Hip-Hop, RnB | The Weeknd – Superhero + Cure
Posted by GMONEY on December 8, 2011
The Weeknd is slowly becoming one of my favorite artists today. Along with Frank Ocean, he is the future face of R&B music, or what we at FNT like to call baby making music. Production credits go to The Noise on both these tracks. While waiting for his upcoming project, Echoes of Silence, feel free to grab his two latest masterpieces House of Balloons & Thursday.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Eye Candy Spittin’ Ear Candy?

It’s not everyday you’ll find a smokeshow spitting bars faster than that dude from your high school who thinks he’s a rapper. I’ll be honest, Bailee Moore, may need some work behind the mic, but when you’re as smoke as she is, it’s hard to fail. The Cleveland chick claims this to be her first rap ever and if that’s the case, she may have potential. So what are my FNT faithfuls thinking about this chick? Is she the next Chanel aka CC (Fantasy Factory’s Rapping Receptionist) — drop a few freestyles then get picked up by Maxim? Or does she actually have musical talent?

Posted by BIGLIFE on December 6, 2011
Our friends and FNT regulars, Split Second, are in this week’s MTVU “Best Freshman Video”. Since they’ve got some stiff competition (including a brutal Flo-Rida track), they’ve enlisted the help of FNT to give them a much needed boost. So take a second (get it) out of your day to pay these guys back for the music they’ve provided you by voting for their video – HERE.
Hip-Hop, RnB, Videos | Easy Does It – Feelin’ Like Ooh (VIDEO)
Posted by GMONEY on December 3, 2011
I’m pretty sure that most of our viewership comes to FNT to stock up on the beats that take their nightly rager to the next level. Well thats all well and good, but we strive for the total monopolization of your eardrums. To that end, allow me to premier the latest video from Easy Does It which features their laid back single Feelin’ Like Ooh. The best way to describe their sound is an upbeat/ hip hop version of Citizen Cope. After watching the video I’m sure you will see this song is perfect for those lazy afternoons when all you want to do is kick back, grab a brew, and have yourself a barbecue with friends.

Hip-Hop | Los ft. XV- Get It
Posted by ATexas on November 30, 2011
Los, the Baltimore newcomer, is spitting absolute fire these past couple tracks I’ve listened to. Obvy for me I post the XV, just to keep all of my posts connected somehow. I know everyone is about to hit finals or holidays, both of which lead to excessive drinking, eating, all nighters and working out (haha just kidding) (working out pft) so this is a bomb pump up song about getting what you want. You’re welcome FNT biddies.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Maye Star ft. Deon Chase – Go Hard
Posted by Grubeats on November 29, 2011
Maye Star. Now that you’ve heard the name, remember it. The young MC residing in Boston is lyrically infectious. I first caught wind of Maye Star when I saw him open for YONAS several months back in Boston. He proceeded to roll lyrics off his tongue like he had been doing it for years. There’s no question he’s got a rare ability to spit it quick, but it should be known his lyrics hold truth and personality as well. “Go Hard” features fellow Boston artist, Deon Chase, and serves as the newest single off his upcoming mixtape, MayeHam. The project will include features from Moufy as well as Los (who Maye has impressed time and time again at post show cyphers), and FNT regular De-Lor. This may be the first time we’ve featured Maye Star, but it certainly won’t be the last.

Hip-Hop | Lazee – Better Than The Best (Prod. Rusko)
Posted by Jess on November 28, 2011
I only recently became aware of Swedish rapper Lazee and the tracks I have heard thus far have been impressive. From his catchy Ultra Records release “Hold On” to his single “Young N Restless” featuring Eric Turner, it is easy to see he is a rapper to watch. Having already established a heavy presence in Europe, he has recently been readying up his U.S. debut working with John Legend’s inhouse producers Phatboi Entertainment as well as many others.
The video above shows him in the studio with Phatboi Entertainment as well as FNT regular Kenton Dunson (who previews a new track of his as well). I believe the tracks previewed by Lazee in the video are off his most recent album Suppose To Happen that is out now and an album I definitely need to check out when I get the chance.
I did happen to track down the last song in the video titled “Better Than The Best”, which Lazee describes as “some European crazy shit”. It turns out that the track was produced by none other than Rusko himself and was off his First Class Five Stars – Season 2 mixtape released awhile back (and seemingly impossible to find). He didn’t lie, the track is insane and a must download. Be on the lookout for more music from Lazee in the near future.
