Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Elite – Awaken [Mixtape]
Posted by Grubeats on November 18, 2011
A couple months back when I introduced Elite to the FNT family, I explained his journey as producer and rapper along with his relationship with other artists such as J. Cole and Voli. Since then, Elite has released a few more singles in preparation for his first project as a solo hip-hop artist, Awaken, which he dropped just a week ago. It’s not fair to say his progression is overly evident because quite honestly the first time I heard him I was blown away. Everything from his voice, to the lyrics, to the hooks, to the production, to the delivery has always been on point. Awaken is a mixtape you ABSOLUTELY DON’T WANT TO SLEEP ON. Although it’s rooted with hip-hop, it almost has an alternative sound to it, similar to something OnCue may put together. Speaking of which, I’d love to hear a collab from these two.
I’ve highlighted a few cuts below if you’re looking for appetizers, but I highly suggest just skipping to the main entré and downloading the tape in full. #DreamVille

Hip-Hop, Videos | XV – Awesome (Music Video)

Vizzy just dropped some hilarious visuals for what I believe was his best track off his Zero Heros mixtape. After hitting us with a deep, nostalgic video for When We’re Gone, XV brings out the jokes and good vibes for this one, running around with a bunch of dudes dress up like the kids from South Park. Head over iTunes to get the original version of Awesome, or you can download the remix featuring Pusha-T below.

Hip-Hop | Elite – Gone + Voli – In The Meanwhile (Mixtape)
Posted by Grubeats on October 6, 2011
J. Cole. Elite. Voli. Most probably don’t know their relationship, but the three have all worked together in the past. Cole has produced for Voli, Elite is signed to Cole’s label “Dreamville Records” and has produced for Cole, Voli has produced for Cole, Cole has been featured on Voli’s tracks. You get the picture right?
AOL Music put together a short video of ‘A Day In The Life of J. Cole”, in which they followed him around on the day Cole World: The Sideline Story was released. With 217,000+ copies sold in the first week, the album reached the #1 spot. The world is indeed Cole. Here’s what Cole had to say on the day his project hit the shelves.
“Today, I feel like it’s a collection of all the work I’ve been doing over the years mixed with the past two weeks of promo,” Cole tells The BoomBox. “Like, now that it’s finally here, I’m physically exhausted.”- J. Cole

Although Elite has made a career so far producing, here’s the first promising single off his mixtape, Awaken, due out November 11th. By the sound of this track, he may have more than one lane to gain fame.

Voli released his debut mixtape, In The Meanwhile, a couple weeks back but I continually forgot to share it with you guys. Hip-Hop heads take note, Voli is the truth. Here are of my few favorite cuts off the project…

Hip-Hop, Videos | Joseph Vincent & Toestah – Till I’m Gone (Remix)
Posted by GMONEY on July 26, 2011
YouTube sensation Joseph Vincent and Toestah have put together a really great take on Tinie Tempah and Wiz’s “Till I’m Gone.” Not only is this a really dope track, the the visuals are top notch.

In the the past its been hard for me to get into British rappers, it just sorta sounded Ozzie Osborn blabbering to me. But I actually really like this track, not to mention that Wiz kills it on his parts.
