Alternative, Hip-Hop, Videos | Aer – Won’t Laugh

It’s been a few since Northeast duo, Aer, hit us with a new track.  While their good vibes, string riffs, & carpe diem lyrics are often associated with “summer music”, “Won’t Laugh” carries their sound through all four seasons.  The almost tribal toned intro rings us in, as David picks up the guitar and carries the hook while Carter lays down a few noteworthy verses; “Now you wonder why I wouldn’t trade my life with you, Why?! Cuz you hang the same keys from the same hook every afternoon, My angels lookin down upon me from a great view, they got my back but they hate you”.  ‘Do what you love, love what you do’ mentality.

Soaring high, it’s safe to say these guys will be raising the bar on their self entitled album due out January 21st!

Indie, RnB, Videos | Jon Bellion – New York Soul

Jon Bellion takes a step back to reflect on the spectrum of life.  The object being tugged by two forces; family and fame.  As Jon’s presence builds, so does the pressure from surrounding socialites.   “New York Soul” tells just that.  A mellow, piano driven production by Jon himself provides the foundation for his soulful moving script. GRVTY is once again the wizard behind the lens, directing a simple, but very powerful visual representation.

No download yet, but be patient as Jon has promised an album before year end!

Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Dee Brown – A Dying Man

Posted by on October 21, 2013

When I first started blogging for Filthy Slaps, I came in contact with Dee Brown because his lyrics really reached out to me. As an avid lover of the hip-hop culture, Dee really takes advantage of the darkness and stamina that a lot of rappers forget surrounds hip-hop. Of course hip-hop songs can be fun and uplifting, but it all originated from the reality of having struggles. This is apparent in ‘A Dying Man’; though the lyrics are deep and the message is blatant, he reaches into something more and I really appreciate the music. He’s had a long absence from FNT, but with his newest drop of his album ‘DEREK‘, Dee Brown is back.

Videos | Vuk Lazar – Queen of Clubs (Nadia Ali Medley)

Posted by on October 17, 2013


Full disclosure: I used to have a huge crush on Nadia Ali in high school. No lie, I thought she was going to be my princess. I never her made her mine, but I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for anything Nadia Ali. When I received Vuk Lazar’s track from Night Focus Managements’ Stefan and I was impressed. Impressed enough to take the time to post this. Vuk Lazar, so hot right now. Vuk Lazar.
