Hip-Hop | Sade featuring Jay-Z “The Moon and the Sky” | CHILL HIP-HOP
Posted by GMONEY on April 9, 2011
Sade’s “The Moon and the Sky” track is beautiful in itself. Yea…I said it, beautiful. With a producer like Noah “40” Shebib, who produces many of Drake’s tracks, “The Moon and the Sky” was bound for success.
Jay-Z’s collaboration on the track, however, transforms its entire feel. The seriousness of Sade’s vocals fit perfectly with Jay’s lyricism. If you’re in need of some chill hip-hop after a rough Friday night, I would suggest downloading the track below. “The Moon and the Sky” will appear on Sade’s upcoming The Ultimate Collection, which drops May 3rd.

Hip-Hop | Mr. Forbes – Nike’s On My Feet | Hip-Hop
Posted by BIGLIFE on April 6, 2011
Mr. Forbes flipped Mac Miller’s hit “Nike’s On My Feet” with some edgy verses that still maintain the “chill” vibe of the original. If you’ve overplayed Mac’s version, give this one a shot – I’m digging the change. Check out more o Mr. Forbes work on Facebook.

Jacob Es is back with yet another gnarly track. I’ve been holding onto this one because I didn’t want it to get lost in the mix of a denser hip-hop post. Totally unique sound right here – check it out.

Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalifa & Big K.R.I.T., Mac Miller ft. Wale, & Chris Brown | Hip-Hop
Posted by GMONEY on April 6, 2011
New track from some hip-hop heavyweights. Wiz’s verse is real solid, and Krit’s is good as well.

Mac has been pouring out music lately. Between this and his Chiddy Bang collaboration we posted yesterday, I think it’s safe to say that he’s making moves.

This is a poppy bonus cut from Chris Breezy’s F.A.M.E. album.

Xaphoon Jones, the production genius behind the sensation known as Chiddy Bang (for those of you living under a rock), just released his second solo mixtape. It includes various remixes, and mashups to some old and new songs. Theres a ton of different influences on here, from electro, to dubstep, to hip-hop. You can download the entire mixtape here if you’re really into Xaphoon, but below I posted some of my favorite tracks.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Big K.R.I.T. – ReturnOf4Eva (Mixtape)
Posted by GMONEY on March 28, 2011
I’m not one to bash modern hip-hop saying things like “lyricism is dead” and what not, but Big K.R.I.T.’s lyricism and subject matter is much more potent than most. In the past year Krit has generated a tremendous buzz amongst hip-hop heads everywhere. So with no further adieu, here is the download link to ReturnOf4Eva. Below are a few of my favorite tracks off the 21 track mixtape.

Trade my materials for a piece of mind, I’m so close to heaven and hell I just need some time. Who cares about life and the high’s and low’s? Maybe I should write another song about pimps and hoes.
Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Bijan – Famous for Tonight (feat. Dancernaut) | Dubstep-Hop
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 28, 2011
Bijan and Dancernaut eased their way into the FNT sheets about a month ago and have become quite comfortable around here. While their original tracks sported an indie-hop vibe, their latest project is a trendy blend: one part dubstep and two parts hip-hop (hook and verses). I love the versatility of these two, be sure to check out their latest freestyle here (includes a FNT shoutout). For more information check out Bijan on his Facebook and Twitter and Dancernaut on his Facebook and Twitter.
