Hip-Hop, Pop, RnB | Chris Rene [X Factor]
Posted by Grubeats on December 8, 2011
For anyone who has been diligently watching one of America’s hottest new shows, The X Factor, probably knows what Chris Rene is bringing to the table. A 28-year old recovering addict making a run at a $5 million recording contract has been impressing me since day one and I feel it’s only fair I share his story with my FNT family. Channeling his past struggles and adversity into his own original music, Chris combines pop/RnB and hip-hop into something of his own. If I had to compare him to one recognizable artist, I’d have to say Mike Posner, only judging on the style. I think the possibilities are endless for Rene and even if he doesn’t win the X Factor competition, he’s going to be signed by someone and certainly still make major hits. I did some digging and found a couple tracks from the ‘garbage picking-hip-hop singing-Santa Cruz phenomenon’ along with several rips from his performances that may also tickle your fancy. If you’ve been following you know how inspirational of a story this is becoming and I only hope Chris Rene applies his talents in the right places. Do Work Son.

RnB | Collin McLoughlin – Here We Stand
Posted by GMONEY on December 6, 2011
Man oh man, is there anything this guy can’t do? After dropping two electro bangers last month( Get Down On It with Spadez and Is It Love with Sex Ray Vision) as well as another epic Cover Video, Collin Mclouglin is gearing up for the holidays with another dope song. Here We Stand is a soft ballad with a powerful message; here is what Collin had to say about the track:
In this new song I sample a series of speeches from JFK and FDR, each of which exemplified to me how much our country has struggled and prevailed before. Given the current state of affairs I wanted to make a song to show that there is hope, hope for a better and more equal future for all.
Hip-Hop, RnB, Videos | Easy Does It – Feelin’ Like Ooh (VIDEO)
Posted by GMONEY on December 3, 2011
I’m pretty sure that most of our viewership comes to FNT to stock up on the beats that take their nightly rager to the next level. Well thats all well and good, but we strive for the total monopolization of your eardrums. To that end, allow me to premier the latest video from Easy Does It which features their laid back single Feelin’ Like Ooh. The best way to describe their sound is an upbeat/ hip hop version of Citizen Cope. After watching the video I’m sure you will see this song is perfect for those lazy afternoons when all you want to do is kick back, grab a brew, and have yourself a barbecue with friends.

Just the other day Rihanna dropped her sixth studio album titled Talk That Talk. For those of you who dropped the extra dime on the deluxe edition ended up with this gem. Produced by one of dubsteps legendary duos, Chase and Status delivered Rihanna one of the sexiest, melodic bass-lines I have ever heard. Rihanna topped off the track by adding some amazing mellow vocals, matching the beat almost flawlessly. All in all, an incredible track. If you want the whole album, it is available on iTunes.

Two more days till Mike Posner drops his new mixtape, The Layover, and I have to say I’m excited. He wasn’t kidding when he said he was going back to his old style. All the production on the other tracks have been impressive, and this one doesn’t disappoint either. It’s got a more laid back sound to it with some good vocals. Look back on sunday for the whole tape, and enjoy this one while you wait.

Hip-Hop, RnB | Mike Posner ft. Bun B-Rocket Man
Posted by ATexas on November 15, 2011
Since enrolling at said college, I have become an insomniac thus the reason I always post chill melodic tunes. Mike Posner hits us with just that, super chill and super flowing. Bun B slaps it with his verse as he finishes out the song. Sorry I’m not sorry for a certain genre of music always being posted, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Insomniacs will appreciate this and maybe hit it up with some visualizer? Simple pleasures.
