I was recently surfing YouTube (as I often do to pass time); when I became aware of an artist name Fresh Daily. Now, I know to some I am late with discovering this brother, but one thing I always say is better late than never. Lord knows, it would have been sad for me to have never gotten the chance to experience such a talented brother. Plus, with Daily being a fellow Brooklynite; I already knew he was going to bring a certain vibe that only us BK heads could personify.

Now for those who may be clueless to Fresh Daily’s Bio; it goes something like this: He is an emcee, graphic designer, whose persona and prowess makes it hard to disagree with his self-proclaimed title of himself as “the New Jack of Brooklyn boom bap”. Originally going by the name, Ill Tarzan”, he was forced to drop the name due to legal issues with the family of the Tarzan author, Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The lyricist gained notoriety on the NYC underground circuit. He released his first two projects, “Life Music”, his debut album, and premier mixtape “Treats” back in 2008. In 2009,  he then released his sophomore album, “Fresh Daily is the Gorgeous Killer in Crimes of Passion” on High Water Music; featuring appearances by Illmind,88 Keys, Dj Spinna, Frequency, Analogic, 2 Hungry Bros(on production) and several noted emcee’s (Cool Calm Pete (Embedded/Def Jux), Tanya Morgan (Loud Minority/ABB) Homeboy Sandman just to name a few.

Lately, you can find this emcee modeling for several street wear brands (Live Mechanics, Leroy Jenkins, Methods NYC, IHMDJ and Brooklyn Surfer) or having his paintings in galleries throughout the city. He has also performed in various venues in the U.S, to support those efforts. With UVink backing him, he hopes to move his exposure to the next level. Fresh recently released a music video he shot, edited, and starred for the Illmind produced song ,”Get Over”, which picked up over 25,000 hits on YOUTUBE within 3 days. Future aspirations for Fresh Daily include: soundtracks, a T-shirt line and collaboration with several clothing lines. As well as, acting, modeling, more graphic illustration, and plans to design his very own sneaker line.
