Hip-Hop | Choo Jackson – Windows
Posted by VMan on February 20, 2014
Choo Jackson releases visuals for “Windows” directed by ElephantxElephan, off his forthcoming sophomore project “Slightly Dark.” The 23-year-old Pennsylvania native is signed to Mac Miller’s REMember Music label, and preaches on this one with a “smooth like leather” flow. The life of an up and coming rapper is not easy, you really have to believe in yourself no matter what everyone else tells you, and Choo expresses this on his record. We believe in you Choo, your window of opportunity is open and at reach. This is a must listen and look out for his upcoming project!
Hip-Hop, Videos | Mike Stud – Mike Jordan [#SundayStudDay]
Posted by FilthyTaft on February 18, 2014
I swear that Sunday Stud Days get better and better every Sunday. This past Sunday, Mike Stud dropped a new song and video titled “Mike Jordan,” but it’s much more than a song. The first minute is an inspirational monologue Stud gives that tells us how he got to where he is. The line that stuck with me most is: “never let anyone or anything kill your dream, because the moment you believe something is impossible, it is.” After the speech, the song and the visuals pick up, with a smooth instrumental from Louis Bell and dope visuals from Jon Kilmer as usual. The song itself is pretty melodic and involves more singing and pitch than just straight rapping – similar to the style of Chance the Rapper. Amazing project all around, so watch the video and download the single here.
Chill | Sango – Me de Amor (Feat. Gaiola Das Popozudas)
Posted by Nick on January 23, 2014
I was already impressed by the amount depth Sango shows in all of his work – how he utilizes a skill set that generates records with a completely unique, subtle intricacy that most artists wish they could duplicate. Now, after listening to his brand new album “Da Rocinha 2,” released just this morning, I’ve found myself legitimately struggling not to exaggerate how much I like it so I don’t overhype it for all of you.
Posted below is one of the new tracks off Rocinha 2 (Rocinha is a small farm town in Brazil – notice the Portuguese song titles) that showcases a fresh piano sample mixed with a clean 808 background, most notably with a classic Sango, full-bodied bass line; it’s been titled “Me de Amor,” which roughly translates to “I Love.” If you like it after you listen to it, and believe me, you should, then go check out the full album on Bandcamp – only $1 for 13 well-produced tracks. Doesn’t matter if you’re a rapper looking for something to dub over, or if you just want something chill to bang this weekend, go check this guy out.

Electro, Pop | Larcy – Best Friend

FNT meet Larcy, the Pennsylvania native who has been living in NYC for the past 3 years, producing and songwriting, when she’s not making sandwiches. Her debut single “Best Friend” produced by Prince Fox dropped yesterday, and is a laid back pop/progressive house record, layered with an angelic voice, and an overall powerful electro vibe, about falling in love with your best friend. Who can’t say they’ve ever been there? I’m feeling this single, and Larcy’s def on my radar at this point. I believe she can be as big as Ellie Goulding. This is a must listen and a must download!

Chill, Dubstep | Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On (Big Sandz Remix)
Posted by VMan on November 21, 2013
Damn, what a remix of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” by Big Sandz. Consider this a throwback Thursday, because it’s a few months old, but I don’t believe this remix received the attention it deserves. Stemming from Chicago, Big Sandz produces Lovestep, which appears to be huge in the Midwest. My good friend Graham put me on to him, and told me to keep an eye out for future releases. I’m sold, I’m looking forward to more, this is not your regular remix. This is a must listen and a must download!

Hip-Hop, Rap | G4SHI – LAUGHING

iTunes: G4SHI – Laughing
Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter
Brooklyn rapper G4shi is back with a mad dope music video for his latest single “Laughing,” produced by UK producers Success Music, and directed by Definate Films. After shaking up the music industry by getting his record spun on NY’s Hot 97.1 by Peter Rosenberg, and appearing on MTV’s Rap Fix, G4shi understands his value as a talent, and is deciding to run solo for now. The MC is straight up laughing, with no fux given, going from the underrated underdog to King of the New York underground rap scene, and believe me, the man has come a long way. If you’re not familiar with G4shi, get familiar, the mixtape is on its way! This is a must listen and support the movement by copping “Laughing” on iTunes!

After releasing a handful of free mixtapes and too many singles to count, Huey Mack’s debut album Pretending Perfection is now on iTunes.

The great thing is he has done it all without the help of a label, tour manager or booking agent. Just him and the fans who love what he does.
