Hip-Hop, Videos | OCD: Moosh and Twist – Top of the World (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on March 11, 2013
The last two releases from the duo of Moosh and Twist have been on point. After releasing “All Alright” last week, they hit another home run with “On Top of the World.” They’ve been experimenting with a poppier, more energetic, happier, style, and I couldn’t be enjoying it more. The video, filmed by Ian Wolfson, known to the common folk as Rex Arrow, is incredible. I know it’s a Monday, but if you don’t feel good while watching this video, pop a molly or something, because I can’t help you. Back to the Basement drops tomorrow, FNT will have it. Shoutout to our friends at Good Music All Day with the exclusive release, y’all got a winner.
Cover, Hip-Hop, Videos | Frank Ocean – Eyes Like Sky (Rendition) by SoMo
Posted by J_Salzer on March 10, 2013
Every Sunday night, I am hit with the blues. My weekend is coming to a close, normal life resumes tomorrow, and I must continue the mundane task that is school. But alas, I have a saving grace. Every Sunday in recent memory, SoMo has released a new rendition. SoMo Sunday has become a staple of my weekend, and I’ve even found myself looking forward to Sunday night…a little bit. This week, SoMo takes on a Frank Ocean track, which is an extremely daunting task. Frank Ocean is an incredibly talented singer, but also an incredibly talented story teller. He sings with emotion and passion, much like SoMo. I logged on to Twitter a few minutes ago, and saw that SoMo had posted the video 23 seconds ago, after clicking on it, I noticed that the YouTube comments were already filled with women swooning over this week’s SoMo Sunday. I am not afraid to admit that I’ve lost more than one woman to the voice of Mr. SoMo. Maybe next week he will take on a Mr. Steal Yo Girl song?
Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Julian Stephen – Booty Call Hrs (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on March 5, 2013
It’s not often that I’m approached via facebook message with music from artists I’ve never heard of. I take that back, that happens multiple times a day. What’s rare is me actually listening to that music, and what’s even RARER, almost unheard of, is me ENJOYING the song. But this, this my dear friends, is an anomaly. After Shawn Setaro of Rap Genius introduced me to Derrick, Julian’s manager, I had to listen. Shawn gave his endorsement, and that man’s word is bond. This time it was no different, after first hearing the track, I replayed it three times. After first watching the video, I watched it twice. Julian Stephen embodies New York rap. His beats, his flow, his lyricism. Check out the video above, and get yourself a booty call tonight.
Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – Skyfall
Posted by J_Salzer on February 27, 2013
Another Wednesday morning, another Timeflies Tuesday. No knock to the boys, they’ve been hella busy these last couple of months. But of course, they still have time to drop an awesome video every Tuesday. When I saw the first Timeflies Tuesday two summers ago, I immediately knew that it would quickly become a YouTube staple. This weeks video is one of the classics of Cal freestyling. Rez whips up a quick Skyfall beat, and puts a little pitch bend on Adele’s beautiful James Bond theme. I will never not be impressed by Cal’s ability to think on his feet and come up with sick rhymes while pulling them out of some sort of container. When I first saw the “Carry on my Wayward Son” video, I was in awe. Nothing has changed.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Videos | Jetpack Jones – Hover Board ft. LB (Prod. By Fly Mafia)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 26, 2013
I feel like every week I’m posting a new Jetpack Jones track or video. I checked the archives and that is actually an accurate fact. As long as he keeps making solid music and filming gorgeous videos, you’ll be hearing new Jetpack Jones music consistently for the next year. When you live in a place as stunning as California, it’s fairly easy to create aesthetically pleasing videos. Jetpack takes advantage of his homelands, filming Hover Board on California’s finest beach. Check out the video above, and download the tape below if you haven’t already.
Hip-Hop, Pop, Videos | Hoodie Allen – Fame is for Assholes (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 18, 2013
Call me an asshole, but I wouldn’t mind being famous. Either way, Hoodie Allen is doing it right. Hoodie goes back to the Leap Year rapping days on this, and I love it. Chiddy does his thing as always, and drops a few sweet bars. Crew Cuts drops in two days. See you then. I don’t know what happened to our hip-pop tab, but this is definitely hip-pop, so just pretend that’s what it says.
Albums | Jetpack Jones – Afterburners 3: The Brink (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 18, 2013
My favorite and your’s, Jetpack Jones, hits us with ANOTHER free mixtape. Jetpack is one of my favorite rappers out right now, because his music puts you in a different mindset than most of the stuff you hear on Worldstar or something. Don’t get me wrong, I like gangster rap as much as the next blogger, but sometimes I need a change of pace. Jetpack Jones is that change of pace. His latest mixtape features terrific bars from the Lakewood native, paired with beats fitting his creative rapping style. The tape is hosted by DJ Charisma, so you know it’s good. Download below and support Jetpack on Twitter and Facebook.
