Just last week FNT had an exclusive opportunity to link up with Philly’s own, Tayyib Ali, for an interview prior to his headlining show in Boston. We discussed his upcoming project, recent and upcoming collabs, the plethora of artists coming up from PA, what he does outside of music & more. Big ups to Boston’s finest clothing and kicks boutique, Laced, for giving us an opportunity to catch Tayyib during his in store meet and greet earlier in the day.
In other news, Tayyib’s debut video off his last mixtape, Keystone State of Mind, surpassed 500,000 hits on YouTube today so be sure to check that if you haven’t already.

Maye Star unleashed the second single off his upcoming mixtape, Mayehem, scheduled to drop sometime in April. Backed by some light brass, soothing strings, and melodic keys “The Takeover” gives us an introduction into what we’re about to hear from Boston’s own Maye Star. Maye exercises his ability to rattle off words at a very fast pace, which is something I’d love to see Maye do more often. #DreamTeam

Hip-Hop, Videos | Maye Star – One Game (Patriots Anthem)

[do action=”youtube” videoid=”ufU17hSCS9s”/]
Maye Star, who I introduced back before Christmas, put together a New England Patriots Super Bowl anthem in preparation for this weekends big game. Delivering all the necessary ingredients for a quality sports anthem; a catchy hook, a demoralizing Billy Cundiff line, & Tom Brady. I can’t talk down on Eli Manning and the G men until this game of epic season/career/life/mankind proportions concludes, so I’ll leave it at, may the best team win. I just damn well hope that team is the Patriots. R.I.P. MHK. Gronk it out.
“…to the left, to the left…Billy Cundiff’s field goal” – Maye Star
P.S. Maye’s mixtape, Mayeham, dropping soon!

Videos | Sammy Adams Performs “Blow Up” on Conan
Posted by GMONEY on January 19, 2012
Making his first major television debut last night, Sammy Adams performed his hit single, “Blow Up” off his forthcoming album dropping this spring. While some had concerns over his brief musical lull, the Sony/RCA signee shows no signs of slowing down with his recent “Into The Wild” mixtape serving as an appetizer before the album. Let’s talk about the verse at the end though. And I quote:
“I went from Boston to Cali/went from Cali to Paris/now I’m killing on primetime don’t try to compare us/team Coco or nothing/so shout out to the family/and the audience hear me I got the heat like Miami/Chillin’ on Conan, we roll from Massachusetts/never been on late night but now I’m up on my music/this dude he’s interviewing/this much air it’s just stupid/so I had to come through it’s Conan O’Brian let’s do it/yeah!”
Anyone else would have stuck to the script. Anyone else would have been to scared to go outside the box on their first national television appearance. Just rollin’ like a boss. That’s why we’ll always support and respect Sammy Adams. He’s never afraid to roll the dice. This is why we’ve been preaching the Sammy Adams gospel since day one. As Sam continues his meteoric rise, don’t be surprised to see him at the top of the charts this year. 2012 could be his biggest year yet.

Luxe is composed of two Berklee College of Music students, Eric Kwong and Michael Moss, whose mission is to create electronic music that represents tradition, while integrating cutting-edge ear candy. When this duo isn’t in the studio, they can be found spinning at one of the most successful clubs in Boston. Beast is their first dubstep release to date, and they make quite the entrance…this track hits hard, the second you press play.

Hip-Hop | Maye Star – Crunch Time Freestyle [Exclusive]
Posted by Grubeats on December 24, 2011
I introduced Maye Star a couple weeks back with the release of his first single, “Go Hard”, off his upcoming mixtape, Mayeham. In lieu of the birth of baby jesus, Maye gift wrapped rapped up this promo freestyle over Bow Wow’s track, “Crunch Time”, produced by Roc Nation’s own Jahlil Beats on this crisp Christmas afternoon. This track will not be featured on Maye’s upcoming mixtape, but gives you an idea of the wordplay he is capable of exercising. With features on the project from XXL Freshman 2012 nominee, Los, fellow Bostonians, Moufy & De-Lor among others, this FNT sponsored tape is already shaping up to be a breakout project.
P.S. Did I mention this kid’s only 16?
