Dubstep | Deltron 3030 – Upgrade (Figure Remix)

Posted by on November 29, 2012

Jesus, it appears I need to change my pants now. Leave it to Figure to cause someone to poop their pants. Talking to Nammo who just had done a show with him said that Figure was probably one of the coolest guys he has ever met. Despite all the shows, fame, and money, Figure keeps it real. Figure’s music shows that he is no where close to selling out and will continue to rape our ears into bloody submission. Well, that was a tad bit graphic.

Hip-Hop | Jazz Cartier – Ataraxia (Prod. by Lantz)

Posted by on June 26, 2012


“My bars cause accidents watch as I damage shit.”

My posts, although few and far between, are synonymous with flowery prose used to describe the music at hand. I’m going to save you the long-drawn-out-paragraph and tell you that it would be a mistake to pass on this track from Jazz’s forthcoming “Marauding In Paradise” project. Video directed and shot by Ross Lai and Ashton Lewis.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Protohype – Crush Mode Ft. Init

Posted by on May 5, 2012

Protohype previewed this gem a few weeks ago on his youtube. Apparently his laptop was just stolen and the project was not backed up (after the same thing happening to Skrillex and Savant, you would think people would have learned by now). Anyways, Protohype has released the unfinished copy that he has available. Unfinished, this track is still dope as hell. I feel bad for him because tracks like these need to be completed. Message to those of you who have or are thinking of stealing an artist’s computer, you suck. It is people like you that ruin it for the rest of us, don’t smile because we all hate you for the issues that you cause. Get a life, big ups to Protohype for this amazing track.

Hip-Hop, Interviews, Videos | Logic – Young Sinatra: Undeniable [Exclusive Interview]

Posted by on May 1, 2012

[do action=”youtube” videoid=”DexSkD8_v-s”/]

A couple weeks back I had the opportunity to meet Logic, interview him, and see him perform as the headliner at a benefit concert for the Dance For Paralysis foundation. Above and beyond that, Logic brought the new age of hip-hop into one of the most storied restaurant franchises, The Hard Rock Cafe, and left his heart on the stage. Prior to the show, I sat down with Logic and asked him anything and everything from growing up, to passion for Frank Sinatra, to Kevin Durant’s tweets, to his favorite color. For all those responses and more, watch the video above. What you may or may not extract from the interview is Logic’s sincerity, passion, love, devotion, appreciation and respect for all, molded into the articulate and professional young man and artist he has become. Truly the most personable and enjoyable interview I have ever conducted.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Ess Vee – Feel Music (FNT Exclusive)

Posted by on March 8, 2012


Quite frankly, I’m floating in the ocean/Novacane feeling drowning with my eyes open/You know the same feeling staring at the sky hoping/cause you feel your souls broken and you have no emotion.

More than a series of notes and rhythm, music is a universal language. It can reach deep into the human spirit. It can inspire creativity, or take us to the depths of despair. Music can calm inner turmoil or set the pace for revolution and violence. Most importantly, music has the ability to change lives. Indeed, Ess Vee is doing just that with the release of his “Feel Music” video off his critically acclaimed “The Veelude” project. Produced by Stas Mavrodi, “Feel Music” is reflective as it is introspective- inviting the listener to experience a musical catharsis with the addition of an extra verse. Don’t call this Irvington representer crazy, his reality is just different from yours.  As a bonus, I’ve included his entire “The Veelude” project for download below. Like marcel the shell, hit “read on” for the tracklist. Special thanks to The Association Music Group.

FYI | Help Fight Pediatric Cancer!

Posted by on February 16, 2012

I spoke with Nammo myself earlier today and he told me about this idea he had to help donate money to fight Pediatric Cancer. It does not cost you anything. For every like Nammo gets, he will donate 25 cents to the cause. I highly suggest everyone like his page. After his own fight against cancer a little over a year ago, Nammo felt he had to do something to help the cause that saved his life. Help Nammo help others and go like his page right now.

The wait for Skizzy Mars’s new mixtape, Phases, is killing me. This kid is making me become a bigger fan with every single release he gives us. Here we have a light, Caribbean sounding beat and some great word play. Scoop this track and set your calendars for Phases, cause it’s gonna be big. Hit up the man on Facebook and Twitter.

Here’s what Skiz had to say about the song.
