As many of you know Radical Something just recently finished off the No Sweat Spring Tour. I was fortunate enough to kick it with the guys for a couple days during their stop in Minneapolis, MN where we filmed this exclusive interview. I talked with the guys about a ton of stuff from how they got the Radical name to the craziest thing a Rad Fan has done. Check out the interview and don’t forget Radical Something is dropping a new song every Monday for the next 10 weeks! If you missed the first two releases you can get those here!

I recently had the opportunity to interview Kid Ink while he was performing in Minneapolis, MN. I hit him with my “On The Spot” interview to see what kind of responses I would get. If you aren’t familiar with Kid Ink I added one of his music videos after the jump. You can also download two of his recent mixtapes below. He has an upcoming album in the works titled Up And Away, dropping June 12th. A big thank you to Kid Ink for taking out the time for the interview and EXP Promotions for making it possible!

I recently caught up with Huey Mack in Minneapolis while he was doing a show with Mike Stud. I came up with a list of random questions to throw at him to see what kind of responses I would get in return. This was only a couple days before the release of his new mixtape A Boy Named Hue, which was released on 4/23.If you still haven’t heard the tape, I highly recommend it. There are songs that are fit for any occasion including features from Scolla, Mike Stud, Mod Sun and more. You can preview the tape after the jump or download below!

Interviews | Mike Stud x Mod Sun [FNT Exclusive]

I caught up with Mike Stud while he was in Minneapolis, MN on his Toast To Tommy Tour. He has to be one of the chillest guys that I’ve met. He was down with all his fans at the show, and took time to meet pretty much everyone that wanted. Not only was Mike Stud an awesome dude but DJ Fader was as well. These two as a duo on the road are unbeatable. They know how to have a good time and that’s just what we did!

I also sat down with Mod Sun after the show. He was one of the opening acts and definitely “lived” it as he would say. He’s a great artist from Minnesota and definitely one of my favorite out right now. This interview was a bit out of control, but a great time nonetheless. Yes, I’ll admit we had more than one drink before we filmed this! It’s funny to see how my personality did a 360 in a matter of hours between filming these interviews. I brought up the topic of favorite upcoming artist(s) and it ended up turning into our favorite artists, haha. Shouts to Tayyib Ali, Sammy Adams, and Cam Meekins on this one!? Enjoy.

Shoutout to EXP Promotions and Freshletes!
