Wiz Khalifa – Work Hard Play Hard [Music Video]

Posted by Grubeats on May 23, 2012

With Rolling Papers in the rearview, Wiz has promised to return to his K & OJ style of rap.  Exhaling a promising breath with the release of his recent mixtape, Taylor Alderdice, Wiz keeps it OG on his new single, “Work Hard Play Hard”, but also showcases a mainstream hook.  The first time I heard this track I thought it was biting a little bit to close to Big Sean x Wale x Diplo’s track, “Slight Work”, but it has since grown on me, even though his first verse rhymes are repetitive and elementary.  It’s a happy medium.  Something fans on both ends of the spectrum can enjoy.  O.N.I.F.C. album in stores 8/28/12.

Kendrick Lamar – War Is My Love

Posted by Grubeats on May 21, 2012

Outside Mario Kart 64 and the occasional game of Wii ping pong, I’m not much of a gamer.  I do however know that gamers love music.  What better way to get you amped up for the release of  Ghost Recon: Future Soldier video game which hits stores at midnight than a new track from Compton’s finest young gun.  So while you’re waiting in line tonight with your Taco Bell party pack and 6 pack of Monster, let this one run through your headphones.  For those of you non-gamers, still give this a listen cause we all know new K. Dot is nothing less than spectacular.

Mike Stud: Touring’s Boring

Posted by LoffyG on May 21, 2012

Jon Kilmer came along with Mike Stud on the last leg of the Toast To Tommy Tour with one mission; capture what tour life is like in a 5-minute video. The results were so boring EPIC. It features concert footage from the NYC and STL shows, the beautiful women who attended, after parties and much more chaos. If you listen at about the 3:07 mark you can hear a preview of Mike’s new song “Athlete” which drops with an official video next week. If you didn’t catch a show on this tour be sure to catch him next time he’s in a city near you.

Moufy – The Preparation [Mixtape]

Posted by Grubeats on May 21, 2012

I present to you Moufy’s pre-EP mixtape, “The Preparation”.  Releasing several of the tracks over the past few weeks, including his most recent releases, “F*ck Ni**as” and “Blunt Burn” Moufy has done his part to shun any doubters. I’ve always said Moufy’s storytelling ability is my favorite attribute he purvey’s as an artist.  Like his deep emotional track, “Miss Newton”, Moufy yet again displays his ability to step back and analyze the hardships in his life throughout his pursuit of happiness in hip-hop on his new track, “Blunt Burn”.  The mixtape definitely includes a variety of sub genre’s like previous projects from Moufy.  Fine-tune your ears for this one affiliates, because Moufy’s improved lyricism and clever wordplay will have you constantly hitting the rewind button.

Cam Meekins – :) :/ :( [Mixtape]

DOWNLOAD: Cam Meekins – :) :/ :( [Mixtape]

Cam Meekins’ free album :) :/ :( is finally here. After hearing multiple tracks off the project such as “Cut Me Off” & “#FuckYoBitch”, I knew Cam was onto something different compared to his past projects. I’ve listened to the entire mixtape and it indeed has a totally different sound. In Cam’s beginning he used to make songs where he’d sing hooks over beats that had a more pop sound such as tracks from the Dancing With The Stars mixtape. Cam is now proving his lyrical abilities and still singing as well, but with a more developed sound. Going in over relatively simple beats while keeping the baseline heavy. I recommend this to anyone looking for something new.

On The Spot Interview with Hoodie Allen [FNT Exclusive]

Posted by LoffyG on May 20, 2012

I caught up with Hoodie Allen in Minneapolis, MN and took a few minutes to give him my “On The Spot” interview. Hoodie was definitely a good match for this style, all his answers were thoughtful and more than a simple yes or no. Aside from the interview, the show was amazing and I was surprised at how many people came out. If it wasn’t sold-out it was definitely very close. He puts on a awesome performance and has a band with him to rock out. I thought it was cool that he covered multiple popular radio hits that everyone knew the words to. That way if your friend had you come along and familiar with much of his music, you could still sing along. The remainder of this tour in the US is sold-out, but for those in the UK and Ireland you can still get tickets here.
