Events | FNT Presents Tiesto: AMHERST, MA
Posted by GMONEY on September 23, 2011
Biglife and I are finally recovering from our Tiesto shows earlier this week, and for those of you who missed out, check out the video above for a recap.
Here is what Tiesto’s team had to say about our first stop:
Ok so I must admit that this Amherst show threw me off my game… in a great way! Instead of capturing as much amazing footage as I’ve been getting in the nights prior to this I fell into an amazing abyss of FOMO (fear of missing out). I just had to join the crowd and dance or I just would have felt left out. The energy in the air was beyond electric! Each instance of my attempting to carry out my duties was thwarted by glowing grins and an ever-present voice in my head encouraging me to join in their exploits on the main floor. It’s hard to hold a camera when you’re jumping up and down amongst four thousand other like-minded individuals going maximal crazy. My voice isn’t the only thing I lost. I’m pretty sure (like the rest of the crowd) that I lost my mind.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Tayyib Ali Summer Tour Footage (Video)
Posted by Grubeats on September 14, 2011
While Tayyib Ali had a busy summer on the road, Jon Kilmer was behind the camera capturing nearly every moment of it. From New York to Philly, to Massachusetts, to Boulder, Tayyib showed fans just what he’s all about. I was fortunate to catch up with Tay down in Plymouth, MA where he had the crowd moving like a veteran. Still only 19, this young Philly gun is poised for success and with new material just around the corner, expect more big things to come from Ali.
In other news, Statik Selektah released the track list for his upcoming album, where Tayyib will make an appearance along with Mac Miller, Bun B, Talib Kweli, Joel Ortiz, Big K.R.I.T., XV, and several other notable artists.
Recent Features from Tayyib:
Download: Hoodie Allen – Can’t Hold Me Down ft. Tayyib Ali
Download: Rockie Fresh – Living Remix ft. Casey Veggies & Tayyib Ali
Download: Rockie Fresh – They Don’t Understand Why (Remix) ft. Tayyib Ali
Freestyle, Hip-Hop | Moufy – Humble Season (I’m On One Freestyle)
Posted by Grubeats on September 13, 2011
Among all the young artists on the rise, Boston’s rapper Moufy, is making some serious headway as of late. While aggressively on his grind, the Roxbury, MA native is doing what he can to put his city on the map. With nearly 22,000 Facebook fans and over 5,000 Twitter followers, the Star Gang commander is on a mission for success. Heavily weighing on his unconventional guerrilla marketing approach, Moufy and his “affiliates” have been building quite the following and are beginning to make some noise in the industry. Here we have the first track since his recent mixtape, Boston Lights, which dropped only a few weeks back. Certainly, right now, Moufy is indeed ‘on one’.

Posted by Mach on April 16, 2011
DJ White Rabbit is not only new to the production game, but to DJing also. He is from Middletown, Maryland and in no way produces like a newbie. He likes to mash with electro and hip-hop, but plans to start producing his own electro and dubstep soon. Check him out on his Facebook.

These next mashers call themselves DubMashProductions, its obvious what kinds of mashups they make but also produce other types of mashups time to time. These two 16 year olds, yea thats right, just started producing this year and reside in Concord, MA. First track I listen to of theirs was the Pretty Lights mashup, I was instantly digging what they did. Check out the Duos Facebook and Soundcloud.

Hip-Hop | HIP-HOP | Did Dre Just Announce the Detox Release Date?
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 18, 2011
I know, I know, I know. I’ve already posted a ton of Hip-Hop today. Well guess what? I have one more post coming at you which I couldn’t hold off on mainly because I’m highly optimistic about Detox (unlike a large majority of our followers). In the twitter video above, Just Blaze insinuates that Detox will drop on 4.20. First off, this is a terrific marketing scheme; reserve the annual stoner day for the ultimate stoner album. I couldn’t ask for better timing on a project that’s eluded a definitive timeframe for so long. However, I’m somewhat skeptical about the way in which these two leaked this information. Dre put himself in a situation that’ll be easy to dispute in the future if Detox doesn’t finally see daylight on 4/20. My fingers will be crossed until then and I’ll also be praying that the full album doesn’t leak before the actual due date, how tragic would that be?
UPDATE:
Here are some tracks to go along with the post…
