Here’s the official debut of the brand new mixtape from the DMV’s finest – the Low Budget crew. If you’re really up on your Twitter game (twame?), you might’ve caught the leak of an early, rougher mix yesterday – but this is the official, tracked-out and finished version with artwork by LB’s own, DJ [...]
Today brings us the first ever FRESHclusive album, courtesy of DC veteran MC/producer (and currently best known as one third of the Diamond District), yU. The album, Before Taxes was first released as a 7 track promo EP a few months back, but available here for the first time anywhere is the full 16 [...]

Alright – now that that’s outta the way… lets move on to an MC that’s actual worth listening to – with an exclusive first listen to the upcoming project from one of my favorites right now: Finale. The project is entitled T.I.M.E. (which stands for Think Innovate Move Endure), and ironically, there’s kind of [...]
Here’s the exclusive premiere of some live footage from both Invincible & Finale’s performances from SXSW last week. With Invincible dropping the delayed “Ropes” video soon, “Looongawaited” is too fitting of a track to pass up (the video will be well worth the wait – trust). Similarly anticipated, Finale will be dropping both his [...]
In preparation for Finale’s upcoming album, A Pipe Dream & A Promise, his label, iM Culture, has released an online mini-video game called Super Finale. If you beat the game below, you’ll be rewarded with a free download of the album track, “One Man Show” produced by Black Milk. Use your Left, Right [...]
Today marks the debut of my new podcast, simply titled Fresh Selects Radio. Even though this is the first episode, it feels like the second in a way, because its more or less a follow-up to the Loose Joints mixtape I put together last fall. Just like that, its a collection showcasing both [...]
Just when all the over-saturation and post-mortem bandwagoners almost had me putting all my favorite Dilla shit back on the shelf – in comes the official torchbearer, House Shoes, to re-ignite the spark. His forthcoming mixtape (in the truest sense of the word), The King James Version, is a smoke-filled trip through the used [...]
For everyone who hit me up about the new Finale tracks from the Loose Joints unmixed-tape and asked for more – I got you. Fresh from Finale himself, we’ve got another pair of new tracks – “Jungle Music (All Day),” his take on Baltimore club/go-go music produced by Nick Tha 1da, and the introspective [...]

First off, I just wanted to say Thank You once again to everyone who’s hit me up about the Loose Joints mixtape. I’m glad you guys liked it – I’ve got some more mixes on their way soon, so stay tuned for more on those.
I’ll be [...]
As promised, here’s the first-ever Fresh Selects mixtape. No, it’s not really mixed – its just a .zip full of tracks that I’ve been feeling lately, and/or been meaning to post about. I’m gonna be gone for the next couple of days so I wanted to put this up to hold you guys [...]
Today I’ve got your first listen of the new single from one of my favorite MC tag teams, Invincible & Finale. Michigan’s finest duo are at it again – this time with “Don’t Sleep,” an awakening system shock aimed at all the zombies out there. The track features Invincible on the verses, Finale [...]
