RnB | Sean Kongery – Aware (ft. Elias)
Posted by admin on November 6, 2013
The beatsmith formally known as Sean Kongery is back. This time, the LA up and comer teams up with fellow Cali-vocalist Elias to create a smooth, soothing -I have just coined the word smoothing as an adjective for this song- ballad. In-house video team, Lake Effect Films, has yet again out done himself and absolutely blows me away with the story he managed to create behind the song.
Sean is soon to be at the key player in pop production, so it’ll be exciting to see the future singles as well as placements he’ll be getting these next couple months. For the time being, enjoy the song and video!
Also, the sampling of “Mr. Sandman” in the first few seconds of the visual is a fantastic touch.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Sage the Gemini – Swerve
Posted by yabishcic on November 5, 2013
Sage the Gemini has been attracting a lot of attention in the hip-hop world recently with the drops of his most notable singles Gas Pedal & Red Nose. He’s got the voice for the mic and the right production of music to make his stuff catchy. Currently loving on this beat he slapped up yesterday from his Gas Pedal EP available on iTunes as of September 10th, 2013.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Troy Ave Ft. Young Lito – “Im Dat Nigga” (Prod By Myles William X Stats X Reefa)
Posted by VMan on November 5, 2013
Damn man, the producer from the 201 Jersey area currently signed to Irv Gotti’s ATM label Mr Myles William, sent over his latest release “Im Dat Nigga” with the most talked about rapper at the moment Troy Ave featuring Young Lito. The record is off Troy’s album “New York City,” and this is what the NYC hip hop scene’s been missing: raw lyrics, hard beats, and boasting. There’s no wonder this album’s been making its round on the blogosphere, and I’m proud to know the homie Myles is behind this production, along with the legendary Reefa and Stats. This is a must listen and must download!

Electro-House | Dirtyloud Ft. Sirreal – Needle (FTampa Remix)
Posted by Mach on November 1, 2013
FTampa is one of those artists I feel has never gotten the amount of love he deserves. He dropped this raver’s fantasy today as a little thank you to the fans he has had and the support they have given over the years. I have had a little trouble listening to House and Electro-House lately due to how the festival scene has forced upon artists repetitiveness in production. Since my first days with FNT up to today, FTampa has never disappointed me with a track. This remix is no exception to that either, enjoy.

Trap | Imogen Heap – Hide and Seek (Candyland’s OG Remix)
Posted by Nick on October 28, 2013
I’m surprised this track hasn’t gotten more coverage over the past few days. Candyland, the killer duo from Isla Vista, comprised of Josie Martin & Ethan Davis, just released (yet another) OG remix – and it’s spectacular to say the least.
Remember back in ’09 when a bunch of artists kept remixing/sampling this song (e.g. – Tiësto’s Remix and Jason Derulo’s “Watcha Say”)? Well, Candyland just brought it back, and it’s straight fire. The way these two chop and screw the vocals, and then throw down an original beat with that classic Candyland sound is refreshing, leaving you wondering how you’re going to wait for their next production. Hit up that free download and enjoy!
Hip-Hop, Rap | Waldo – Kobe’s Room (Truth Be Told)
Posted by yabishcic on October 22, 2013
Produced by Sango himself, this was bound to be a fresh new track. I’ve been keeping up with Waldo ever since I discovered him back before the new year – his popularity is steadily increasing, which I’m happy to see, but I’m even happier about the collab EP that Waldo & Sango just recently dropped, NSDE/OUTSDE. The project is dense with a flow and unrelenting heat that compliments Waldo’s delivery and establishes him as a force to be reckoned with. From the commandeering of his midwest flow to the confidence of his staccato, “he presents the production with intense imagery and a spirit of adventurousness that perfects the latest trend of experimentalism on the rise in hip-hop as Michigan continues its quiet reign” (Okayplayer.com). NSDE/OUTSDE features appearances from JOOSE and The SEVENth while Marvel Alexander and Mr. Carmack provide the assist on production. ‘Kobe’s Room’ is featured 4th on the NSDE, but with both sides having equally all good tracks, this is definitely something that you guys will want to check out, ya know what I’m sayin? :p
Hip-Hop, Rap | OFWGKTA – Extinguisher
Posted by yabishcic on October 16, 2013
Most people veer away from Odd Future for their explicit and uncomfortable lyrics, but personally, I love the controversy. They turn heads and interest people in the most unnerving way, which is what music is all about. Mellowhigh – which is a collaboration of Mellowhype’s Hodgy Beats & Left Brain – created a lot of anticipation for their upcoming, self-titled album with the release of the single ‘Extinguisher’. Not too long, only 2 minutes long, with great production and a solid beat, I’m impressed and excited for the album.
