Hip-Hop | Grieves – Against The Bottom

Posted by on July 31, 2011

You know what I like about this guy? He doesn’t rap for the girls, he raps for himself. Sure, the video might include a hot girl or two (definitely not three that’s for sure) but you still catch him running down the street three guys deep in a flannel and skinny jeans. There’s something to be said for that – this is exactly what I mean about visuals providing that extra insight that heightens your understanding and appreciation for the music. Ben aka Grieves delivers real hip hop. Originally born in Chicago, Grieves later moved to a few other locations, providing him with a multitude of influences including the alternative sound he blends in with his rap. It reminds me a little of the lost art that fellow Chi-town artist, Rhymefest, tends to bring to the table (ps. do yourself a favor and watch Rhymefest “One Hand Pushup” video after the jump aka click MORE bc its gnarly). Maybe he’s more like Em in Stan, you be the judge…Take a leap of faith and give Grieves an ear.

Dubstep, Electro | Rey Marrasquin

Posted by on July 28, 2011

Being a blogger is often a thankless pursuit…I spend hours a day hunting around for the newest tracks to fuel your fire and often times the only feedback I get are comments from haters who are ohhh so quick to point out my few mistakes. Even so, every once in a while something pops up that really ignites my blogger fire. This week that something happened to be a someone, Rey Marrasquin. Rey has been taking tracks that he has found on FNT and using them to inspire his artwork, and not only that, Rey has put together timelapse videos of himself painting thee pieces. I am no art critic but I do think I have an eye (and an ear) for creativity, so I can confidently say these videos are definitely worth a look.

Hip-Hop | The Suns of Society

Posted by on July 28, 2011

Man The Suns of Society really is the full package. They’ve got smooth, yet super chill vocals…clean yet provocative rhymes, and an overall swagger that is undeniable. I’ve been in this game for a while now and very rarely find groups as well balanced and put together as The Suns of Society. Definitely take a minute to check out these tracks, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Electro, House | CAZZETTE vs Adele – Set Fire to the Rain (A Stupid Hole Bootleg)

Posted by on July 26, 2011

This is one of the most intense tracks I have listened to in a long time. Electro, House, and Dubstep, this track has a taste of everything. Bare through the intro because the awesome electro drop is worth it. This track is definitely one of my favorites now.

Mashups | Greg Golterman – Don’t Wanna Go Home (Remix)

Posted by on July 26, 2011

It’s no secret that here at FNT we have a vehement disdain for A vs B mashups (and if you could see our gmail you would know why), so its always refreshing to find a mashup artist who can really deliver a unique track. We have been following Greg Golterman for a minute now and he is really starting to show some promise. His latest, entitled “Don’t Wanna Go Home (Remix),” is definitely some serious party fuel.

Dubstep | Sam Sparro – Black & Gold (Quincy Kwalae Remix)

Posted by on July 24, 2011

Man I hope this guy isn’t downing both of those bottle by himself….oh wait yea I do, I heard the FNT Summer Tank makes you invincible so he’ll most definitely be okay. Anyways if you are trying to party like this guy check out Quincy Kwale’s take on Sam Sparro’s “Black and Gold.”
