands down this would have to be the best NZ album launch i'd been to, minus the sound. They put it on real big held on Krd Studio, the name of their albums "Arrival" and the brothers had air hostess, pilots....the line up for the gig was the departure timetable. I've learnt alot of this game is creating the environment for success, so if people feel blown away when you walk in about the effort that's gone in and you can back it up......then your half way there to having them on your side. It was good night had by all.....we've done a Fresh Boyz remix for the
their song "remember" click here to hear it.

Lastly we performed at Maori in the city at logan campbell centre and i have to say i was impressed. Firstly that we made it to the gig cause our call time was 9am and we performed for 4DG at 2.30am. Secondly that there was actually a decent sized crowd when we went on at 10am. I love when you feel like you have some commonality with an audience cause it makes the talking in between songs that much easier. Talking in between tracks is an art in it self and hands down the jordan for that artform is Dei Hamo. Actually I just saw his new clip "Lyk a teen" it's cool i really like it......even has a cameo from my nesian bro Oldwun what a video pimp lol. To check out that vid click here , the guy who directed it has been on a rampage lately releasing no less than 5 videos recently (Taye williams, J williams, Erykah, Dane Rumble to name a few).

The track we've selected this week is called Sweet sorrow. It's got a sweet yet gritty feel which i think reflects the theme. Dmon produced it and was going through his funny sounds stage as you may hear in the background of the track. Keep it locked right here for our next installment which will feature a collboration with some ozzy cats. Chur S
