Real U: 100 downloads! It's Official!

The 11 month old, Hard Time For Lovers (Afro-Deep Blend) from DJ Real U's Vandalism mixtape, has finally reached its peak of 100 downloads.

Featured on the online sound-sharing website, Soundcloud, the House music bootleg from former Touch Radio & Radio Shawty DJ, DJ Real U, slowly but surely met the Soundcloud download limit of 100 downloads per song, as it escalated throughout the year.

Released November 2011, on Real U's Vandalism, the song quickly grew House fanatics attention as it embrends the sound of Rocco & Robert C. Walker, well-known names in the Deep House industry.

Along with 491 plays, the song has officially become the most downloaded song by a Touch Radio artist, overstepping DJ D33psoul's It's All About which instantly increased in download numbers since its release in late August.

The mixtape howsoever, was only fully released roundabout five months ago on realudj.tk due to Real U's transition to the Hip-Hop genre.

His latest release 50/50: The Vision attracted new audiences as Real U now focuses on consciousness in the music industry. So far Thank You (Unforgettable Freestyle) is Real U's most played Hip-Hop track with 259 plays on Soundcloud, followed by New Me (Miss Me Freestlyle) trailing in second with 150 plays in 2 months. These numbers could greatly increase if they were by any means promoted.
 
Other excellent figures for Real U is the famous Kwaito sensation Jezebel, which earned him 21,153 views on YouTube for his 'DJ Real U Dub Mix', featured on his earlier, 2010 double disc release entitled, Greenroom Mixtape. A total of 29,426 YouTube views lie behind this once emerging, consistent, passionate & skilful DJ. Real U's music is yet to peak elsewhere.

Real U keeps it Real COOL! One Truth and One Mixtape.

Former DJ, Real U (also known as Real Mixwell) dropped his revolutionary mixtape 50/50: The Vision last week, on the very first day of Spring on the African continent. With this 1st September release, there were no delays in getting it! Regardless of how the tape was pushed back 2 weeks since it's proposed release date, the mixtape received instant download numbers and positive comments from various listeners.

Its promotion however was kept to a low, as Real U intends to provide his listeners with quality lyrics and sound. The production of The Vision can be criticised, but for many it has been overlooked as the editing and lyrically content filled the tape with a potential flow.

Feats from Lil' Beats and LiLReD helped narrow the solo feel of the release, with Kristie Alexandra vocally supporting the mixtape in its introductory stage on Crash Down.

Bonus songs Last Goodbye & Got Me Down paved a smooth ending to the 25-track Christian-based Conscious Hip-Hop fiasco. Local beat maker, Lee-Rick and musician Noel Kearns, helped as well as Real U thankfully credits them for their work. The mixtape is certainly a must hear for many. The question is not really 'who is Real U?' but rather 'what can he do?'

Title based on 1 Corinthians 13:12, '50/50' reflects both an uncertain image of life and the hope of a fulfilled vision in Christ.

Inspired to serve, this 18 year old lyricst, speaks either truth or a really brutal message to the youth. Days after the tape's release, Real U decided to tweet his expressive flow, under the hashtag #5050TheVision. No stranger to tweeting rhymes, the youngin' promotes Christian Hip Hop from the likes of Lecrae, Trip Lee & Bizzle, regularly through socially networking.

What lies in store for his artistic future? Only God knows.

It's All About D33psoul - Touch RJ, Drops His First Record

The 2nd most dominant Touch Radio artist on the web, DJ D33psoul, finally put his skills to the work when the forces of all things House collaborated between the Eastern Cape and Gauteng. 

His once and always great partner in crime, DJ Ndwaz10 who now goes by Ample-Goon, stirred up a dramatic piece of Deep House entitled It’s All About. The song first received recognition last month on its date of release. Since then it has elapsed 82 downloads, the 2nd highest from a Touch Radio jock trailing behind Real U's Hard Time For Lovers Afro Blend mash-up, which received 97-downloads so far.

 

Let's not forget, this is his first. The question stands as to whether there will be more to this anticipated artist, or will this turn into a one hit wonder.

Remarks on the song were equally received, but the deep house flavour of the song remains. It's everything deep house proving that D33psoul lives up to his name.

Real U Now 100%! Vandalism Gets Full Distrubution

The once ambitious House DJ, DJ Real U, has set various flames in the underground industry with leaks from his much anticipated mixtape Vandalism. A mixtape which took about half the year to complete, has now officially met its peak, when Real U Productions & the West Coast Finest team decided to distribute it one last time in 2012.

Today, 24 June marks a memorious day as Real U becomes the first Touch Radio artist (amongst the like of Ndwaz10 & DJ D33psoul) to submit a full mixtape online. His mixtape is now available at the official DJ Real U website (realudj.tk) as well as on 4shared.

Following various local feedback, the mixtape has gotten nothing but positive vibes since Real U's previous Greenroom Mixtape was distributed. Following 4 previous mixtapes, Vandalism has become the first to receive full support as rumours suggest Real U will no longer be involved in the House Music industry.

Outstanding for a beginner.

My advice is "to play more of the words and slow a bit down on the mixing part, people like singing along with the music...but that's my opinion."


STANDOUT TRACKS:

Track 16 - 'Just Wait' is awesome - it's got a cool beat.

Track 9 - 'If We Ever Meet Again' should have played bit more of the original song.

Track 15 - 'Candy Shop (Afro-Jack Blend)' the mixing is very kwaai

Track 4 - 'All Of The Lights' I also like

Must compliment the artist on the CD cover, It's rather professional.

CONSTRUCTIVE ADVICE:
(to the artist)

If you wana pursue this DJ'ing as a carrer - I'd advise you to mix a greater variety off genres, such as something slower.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I enjoyed listening to this CD.
