Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | KYLE – Keep It Real (Official Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 15, 2013
A video that I’ve had to keep on the DL for about a month now, Keep It Real, has finally dropped. I’ve been itching to share it with you all, but on the orders of Kyle’s camp, I had to wait till Valentine’s Day. Although it isn’t really a Valentine’s Day song(and it’s not really Valentine’s Day), it’s still pretty freaking awesome. Kyle has a knack for catchy hooks, and always finds the right producers to sculpt the feel that he creates with his lyrics, on this song, the infamous DJ Carnage. I see too many people posting and calling him a “wannabe Drake,” which I disagree strongly. It seems ridiculous that people see a rapper using a certain style, in this case, rapping and singing, and then call everyone else who uses that style, a wannabe. Now that you’re most likely annoyed and pissed off at me for that rant, check out the video above and buy the song on iTunes here.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Mi Zona – Jetpack Jones
Posted by J_Salzer on February 10, 2013
An artist that I have been acquainted with for about a year and a half now, Jetpack Jones, drops off his newest video. When I first heard his music, I was immediately entranced by his positive vibe and imaginative style of rapping. He spreads a message of positivity and peacefulness that the rap game is seriously lacking. His latest track, Mi Zona, is no different. The electro fused beat, produced by Crayon Stars, provides the perfect platform for Jetpack to show off his flow. Check out the video above and be on the lookout for Afterburners 3: The Brink.
Abstract Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Videos | Marc Goone – Yung Walter White (prod. Aaron Zuckerman)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 8, 2013
Aaaaand Marc Goone is back with his best video to date. Marc is easily one of the most creative artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of being acquainted with. When I began watching and tweeting about Breaking Bad, Marc and I bonded over our love for Walter Jr. and when he told me he was making a video based on the hit series, I was ecstatic. Without a great track, this video would be nothing, and on that score, Marc delivers. The beat, produced by Aaron Zuckerman, has a creepy, edgy feel that Marc takes over with a catchy hook and hard verses. Check out the video above and check out Marc and I’s hilarious banter on his twitter.
Chill, Hip-Hop | Jacob Es – Swimming in the Sublime (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 6, 2013
This post is about two weeks late, and for that I apologize. But I’ve been hella busy, and I’m just having the chance to sit down and take a listen to Jacob Es’ latest mixtape. I’ve been listening to Jacob’s music since I first started blogging about a year and a half ago. I’ve seen steady improvement from Jacob, and that’s one of the main things I look for in upcoming artists.
On his tape, Swimming in the Sublime, Jake picks up solid features from Reeves of Aer and FNT favorite Jetpack Jones. The production is solid throughout, with up-tempo, positive beats without too much synthesizers and other electronic instruments we often hear on the radio. Just looking at the album cover, you’ll get a feel for where this mixtape will take you. Check out the mixtape in it’s entirety below via soundcloud.
Chill, Hip-Hop, RnB | Tinashe ft. Chance the Rapper – Ecstasy (Remix)
Posted by J_Salzer on January 29, 2013
I must admit, when I first heard this, I was reminded of Drake and Aaliyah’s Enough Said. I mean that as a compliment, because that was one of my favorite R&B/rap remixes of 2012. Something about a beautiful voice paired with one beautiful, smooth, verse delivered by a rapper with talent does it for me. To be frank, I like this song more than I like Enough Said. I think Tinashe’s voice is beautiful, sensual, and soothing. I can’t say enough about Chancelor Bennett. Ever since FNT’s own Dshaq put me on him about a year ago, I’ve never been disappointed by his music, and this verse is no different. Big things are happening for Chance in 2013, that’s a promise. Love to Pigeons and Planes for premiering this beauty and for the embed code below. Download the original song and Tinashe’s full project here.
Chill, Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Jetpack Jones – Afterburners 3 Mini Movie (FNT Exclusive)
Posted by J_Salzer on January 22, 2013
FNT favorite and frequenter Jetpack Jones drops off his longest video to date. Being the fact that it’s quite literally a mini-movie, it spans 7 and a half minutes, but they’re an enjoyable 7 and a half minutes. Jetpack and a few of the homies that will be featuring on Afterburners 3 all star in the movie. The music is on point, my favorite track being the old school sample one that happens after the first encounter with LB, who’s clowning on a statue in King park. Jetpack Jones is the only rapper I know who has been consistently releasing good music for the past two years, and if this is any indication of what his next project will be like, then I can’t wait. Like his facebook page below and check out the video above.
Cover, Videos | Justin Timberlake – Suit and Tie Ft. Jay Z (PropaneLv Cover) [Video]
Posted by J_Salzer on January 17, 2013
On the heels of the post below, crafted by my legendary partner Mach, I give you another take on Justin Timberlake’s latest single. PropaneLv puts his own twist on the pop sensations latest. I really like this version, but I was a fan of the original, unlike the blogfather, A. This video was edited by FNT veteran Chi Duly, so you know it’s good. Check it out above and make sure you check out Propane’s twitter, you won’t regret it.
