2010 A3C Artist Spotlight: Fresh

Written by Mike Walbert | Oct 1

Fresh is performing on the SMKA: Stargazing showcase Friday, Oct 8th.

Enter the world of the "Fly Guy." One of the hottest up and coming hip-hop artists out of the South, Fresh is the epitome of what music in its essence is. Linking an independent production deal with Team E.C.S.T.A.C.Y, working with BOOM Foundry, LLC, Greyroom Produxtions and Base Creative Media can be a lot to juggle for the smooth, southern gentleman raised in Lavonia, Georgia aka “LAGA.” Fresh is ambitiously here to prove to music-lovers worldwide that he will be a tough act to follow. With a mixture of metaphorically enticing lyrics, cat-like flow, and a boisterous southern demeanor, Fresh is not an artist you will want to overlook for years to come.

Fresh proves himself to be a very hard-working artist who puts a lot of time and effort into mastering his craft as well as business aspects; somewhat of a perfectionist. He’s had the pleasure of performing alongside some of the hottest upcoming artists such as Travis Porter, Donnis, Kidz in the Hall, Writtenhouse, Stanza, Dead Prez, Pac Div, Dow Jones, Kooley High, Aleon Craft, Killer Mike, Bubba Sparxxx & J.Cole, among others to name a few. Within only a year time span since he started his career in early 2009, he’s gained much respect, recognition, and publicity throughout the Northeast Georgia area as well as the blogs for his music. His music is very versatile when it comes to sound and delivery and his lyricism and punchlines are very crisp and catchy. Subject matter within his music is very creative and he does not allow himself to fit in with popular trends due to his versatility and creative abilities.

Fresh has released two solo projects thus far, “Fresh Prince of GA” and most recently the instant classic “SpeakerBoxXx & NoseBleedZ;” both available for free download at www.greyroomproduxtions.com/fresh and featured on blogs such as KevinNottingham.com, SMKAExperience.com, HerHipHop.com, BLVDst.com, and TeamECSTACY.com. He is currently working with Team E.C.S.T.A.C.Y to produce his EP entitled “ECSTACY” and a joint EP with J.Skeezy entitled "Euphoria" which should both possibly release in the spring of 2011. With the release of the single "Bulldog Nation," featuring J.Skeezy, Fresh has managed to create a presence within the University of Georgia community by working with its athletic staff to produce quality music for all athletic events within his tenure there as a student and former athlete.
