He’s back for the first time since last year! Rhyme Flow’s done a Fritzy and added his own Octavia-themed vocals to an already existing instrumental. This song is all about Octavia’s fluctuating drive and passion for the music she plays, something that I’m sure resonates with y’all other musicians reading this.
Rap / Hip-Hop
Feather – Like Breathing (Buffalo Brony Rework) | Chillout / Rap
This song is giving me nostalgia for Feather’s singing all over again. Here Buffy took one of Feather’s old songs and added his own rap vocals to it; a simple but effective way to give a voice to his thoughts. Not so much of a pony song as his other works, but pleasant nonetheless.
Vylet Pony – 真美 ( ft. / / K y u n n ) | Chillout
It means “True Beauty”, before you ask. Vylet’s been experimenting around with chill / hip-hop stuff recently, and I’m loving it! Check out this wonderful new song, it’s very relaxing.
Vylet Pony – Princess | Chill / Hip-Hop
Have something chill and cute to end the day. Vylet is transcending genres as he often does with this chill, hip-hop, futurey(?) song he made to help fill the gap before his upcoming albums is released. It’s nice.
StridentMars – Ages (ft. Buffalo Brony & Cadie) | Rap / Hip-Hop
A song about how Equestria was made Pinkie Pie got her cutie mark from StridentMars, Buffy and Cadie, taking the hook from The Smile Song and elements from Friendship Through The Ages. It’s great to see Buffy back on the scene again, let’s hope we see more of him soon!
MC-Arch & Jyc Row – Something Worth Fighting For | Orchestral / Rap
Having met at a pony convention, rapper MC-Arch & orchestral composer Jyc Row decided to team up for a fusion of genres and this resulting collab is the token of the power of the union of talents and strong beliefs. Something Worth Fighting For, much in MC-Arch’s signature style and concept, warms the heart with its soothing yet powerful and heartfelt message conveyed through strong yet tender rapping, while the instrumentation by Jyc Row charms with its gentle melodies that are much reminding of traditional Japanese music even though played through his signature bagpipes.
For more songs of this kind (and tributes to Fluttershy), I recommend MC-Arch’s latest solo track In Her Name, as well as others that you can check on his channel!
MC-Arch – In Her Name | Electronic / Rap
Serving as a sequel to his 2015 song, The Butterfly, MC-Arch gives us another Fluttershy-inspired song. The thing I admire the most about Arch’s songs is that his lyrics come straight from the heart; he’s never afraid to express his true self in his music, and his passion shows through in his songs. Check out In Her Name above for a classic example of this.
Ponies At Dawn – Awakening | Album | Multi-Genre
After weeks, no, months of anticipation, it’s finally here. The new Ponies At Dawn Album, Awakening, has finally been released. A compilation of 54 amazing tracks from just as many artists, this album brings together – in my opinion – one of the best selections of music the brony fandom has to offer. And the best thing is, you can download it for free, or pay whatever you want for it! Here’s to everyone involved for their hard work in putting this together!
♫ We’ll find awakening my friend ♪
♪ We’ll find salvation at the end ♫
♫ Of the world we’ll start again ♪
Coconeru & Steven, A.D. – Tavi and Scratch (A Tropical Octav3) (Drixale Remix) | Reggaetón
A completely unexpected and very refreshing new take on A Tropical Octav3, here is Drixale’s Reggaetón remix, bringing tropical vibes and all the fun stuff we’re not used to hear. Don’t mind the cover art, though – I’m sure she’ll be fine!
Hay Tea – Rarity Noir | Hip Hop Instrumental
All the potential from season 5 episodes is far from being dried up. It continues to inspire, resulting in musical interpretations such as this smooth Hip Hop Instrumental track that fits very well to the mood of Rarity Investigates!, perhaps making for a great “main theme” for the episode.
