Hip-Hop, Videos | PropaneLV – Rearview ft. Derek Cate (Music Video)

Posted by on October 25, 2011

PropaneLV’s second music video titled “Rearview” is a chill acoustic cut featuring YouTube sensation Derek Cate on the hook and Chi Duly behind the boards. The song is a reflection on the days that were less than bright while reluctantly leaving them in the dust. It just so happens that the three artists involved all hail from the same college town on the west coast, making the track hit home even harder.

Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg ft. Bruno Mars – Young, Wild, & Free (FINAL)

Posted by on October 10, 2011

This track leaked back in February, but it looks like this final version has a new verse from Wiz & Snoop. Oh and of course, what is any radio jam without Bruno Mars on the hook?

Hip-Hop | K-OS & Drake- Faith Part 2

Posted by on October 5, 2011

K-OS and Drake threw down to make Faith Part 2, after their first release last August, its been a long time coming. The song is set up pretty differently, knowing K-OS that’s not that bizarre. Let the first verse ride out to the guitar soul beat and the hook is wicked old school. With artists like Jay and Kanye hooking up with Otis, it seems that old school meets the newbies is not a passing trend.

Hip-Hop | Yelawolf, Rick Ross ft. Nicki Minaj

Posted by on October 4, 2011

Its tough to picture Yelawolf going in on an RnB track, and I think this is going to be as close as we’ll get to hearing that. That being said, Yela adds a his unique touch to this hook. If you’re turned off by the first few seconds of the track, just hang in there, it gets sick after the drop.

Just from this line alone, this track gets our seal of approval.

Indoor pool, outdoor pool, outdoor court, talkin’ Ray-J moves.

Hip-Hop | Bei Maejor ft. J. Cole (Music Video), e-dubble, & Jedi Mind Tricks

Posted by on September 20, 2011

Fresh off the release of his most recent mixtape, maejorMaejor, Bei drops the official visuals for the first single off his debut album.  We had previously seen an unofficial video for this which lacked an appearance from Jermaine.  Is it just me or do Cole and Maejor almost look like brothers?

Flipping pages, here’s a track from the Baltimore MC that dropped just a few days ago.  Personally I’m a big fan of e-dubble’s authentic style of creative hip-hop and sampling, but I don’t know how often he’s posted on FNT.  If you’ve never heard e-dubble, it may take a minute to warm up to him because his style is so unique.  He is the Santa Claus of free music and has a knack of finding some of the nicest samples.  On this particular track, his producer cuts up “Herb Dub Collie Dub” by Jamaican ska band The Skatalites.  He also switches up the hook from “Love Shack” and adds his own spin for part of his hook.

It’s been a minute since we heard from the underground army, Jedi Mind Tricks, but they are back on the scene despite the loss of producer, Stoupe (The Enemy Of Mankind).  Vinny Paz and Jus Allah have kept the group afloat as they plan to release their newest album, Violence Begets Violence, on October 25th of this year.

Hip-Hop | Fabolous ft. Trey Songz, Frank Ocean

Posted by on August 28, 2011

 

I’ve got to be honest, Fabolous hasn’t impressed me with anything lately. I guess when you go in over the Ryan Leslie’s Killin’ Em, everything else is just 2nd tier. However, it seems like Fabo is staging a comeback with this strong track. You can’t really go wrong with a Biggie sampled hook combined with some dope vocals from Trey Songz.

Pickin’ up a bad b*tch, the chick looks like my ad-libs, niiice.
