Albums | Clinton Sparks Readies Upcoming “My Awesome Mixtape 2”

Posted by on February 9, 2012

Coming off a recent Grammy nomination for his work on Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”, multi-platinium producer Clinton Sparks has been hard at work preparing for the release of his highly anticipated “My Awesome Mixtape 2”. Rumored to be narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, the project will be heavily dance inspired (think Skrillex meets Jim Jones or Sidney Samson meets Rick Ross) and is slated for a Valentine’s day release. Talk about bawse. Now I know what I’m getting my ladyfriend for Valentine’s day. To hold us over until then, Get Familiar was kind enough to drop off a few tracks for our listening pleasure that I’ve included below. If these tracks are any indicator of what’s to come, 2012 could be Clinton Sparks’s break out year as an artist. Get familiar with Clinton’s movement by connecting with him on Facebook and Twitter. As a bonus, hit read on to check out Clinton’s recent video for “No Swag” featuring Jacob Kasher and Phil Shaouy.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Locksmith & Wale

Posted by on February 7, 2012

Immortal Technique? No, but sounds almost exactly the same, even his style matches up. Illuminati is the first preview for Locksmith’s upcoming project, Labyrinth, set to drop this March. His name might be Locksmith, but I think they should call him wordsmith for how devastating his verses are on this track.

Going off on an A$AP Rocky single, is Wale with a smooth versed freestyle. He comes in quick after the voice samples keeping it tight to the beat, doing a great job maintaining the vibe of the instrumental. Wale is rapping about going hard…are you surprised?

Videos | Exclusive: Jay Fresh- The Motto Freestyle

Posted by on February 6, 2012


“Blowing on that doja/still losing my composure/and I’m still gettin’ wiser as these n*ggas gettin’ older.”

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Living that maxim, Jay Fresh linked up with Taylin Draper Media to put his own spin on Drake’s famed “Motto” single. With SXSW quickly approaching, Conception Crafters and Jay Fresh have been hard at work with SuperVison, DVS, and Jus-Stone (just to name a select few), aiming to release another project before the masses converge on Austin. In addition to his own project, the rising internet sensation will also be featured on Gramatik’s forthcoming release as well. Talk about Y.O.L.O. It’s only a matter of time until I’ll be asking Jay for a photo, but you already know doe.  Be sure to follow Jay on his journey via Twitter and Facebook. *Insert conspicuous delta symbol here*

Electro | Scott Summers- I Am Scott Summers (Mixtape)

Posted by on February 6, 2012


When P from H-Town sends tracks over, I know it’s something serious. I’m not even a big remix guy, so you know this mixtape is solid. Scott has been producing and song writing for over 10 years and has a knack for banging out hot originals (and models). His influences include RedOne, Max Martin, and Swedish House Mafia. Not a bad lineup if you ask me. Below, I’ve included my two favorite cuts from the project (one of which Interscope picked up as the official remix) as well as the link to the entire project. If you like what you hear, be sure to “Like” his Facebook page here.

RnB | Frank Ocean- Voodoo

Posted by on January 29, 2012


Frank Ocean’s distinctive sound has arrived in the form of a new track, which he released late last night via his Tumblr account. While the enigmatic artist has yet to provide details about his forthcoming album, the anticipation surrounding the project is notable. While details are scare, “Voodoo” gives us a tiny window as to what we can expect for the album. Frank croons: “She’s got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit he’s got the whole wide world in his pants. He’s got the whole wide world in a wedding band; he put the whole wide world on her hand. She’s got the whole wide world in her hands.” One thing is certain; Frank Ocean has the R&B world in his nostalgic hands. I don’t see him letting go.
