DownBeat Keys – The Children / You Ain’t Gonna Go Far
I remember back when Gym Class Heroes really started taking off. It was something new and unique for mainstream music. There wasn’t too much live music hip hop on the radio. Then, more recently, I got to see Jay-Z’s tour after he released Blueprint III and he played with a 9-piece band.
Well it’s a trend that seems to grow. Live music + hip-hop can have some great outcomes. The DownBeat Keys are a group out of Brooklyn that I’ve featured before and they’ve just released their first album this month. Download the tracks for free here from Soundcloud, or get the entire album from their site while you’re at it.
They’re worth a listen and more than anything, I’m interested in where they go from here. Hopefully they do go far. I haven’t gotten through the whole album but here are two tracks I’ve enjoyed so far.
