Cover, Videos | Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks (Connor Zwetsch Cover)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 16, 2013
FNT favorite and veteran postee Connor Zwetsch gives us her latest cover. She’s turning this into a routine on Sunday’s and I don’t think I could love it more. Most of the covers posted on music blogs are popular, mainstream songs, but Connor chooses more low key songs, that show off her vocal ability. This week’s cover is a Monsters and Men hit, and Connor does it justice, and although I’ve never loved the original song, Connor’s version entrances me. Check out the video above and be on the lookout for more Connor coming on Sunday’s.
Hip-Hop | Jetpack Jones – Golden Skeletons (Feat. James Joseph)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 10, 2013
FNT favorite and faithful Jetpack Jones dropped a gem about 10 days ago but I missed it, surprising, I know. It has less than one thousand plays, so you will all still be among the first to hear it, which I’m sure your ecstatic about. Golden Skeleton’s is featuring James Joseph, who was also featured on my favorite Jetpack release of all time, Solar. James has a knack for creating catchy hooks and his entrancing voice always leaves you wanting more. Jetpack’s verses are solid as always, as his consistency is something I’ve come to love in a world where every rapper has a copycat flow. Check out the track below and be on the lookout for the full Beyond Infinity project dropping soon.
Chill, Cover, Videos | Connor Zwetsch – No Rain (Blind Melon cover)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 4, 2013
FNT’s own Connor Zwetsch offers up her newest cover to mellow us all out on this hyped up, crazy, alcohol filled day. Her latest, a cover of Blind Melon’s “No Rain,” is upbeat and catchy, and Connor’s voice puts an interesting and fun twist on the song, and really shows off her tremendously powerful and gorgeous vocal chords. Fun fact for everybody, this is the song Connor sang on The Voice, and NONE of the judges turned around. I would’ve turned around. Happy 4th to all, be safe.
Hip-Hop, Videos | KYLE – BANG ft. Mr. Man
Posted by J_Salzer on July 4, 2013
I know it’s late, but it’s too good not to post. Kyle latest video features great production and solid visuals. I think the beat, crafted by Tomas Barfod, could easily function as a stand alone trap song, but with Kyle rapping over it, it makes it an even better piece of music. Mr. Man, who’s featuring on the track, holds his own, which is difficult to do on a song with Kyle. Kyle has been on fire lately, so hop on the bandwagon now before all your friends do. Check out the video above, download in the description, have a great Independence day, and Love Kyle.
Hip-Hop, Rap | No Trace – The Wakeup Call (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on June 26, 2013
Be weary folks, I am in fact posting a mixtape by two 16 year old rappers. I know that’s an immediate turn off for most of you, and I respect that, but if you can, lend your ears to the two youngesters not legally allowed to buy a pack of cigarettes from 7/11. The duo of No Trace has released their sophomore effort, which is perfect because they are also sophomores in high school. Now when you listen through this tape, which I would reccomend, be aware that some of their music might hit you as a tad immature or boyish, but that’s because they’re just that. Forget the lack of beautiful album artwork and other aesthetics and just listen to the raw talent of these kids. These two 16 year olds are setting themselves up for a rap career, the potential is there, and they will likely be cashing in on it in the years to come. So grab the mixtape below and be on the lookout for these two making moves.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Jetpack Jones – Before Infinity: The Universe’s Pregame
Posted by J_Salzer on June 25, 2013
Well, for those of you that didn’t think Jetpack Jones loved you, here’s 8 track to prove to you he doesn’t. You all know how much free music the Lakewood native blesses us with, but this is something else. In addition to releasing a full mixtape in this coming weeks, he gives us a PRE TAPE, filled with 8 solid songs I guarantee you can all chill out to. Jetpack Jones is easily the hardest working rapper I’ve ever had the opportunity to present to you all on FNT, so please support him by downloading his tape via our buddies at Hot New Hip Hop below and grabbing the full project, Beyond Infinity, when it drops.
Cover, Indie, Pop, Videos | I Love It Cover – Icona Pop (by Connor Zwetsch)
Posted by J_Salzer on June 23, 2013
FNT superstar and music blog novice Connor Zwetsch has given us her newest cover. This time, the beautiful, soulful singer takes on Icona Pop’s hit “I Love It,” I hadn’t heard the original until Connor’s cover made me curious, and Connor’s version had me speechless. She takes songs that originally are more poppy, and flips them into a passionate, smooth and soulful ballad. She puts so much emotion into every line and you can tell that by her facial expression and the music. Big things to come from the Tampa native Connor Zwetsch, FNT will keep you updated.
