Hip-Hop | Yelawolf ft. Kid Rock – Let’s Roll

Posted by on October 29, 2011

New release off Yelawolf’s upcoming album, Radioactive which drops November 21st. He recruits the American Badass himself to deliver the hook while he shreds the verses. This is my favorite release off the album thus far, definitely beats the Lil Jon feature on Hard White. Give it a spin!

Hip-Hop, Videos | Mac Miller – Party On 5th Ave (Music Video)

Posted by on October 27, 2011

[do action=”youtube” videoid=”kTZpscid3lg”/]

After hearing the rip of this track after it’s Hot 97 debut on Tuesday, Mac gives MTV the honors of releasing the official video.  This marks the third official single off Mac’s debut album, Blue Slide Park, and I believe it’s produced by E. Dan.  As BIGLIFE was saying the other day, I’m not sure this album is going to live up to it’s hype.  It’s hard to say because Mac’s mixtapes have been absolute gems, which makes me wonder, did he set the bar too high for himself?

I respect the fact that he’s not featuring any other artists on the album, which is extremely rare, especially for a debut album, but judging by what I’ve heard so far I’m slightly disappointed.  Frick Park Market is my favorite of the three tracks released to date and that hook sounds dangerously similar to “Donald Trump”.  I think Mac’s verses on “Blue Slide Park” and “Party On 5th Ave” have been on point, but the hooks are less than I expected.  In Mac’s favor, his single’s always seem to grow on me, so hopefully that’s the case with these.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Blue Slide Park thus far?

Albums, Trance | Trance Tuesdays Cosmic Gate – Wake Your Mind Album Review

Posted by on October 25, 2011

Yesterday was a huge day for EDM with Kaskade releasing his 7th artist album “Fire and Ice” (review to come soon) and Cosmic Gate the German trance duo releasing their album “Wake Your Mind”. The album is a masterful display of production from start to finish. They are masters of vocal trance with the long vocal builds into a euphoric hands in the air drop that makes you feel like you are at their show. With a good balance of instrumental and stirring vocal tracks with collaborations with other trance heavyweights such as Andrew Bayer and Myron & Shane 54, Cosmic Gate leaves us with a 14 track treat that will leave you hitting repeat. I picked out four of my favorite songs from the album for a full preview and if you like them get this album on Beatport HERE or wait until October 31st for iTunes and other sellers. They are in the middle of a North America tour right now, so if they are in your area do not hesitate to go out to see them.

Hip-Hop | Wale ft. Big Sean – Slight Work (Prod. by Diplo)

Posted by on October 25, 2011

With his sophomore album, Ambition, only one week away, Wale drops the last single which is produced by Diplo and features Sean Don.  Definitely a unique beat from Diplo, but what else would you expect? I guess when you’re as filthy as these two young guns, the currency comes even when you only slightly work.  Sound the sirens, this album is going to do some damage. 11.1.11.  M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-aybach Music!

Hip-Hop | J_Mal – My Pride My Passion

Posted by on October 25, 2011

After dropping a number of serious track from his album over the past month, we proud to officially drop J_Mal’s My Pride My Passion. I think that this title is especially fitting because passion is definitely a word I would use to describe this project. Another word I would use is diverse because, J_Mal boasts tracks which span accross many of FNT’s favorite genres, including Hip-Hop, Electro, and RnB. Whatever your tastes, I am confident you will be able to find something in this project that really get you fired up.

Hip-Hop | B.o.B., Wiz, Sean Kingston & Nicki Minaj

Posted by on October 25, 2011

B.o.B. keeps the wheel’s rolling with another release, this time giving us a visual treatment for “Fucked Up”.  I’d guess this track is coming with the album since a DL was not offered up with the video, but it could also find a home on the presumed mixtape set to be released prior to the album.  Shot by Motion Family, Bobby Ray and Playboy Tre sample I Blame Coco’s single, “Control”, and make their way to Asia for some colorful visuals.

Here’s another freestyle from Wiz (his second of the day), this time going in over Meek Mill & Young Chris’ “House Party”.  Not as hot as his freestyle over Wale’s “Bait”, but still new Wiz.

Sean Kingston appears to be live and well, ready to drop his newest single…well, almost.  Here’s the unfinished leak of his new joint with big booty Nicky.  Sounds like a J.R. Rotem produced beat to me, sampling “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”.  Looks like Nicky hasn’t laid down her verse yet, but I’m sure once this song is finished it will be eating up the radio.

P.S. Should have got Young Simba Cole on this track.
