Hip-Hop | Tarik – Weatherman (Official Video)
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 22, 2011
I seldom find a hip-hop artist that sticks to rap in its purest form. Tarik, is one of those needles in a haystack; he flows about his personal issues and life, not about a fantasy land. Over the past several months, he’s been in the studio gearing up for a strong fall showing. If I had to guess, his facebook fans will at least quadruple by Christmas time. And you know who is going to be along for the ride? You guessed it, FNT. We are officially affiliating Tarik and will be supplying you with a plethora of visuals and beats to keep our Hip-Hop heads satisfied. The visuals above are to “Weatherman”, which is the first Single of T.R.I.G.S. being released September 26th. Be on the look out for more videos to accompany tracks like “Alone Tonight” in the coming month. Below are just a few of my favorite cuts off his previous projects.

Hip-Hop | Lenny Kravitz ft Drake – Sunflower
Posted by Juicebox on August 17, 2011
Not a fan of this one…expected a better managerial decision than Drake agreeing to do a feature on this track. This sounds like something that should have been on Now 3, am I right? I posted some real hip hop below to save this post…

Mixtapes, RnB | Mateo – Love & Stadiums
Posted by GMONEY on August 12, 2011
I gotta be honest here guys, I rarely find myself listening to R&B. Its not that I don’t like it, its just that in a world filled with electro heaters, and hard hitting hip-hop, its hard to slow down and give R&B tracks the time to grow on me. Well Mateo managed to do just that, and I think that it has a lot to do with his musical approach:
My style is like R&B with Soul in it. A lot of R&B is just singing over Hip-Hop beats but I want to build on that and take it to another level. I want to add some piano keys over the beats and add something melodic to it. My style is like if you played Coldplay over break beats. – Mateo

Hip-Hop | Outasight – Setting Sun
Posted by ATexas on August 11, 2011
I’m reverting back to my mellow hip hop with Outasight, who came out with Figure 8. After that, I was hooked like a fish. The beat of “Setting Sun” is “groovy,” and its been, like what, 30 years since people used that adjective? Basically it couldn’t harsh anyone’s mellow as it documents how the hours of a day go by so quickly. “Setting Sun” was released for Outasight’s 10,000th fan on facebook. With the production of Setting Sun and Figure 8 I assume an album is on the horizon. Fingers Crossed!

Hip-Hop | Upper West – Dream Big & Run This Town
Posted by GMONEY on August 8, 2011
Then it comes to new age hip hop, good music that shows up in my inbox is few and far between. Upper West has a super clean and unique flow and their lastest releases are defineitely on point. The first track, Dream Big, is a dope summer anthem which features Skizzy Mars and the second, Run This Town, is a hard hitting, beat bumpin banger. If you are interesting in seeing Upper West live, make sure to check out their show on August 10th at the Canal Room in NYC.

With the release of Cole World: The Sideline Story creeping up on us, J. Cole just delivered some big news. In an effort to promote the album, Cole will be releasing some new material every Sunday. For the first week J. Cole released a 5 track EP, but before you jump out of your chair with excitement let me remind you that you may have heard a few of these tracks before. Nonetheless this is a treat and a tease for all hip-hop fans. Below is some commentary from the man himself. Cole World, September 27th.
