Fresh Daily - The Quiet Life

This week’s pick comes from Ambassador Airtight.

"HaLo, TP and Skyzoo all on one track could probably stand alone as a reason to have this track as the Pick of the Week. …but there are more reasons.  The smooth production along with the clever lyrics give us a wonderful tribute to J. Dilla.  ”Plan B” is one of those tracks you throw on that playlist you listen to when you’re about to do something great with your day."

"Enjoy Tonight" Feat. ScienZe prod. by King I Divine

Rrrright! I’ve been working on The Hustlers Catalog for a minute and I’m very excited for you all to hear it. I was blessed to work with some talented producers and artists and I hope that you all love and appreciate what we’ve cooked up.

T.H.C. was a more personal project for me and it gave me an opportunity to touch on certain subjects that I’ve been through in life, which I’m sure many of you have been through as well. - DZA

Again, I appreciate you all. Enjoy!

A potent myriad of sounds emanating from the ride through the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn. With it's destination routed directly in boom-bap bass, the stops at Soul and Electronica provide fresh and innovative glimpes into all corners of this albums sound. Innovation being a recurring theme in Fresh Daily's projects this one is no different. Inviting Om'mas Keith, Murs, Black Spade, Melo-X, P.U.D.G.E, Shigeto and more onto the journey into the mindscape of a good guy makes this trip into Brooklyn's varied indie hip-hop scene one to talk about.

Workin It Out ft Moruf & Black Spade (prod. by Suede Jury)

I wrote this song in 2003. I was 23 years old. I'd been living on my own for 4 years and loving Brooklyn. I would go to The 5 spot on Myrtle Ave for open mic night. There were these 2 beautiful women who would sing there, Anisa & Augi. When I say sing, they RIPPED IT DOWN. When I linked w/ Substantial's crew and began recording what would eventually become my debut album, I asked both Anisa and Augi to help me talk about my borough on this track prod. by Algorythm.
Ultimately, this song didn't make the album and my name changed from ILL TARZAN to Fresh Daily. I moved from Ft. Greene to Bed-Stuy. Substantial moved back to Maryland. Algorythm took a hiatus from production for design. Things change, people drift apart. I'd see/speak to Augi, Anisa, Algorythm and Substantial significantly less.....

In January 2012, we lost Anisa to cancer. I never even knew she was sick. I found out while in a studio session with her high school friend, Om'mas Keith who told me she passed. Shocked and stunned, I couldn't believe someone so full of life and talent was gone.

Anyone who knows me knows that while music is my life, it's my escape oftentime so I'm not really personal in my music like that. (Probably another reason why this song has stayed hidden in my iTunes for so long)

Recently, while lamenting and reminiscing simultaneously on FB on how NYC and Brooklyn have changed exponentially and waxing nostalgic about how things were, a friend suggested I put more of these"last-of-the-mohican" type rants in my music. I immediately thought of this song. Anisa's Birthday just passed on July 14th. As her voice popped up on this track (I havent listened to this song in probably 2 years) I immediately decided to post this song online.

Enjoy.
Rest in power, Anisa.
Brooklyn Forever.

Around The Way (Final)

"The idea behind Jansport Strings is not based on it being literal, but more so in the figurative sense. As a kid in NY, the strings on your Jansport bag were a sign of power and presence. Kids would steal the strings off of each other's bags and burn the tips to prevent getting robbed of them once they got them. The song is a 3 minute auto-bio of me as a kid in Brooklyn and seeing more than my friends and I had bargained for. In essence, my Jansport strings tied it all together, seeing what we all saw and what it made us. The ending is a clip from Video Music Box, the legendary NYC video show run by DJ Ralph McDaniels. This episode in particular was the debut of Chi-Ali's 'Age Ain't Nothin But A Number'. Seeing that video that day on this episode of VMB made me start rhyming. This clip was literally the moment that changed my life". -Skyzoo
