Hip-Hop | Twas The Night Before Blogmas (FNT Poem Edit)
Posted by GMONEY on December 24, 2011
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a blog post was stirring, not even a Deadmau5.
The stockings were hung by Big Life with care,
In hopes that the blogfather soon would be there.
The bloggers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of must-downloads danced in their heads.
And ATexas in her ‘kerchief, and Mach in his cap,
Had just settled their brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
GruBeats sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window he flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw a rave bash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to Avicii below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and W8 with tiny reindeer.
With a throwback old track, so lively and quick,
I knew in a flash that it must be DJ St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his bloggers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now Mach! now, W8! now, BigLife and Scoop!
On, Middy! On, ATexas! On, Sev and Jewcebox!
To the top of the blogs! It must be Ludacrismas!
GMoney spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the inboxes, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the blog world he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to the FNT team he gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a fresh new tracks good-night!

Hip-Hop, Pop, RnB | Qwote
Posted by Grubeats on December 24, 2011
Quote has broken FNT ground a few times before, but I felt his resume qualified him for a solo post. Supplying bangers as thick as the back side of this broad, the Miami native has worked with some of the game’s best including Pitbull, Rick Ross, J.R. Rotem, & Jim Jonsin to name a few. The pop/rnb/hip-hop go getter has a very fluent and bodacious voice that allows him to work so versatilely with all these artists. I’ve yet to hear Qwote on the radio up in New England, but once people get a shot of this guys music, I have a feeling they’ll be calling for a second round very soon after. Below is his most recent mixtape, Love Her Lips, highlighted with a few of my favorite cuts.
“My goal is to create a new lane that can bring fresh innovative music that touches the soul and evokes thought, passion, and creativity on another level.”

I’ve been lurking in the shadows of FNT lately, but that doesn’t mean I cant jump back into the limelight for a second to throw down some Girl Fire.

Well girlfriends, here’s your chance to get that GF fill you’ve been craving. And if you’re looking for a little extra spice check out the video above.
