Brasstracks

Brasstracks have had another massive year; from their For Those Who Know Tour, to producing one of the best rap albums in Subject To Change, to their massive Drake flip, they’ve been continuing their artistic ascent. Taking things to new heights comes their new EP For Those Who Know Pt. II. The project picks up where For Those Who Know Pt. I left…

Brasstracks’ cover game is second to none. Their ability to take smash hits or classics and turn them into instrumental works of awesomeness never ceases to amaze me. If you haven’t heard their takes on ‘XO TOUR Llif3’ and ‘All Of The Lights,’ I suggest you do that ASAP. But first, be sure to get lost in their flip of Drake’s summer…

It’s finally here! June 21st means it’s the official start of summer, and there’s no better way to celebrate summer than by bumping some warm weather grooves. Not sure what exactly to delve into though? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Since there was still snow on the ground, we’ve been dreaming of warmer days and putting together the perfect playlist…

Alexander Lewis has returned with an incredible new EP entitled OMNI. For over a year, Lewis has been building excitement for the project with the release of singles like ‘March,’ ‘Off Guard,’ ‘Clockwise,’ & ‘Wassup.’ The final product is well worth the wait, a seven song offering that shows Alexander’s range as a producer and artist. ‘Clockwise’ featuring Nick Row…

The current rap landscape is littered with a sea Lil’s. A gang of “artists” who look and sound alike, devoid of originality and the raw talent that once made hip-hop so special. While these artists may be dominating SoundCloud charts and even gaining mainstream attention, that doesn’t mean that’s all rap has to offer. Parting the sea of mediocrity comes…

On Thursday night three of New York’s finest came through to bless us in Toronto. Velvet Underground played host to Brasstracks’ For Those Who Know Tour with support from their homie S’natra. Although they didn’t sell out like they have several other cities, the venue was packed with just enough room to breathe and dance around you. S’natra kicked the…

It’s no secret that S’natra has become a favourite of ours here at FUXWITHIT. His consistency and quality are matched by very few new rappers in the game. With his partner Ivan Jackson (Brasstracks) on the boards, it’s truly starting to seem like they can’t miss. On the intro of their latest release S’natra claims he’s been trying to find…

If you’re a rap fan and you’re not following S’natra, you’re fucking up. The Harlem emcee has been steadily impressing us for over year. With Brasstrack’s Ivan Jackson pretty much acting as his exclusive producer, he’s yet to release anything that’s less than great (see ‘Power,’ ‘Opposite Ways’ & ‘Tonight Freestyle’). ‘Offerings’ keeps the consistency flowing. The first verse mixes…

S’natra has quickly become one of our favourite up-and-coming rappers in the game. With Brasstracks’ Ivan Jackson on the beats, it seems the pair can do no wrong. ‘Power’ is another stellar release from the two. The track really sees S’natra coming into his own, honing a peak level of swagger and confidence with bars like, “power, power tripping, labels…

Brooklyn’s own Brasstracks are easily one the year’s biggest standout acts; from SoundCloud darlings to Grammy Award winning Chance The Rapper collaborators. Despite their success, the duo has managed to stay true to their art. They’ve proceeded to evolve while maintaining the signature sound that we all fell in love with. For Those Who Know Part 1 perfectly encapsulates my previous…
