Since their arrival on late 2013, Academy has absolutely amazed with each single, but the one thing never received regularly were visuals. In January the duo unleashed their first set of visuals for their single We Ain’t Never and today the duo teamed up with director Kris Roller to drop one of the more creative music videos we have seen in quite some time for their single Hold Me Down.
Hip-Hop | TJ Hickey – Make Me Work For It (ft Jitta On The Track)

After a few solid releases TJ is back with his best work yet to date, a new club anthem enlisted ‘Make Me Work For It‘. With production sounding like it came straight from DJ Mustard himself, Teddy Roxpin clearly hit the mark on the boards on this one. Following suit with his most recent single posted on FNT, ‘Treadmill’ featuring Alex Jordahl, TJ recruited Connecticut native Jitta On The Track for a classic verse to close out the track. Be sure to check TJ out on Facebook and Twitter.
Alternative, Indie, RnB | LAUV – The Other

‘You have the voice of an angel’ is what I said when I first heard LAUV; No, I am not John C. Reilly and I am not talking about Will Ferrell in Step Brothers. Ok, thats not even what I said, but, ‘Holy shit, I didn’t know you could sing!’ was what I said when LAUV gave me a sneak peak of his debut single a few days prior to its release. Formally known to those in the industry for his EDM producing skills under a different stage name, LAUV is coming out of the gates swinging with his debut single ‘The Other‘.
With a voice you’d expect to be in the next big boy band, ‘The Other‘ consumes you from the first few notes all the way through to the last. There was no doubts about his production skills but he has absolutely outdone himself putting his writing skills on display. LAUV is going to be huge, very huge.
Alternative, Chill, Indie, Pop | William Bolton – Dream At Night (ft Dillon Ashton)

The only thing better than good vibes is music that can uproot any moment and inject great it with vibes. William Bolton, formerly known as Times New Roman, accomplishes that time and time again. His unique style and versatile voice always comes through with classic records and Dream At Night is no exception to that. The production is extremely laid back and really lets ‘Billy B’s’ voice shine as he glides you through a night dreaming of the most popular spot on the left coast, California.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Aziz – Snakes On A Plane

Never before in the history of mankind have the words hip hop, single, fire, Nas, New Hampshire and Samuel L. Jackson been used in the same sentence; until now. New Hampshire hip hop MC/Producer Aziz unleashed a new single with some production you’d figure Nas would have hopped on back in the early 2000’s; oh, it’s straight fire and how am I going to neglect mentioning Samuel L. Jackson with a name like ‘Snakes On A Plane’? Aziz first came on my radar way back in 2010 when he and a couple of his college buddies dropped a track called ‘Tic Tac Toe‘. The song was crazy catchy and the music video was shot next to my house at the University of New Hampshire. I have been keeping tabs ever since and while Aziz may not be ‘popping’ quite like others that have been at it for that long but his content is always quality and on point.

Originally discovered by FNT, Academy has made huge strides since their debut back in October of 2013. The duo has been well overdue for new tunes as it’s been almost a year since their freshman EP ‘Moving Methods‘ was released. Full of funky bass, horns and catchy guitar riffs by producer Matt Osenton, not to mention some fresh turntable scratching provided by DJ Smiles, this new single shows Evan and John’s versatility and progression as artists. Hold Me Down is the first single off their sophomore project set to drop later this Spring and if this is any indication, it appears your summer beach playlist will be full of Academy. Be sure to throw the guys a follow on Twitter (@Academy401) and Like their page on Facebook!

Posted by Matt Keene on February 17, 2015
After over a year of silence FNT newcomer Chase is making a comeback with the first single off of his forthcoming project Blessed. The new project, which has been carefully crafted over the last eighteen months is finally ready to be rolled out and has many excited after today’s initial release. Grabbing elements from R&B and Hip Hop, All For You puts Chase’s versatility on display and Jen Kirby’s soulful voice on the hook really brings the track home.
