Moombahton | Tupac – California Love (Rico Tubbs Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 8, 2012
Rico Tubbs showing his California love on this sick remix. This is a fun remix to listen to as well as partying to. The vocals are kept in their classy Tupac fashion, just sped up a bit. I may be in the far East right now, but I can still enjoy a little love from the West coast. It’s Friday, it’s time to party.
Exclusive, Hip-Hop, Videos | Jetpack Jones – Be Alone (Video) [FNT Exclusive]
Posted by J_Salzer on June 3, 2012
Jetpack Jones releases the video for my favorite song off his successful mixtape, Afterburners. The video, directed by Hunter Lyon, is fun and easy going. Featuring a couple fellas with water guns, and the classic shot of Jetpack delivering his rhymes in the beautiful Bay area. Be Alone has an addicting beat, crafter by TheGeekSquad, and Jetpack’s verses paired with a Cliff Savage feature make this song one of the most played songs in my iTunes library.

Dubstep, Electro | VoidDS – Gotta Catch ’em All! (Pokemon Electrostep)
Posted by Mach on June 2, 2012
VoidDS dropped a little preview of this banger a few days ago, the response was great enough that it is now available. He uses a lot of the original work to keep that nostalgia around, while also dropping a hefty Electro/Dubstep drop. This remix is fun to listen to, the fact that the drop is sick is just an awesome plus.
Cover, Featured | Beastie Boys – Fight For Your Right (Easy Does It MCA Tribute)
Posted by GMONEY on May 14, 2012
The recent passing of Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys is a great loss for the music industry. MCA was a musical innovator who transcended the East Coast/West Coast rivalry with an infectious brand of sabotage that will never be matched. Easy Does It holds a special place for the Beastie Boys in their hearts, and credits them as a huge inspiration for their work. As such, they have put together this tribute to MCA, and according to Easy Does It:
“Fight For Your Right” by the Beastie Boys “was the first cover song we ever learned as a band, wayyy back in the day. So it was only right that we paid proper homage & respect. These guys shaped our lives, straight up…we’re just some kids that wanna rap to guitars too. In true Beastie Boys spirit, we dressed up as characters from their iconic music videos and had a bunch of fun on camera. If his legacy can be perpetuated just .00001 % more – by people watching our video, then we did our job.
I’d say Easy Does It definitely did their job, check the video and see for yourself.

Dubstep | R Rated # 28
Posted by Mach on May 9, 2012
I realize that our past R posts have started with previews and end with the free downloads, that’s not right so this week we are taking R back to front…in fact I decided to screw the previews/purchases and replace them with more free tracks. Kicking off this week is a bomb from Savant. He recently just lost almost everything on his hard drive, including a good portion of his upcoming EP, ‘Overworld.’ This is one of the few saves he was able to make.
Big Chocolate always drops some quality filth. This remix of his is actually trap, but damn does this deserve to be on R.
Every time I see Jay-Z and Kanye I get excited with the hopes it is the Cazzette remix we are all dying for. Well sadly this is not that remix, but then again should I complain?
Woah, VoidDS brought it with this original. This is dope as hell, the kind of track that artists should be remixing. Not that Call Me Somebody That I Used To Know Maybe crap.
I am really loving all these free originals artists are dropping. This one from Skullee is actually a fun track to listen do, and the drop isn’t too shabby either…it’s actually pretty sick.
Sev hit me up with this…wait what, another original? Hell yea, and funky disco glitch at that. AaA is even a little more famous than the others besides Savant. AaA has created some crazy remixes in the past. I was really excited to get to listen to this and it did not disappoint at all.
Hip-Hop | Spring – Fortune Family ft. Upper West
Posted by J_Salzer on May 2, 2012
Two groups that have made themselves unique using poppy sounds link up to create an absolutely grand song. The Sara Barellis sample sets the stage for an upbeat, fun song. The theme is further driven by quality verses from Reef and Doug. I had been hearing about this song from my man Reef for about a month. Now I know what he was so hyped about. I love everything about this song, whether its Reef’s powerful bars, or Doug’s raspy verse, Spring gets me hyped for Summer. I know this at categorized as “hip-hop” but pretend it says “hip-pop.” Hit FF on facebook here, and UW here.
Mashups, Videos | DOSVEC – Dirt Licker (Video)
Posted by Mach on April 24, 2012
For those of you that did not catch DOSVEC’s newest mashup banger, he just finished up some sweet visuals. Watching I did not know what to expect, I was right to think so. Video is nice, but then you hit the vocals for LMFAO. The mashup up is great, but the end of this video is hilarious. Definitely a fun video to play at a party.
