Hip-Hop | Kendrick Lamar – Westside, Right Now (ft. Young Jeezy)
Posted by dshaq on August 17, 2012
Kendrick Lamar enlists Young Jeezy for this brand new track produced by Canei Finch, also mixed by Ali. Classic Kendrick flow on this one with a nice laid back soulful beat to compliment it, and as usual Jeezy kills it. Be on the lookout for more Kendrick, he’s definitely on the come up right now.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Hopsin – ill mind of Hopsin 5
Posted by dshaq on July 18, 2012
I’m not much of a Hopsin fan, but this really intrigued me. His lyrics are out there but his flow is on point. The emphasis is what really got me with this song, especially his yelling. This definitely makes me want to listen to some of his other stuff. Make sure to be on the lookout for more Hopsin and his Ill Mind.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Caleb James – Ground Up (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 15, 2012
Another post, another Chicago rapper. Caleb James, who is a relatively new face to FNT, released his latest mixtape today, and trust me, it’s a good one. Caleb is unique because he is so versatile. Instead of sticking to solely trap beats, or smoker’s anthems, he varies his beats allowing him to show his various flows. Garnering a couple notable features from fellow SAVEMONEY partners such as Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Nico Segal, and others, it makes for a great listen from start to finish. Be on the lookout for more Caleb and other SAVEMONEY artists.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | King Louie – Showtime (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 9, 2012
King Louie has been one of Chicago’s most respected up and coming rapper’s for a while now, even getting a shout-out from Kanye in the “I Don’t Like” remix. What we have here is his brand new mixtape. This 22 track tape is bound to please all musical tastes with some slowed down tracks, some upbeat ones, and of course a lot of trap beatz. Be on the lookout for more Louie, because this tape is too raw.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Moufy – Blow My High (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 8, 2012
Moufy hits us with his latest feel good track and visuals to keep us all tided over until his next major release. The fun-loving Moufy is pictured riding dirty around his city in this sunny video. The feel of the track is perfectly personified by the tone of the video. Although I could do without the “igh-igh-igh-igh” in the chorus, this is one of my favorite Moufy songs to date. Be on the lookout for an exclusive FNT release with Boston’s own coming to a computer near you next week.
Funny story(warning: not that funny), Moufy’s manager sent this over to me while I had food poisoning, and if anyone has had food poisoning, they’ll understand that it’s not the best time to be reviewing music. I told him I would post it and I forgot about it until a few minutes ago…so here we are..a few days late.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Bei Maejor – Pillz (Official Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 2, 2012
I’ve been convinced Bei Maejor is the most talented person in the music industry since I saw his cover of Racks about a year ago. The man can do it all, he raps, he produces, he sings, and does it all at a high level. His latest video release, Pillz, only confirms my convictions. Although the video is a little trippy, it fits the chorus’ theme of “pillz” very well. Bei’s production is out of this world, and his talent is unmistakeable. Peep the video above and be on the lookout for ANYTHING from Bei Maejor.
