Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 30th Jan 2017: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch227

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

Dreams:


I'm sure we all got dreams/ May not be strong but we all got teams// 
May not be long but we all got P/ Gimmie more dat Me gimmie more'ah'dat//



'06, thats where it all started/ 1st mixtape an nah it weren't college// 
Talkin' high school, back wen I wrote garbage/ But the flow was hard yeah we're goin' hard// 
Made nuff sales, we sold the hard back/ Backpack full of CD's on our back// 
Backpack full of CD's we bought dat/ Then hustled everyday then we made it all back// 
An made a profit, then lanes with options/ kept open up as i was growin' up// 
We tore up shows yeah only us/ hearing niggas sing my songs when I'm on the bus// 
Yeah we're making it, even tho this shit might take a bit/ even when life might take the piss just stay optimum and stay optimist// 
Mixtape 2 now I'm locking in/ I'm tryna fuck the game now my cock is in, I'm tryna cut the lanes// 
Rolled with real niggas man cut the lames/ Rolled with real niggas man fuck the dames// 
Double X chromosome we're all cut the same/ link up wid Sneakz, link up wid Ray// 
Link up wid Kish den link up wid Zaid/ a couple years ago my life was not the same// 
Shit, link Cardo, we go studio/ ..all we ever did was go studio// 
Write on track, but life excuse me/ I could, loose this light, this light could loose me// 
'cause a siren called nigga the siren scooped me/ Had my mind in spirals nigga mind was loopy// 
...addicted like I'm sniffing Charlie Brown a nigga my mind was Snoopy// 
But i bounced backed baby/ used as motivation yeah how's that baby// 
Had me spittin' flows like wow thats crazy/ dropped the EP now we're bout that daily// 
I'm talkin Day in The Life..and part 2/ Feelin' like there really nuttin that I can't do// 
Feelin' like there's really nuttin that i can't move/ then my mums got sick now a nigga can't move// 
Shit...man i should'a pushed thru man i should'a had grit man i should'a dropped tunes/ 
But its hard with the heart ache wen your busy tryna be strong in a dark place// 
...busy tryna get back, yeah that's in my heart's case/ ..shit felt so right that my heart went and took the guitar's place//

Made this tune a while back, was on my "Another Day In The Life" Mixtape. I didn't even know my mum weren't well when I made it, but I'm glad she got to hear time and time again before she passed <3 

People have been requesting to download this song so I've uploaded it here so people can have it. Bless xxx

Buggin' (prod. by Tom Misch) - Marcus Grey x Day Decosta x J O E L

Dear Daddy (Prod. Westy)

Written and Produced by Memory Flowers.

Neoclassical piano ballad lain over 90's Hip-hop beats. With UB40-esque saxophone funk. And the obligatory Post-rock guitars. Oh, and an orchestra. File under: no fucking clue.


Lyrics:

Promise me you’ll always try
even when you are tired
promise you’ll always fight a good clean fight
promise me you won’t give in
when you are old and thin
promise you’ll always fight a good clean fight

and so goodnight to all the doubt
i’ll leave the stage without a sound
a giant heart to you, my friends
you spun me round at the dead ends
your atoms go back in the pot
The endless spiral stirs it up
You get to glimpse a bit of it
So won’t you relish every bit of that glimpse…

stifling the battlecry
allow me to apologise
for any offence that I may have caused
and now the reservoir is dry
I’ve finally fallen quiet
please tell the aliens I said hi

and so goodnight to all the doubt
i’ll leave the stage with just a bow
a bankrupt heart to you, my friends
oh we spent all that we could spend
your atoms go back in the pot
The endless spiral stirs it up
You get to glimpse a bit of it
So won’t you relish every bit of that glimpse…

and so the show continues on
Another dusk another dawn
One day you’re here the next you’re gone
And no one’s travelling alone
your atoms go back in the pot
The endless spiral stirs it up
You get to glimpse a bit of it
So please just relish every bit of that glimpse
