Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Flatbush ZOMBiES – Better off Dead (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on September 11, 2013
I haven’t been this excited for a mixtape since Chance dropped Acid Rap, and we all know how that one turned out. Anywho, Flatbush ZOMBiES released their brand spanking new 19 track mixtape with two features, Action Bronson and Danny Brown. These guys are the next ones to blow, especially after seeing them at North Coast Music Festival Labor Day weekend. Peep the tape below and make sure to download it as well.
Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalifa – Look Into My Eyes
Posted by dshaq on August 21, 2013
Wiz Khalifa dropped this brand new track the other day off of his upcoming project, Blacc Hollywood. A similar Wiz sound, produced by Sledgren (big surprise), Wiz takes the mellow approach to the song giving it a very laid back sound. We haven’t heard from Wiz in a while, and I’m very interested to see how Blacc Hollywood turns out. Sound off in the comments about what your feelings are towards the song.
Ambient | Yahtzel – High With Me
Posted by dshaq on August 9, 2013
Where do I even begin with this song? There are so many things right with this song, it’s unbelievable. The simple melodic piano, the high pitch voice that just works, the fantastic drums, those jungle vibes towards the end of the song, the list goes on and on. Get in tune with Yahtzel and the genre that is ambient trap, it’s coming for ya. Peep this track below and like the man’s FB for the download. You’re gonna want it, trust me.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Lucki Eck$ – Alternative Trap (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 26, 2013
A little while ago I posted Lucki Eck$’ video, Everything Out$ide, a song that really put Lucki on a lot of people’s radars, but today, we receive his debut mixtape and it’s a must download. With a flow comparable to Joey Bada$$, Lucki Eck$ definitely has the makings of a star. Peep the tape below and make sure to download it as well. Be on the lookout for this kid down the line, you’ll be hearing a lot more of him.
Electro, Trap | Jaymes Young – What Is Love (Tim Gunter 808 Remix)
Posted by dshaq on July 23, 2013
Not many times do you get a remix of a remix that is better than the original remix. A tongue twister, yes, but a true statement as well. Tim Gunter, long time FNT favorite, delivers his newest work. Taking a song that had great meaning to him, Tim didn’t try to change the song, rather he accentuated it. Building on that great guitar riff and vocals, Tim adds heavier drums and some synth lines to give the song a more upbeat feeling all the while keeping the same serious tone. Definitely give this one a listen, I’m sure it’ll tickle your fancy.
Hip-Hop | Vic Mensa – Hollywood LA (Official Video)
Posted by dshaq on July 18, 2013
Captivating. That would probably sum up my feelings of Vic Mensa’s last two releases. The Chicago emcee goes in on yet another perfect summer sounding beat displaying not only his fancy raps, but his impressive golden pipes as well. Look for young Victor to break away from the Kids These Days and Chance the Rapper associations and make a name for himself with his newest upcoming mixtape, Innanetape. Big things on the way for Vic.
Hip-Hop | Joey Bada$$ – Summer Knights (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 2, 2013
The sophomore mixtape from New York’s Joey Badass has finally arrived. To be personally honest the tape didn’t really do it for me. I enjoy the 90s sound that Joey has but with this tape, it didn’t bring that 1999 vibe that made Joey so big. Most of the songs off Summer Knights follow a more bassline heavy type that embrace his raps. Don’t get me wrong, I could listen to Joey’s raps for days but with a follow up mixtape, but I would have liked to see more diversity amongst the songs. All and all it definitely is still a must listen and download. I’m very interested to see where Joey goes from here, especially with who he signs with. Get familiar with Mr. Bada$$, because I he’s definitely one of the new faces of hip hop.
