Hip-Hop, Pop, RnB | Qwote
Posted by Grubeats on December 24, 2011
Quote has broken FNT ground a few times before, but I felt his resume qualified him for a solo post. Supplying bangers as thick as the back side of this broad, the Miami native has worked with some of the game’s best including Pitbull, Rick Ross, J.R. Rotem, & Jim Jonsin to name a few. The pop/rnb/hip-hop go getter has a very fluent and bodacious voice that allows him to work so versatilely with all these artists. I’ve yet to hear Qwote on the radio up in New England, but once people get a shot of this guys music, I have a feeling they’ll be calling for a second round very soon after. Below is his most recent mixtape, Love Her Lips, highlighted with a few of my favorite cuts.
“My goal is to create a new lane that can bring fresh innovative music that touches the soul and evokes thought, passion, and creativity on another level.”

Hip-Hop, Videos | Drake, Rihanna, Rick Ross, Nelly

25 sittin’ on 25 mil. Drizzy brings his batting gloves as he knocks the new visuals for “The Motto” out of the park. Fellow CMB members Lil Wayne and Tyga join the show, both delivering crisp verses over the rhythmic T-Minus production. The real question I have is WTF is Weezy wearing on his feet? Neon green casts? Snow boots? This is “swag” on a whole new level. #YOLO

The title track off Rihanna’s scorching new album, Talk The Talk, got the Bauce Sauce treatment. Not an official remix, but Ross adds a verse at the commencement of the track. Rozay confirmed that he’s been working on a new mixtape and will be revealing the title and release date by week’s end.

Nelly aiming to resurrect his radio presence? By the sounds of this new track, “Champion” off his next mixtape, Nelly appears to be looking to make a case for the mainstream. Fans can relate. The song will probably be picked up by a movie or sports commercial. 80’s baby’s will always love Nelly. Get ’em Megget!

Mixtapes | The Weeknd- Echoes of Silence (Mixtape)
Posted by GMONEY on December 22, 2011
I don’t know what it is, but the Weeknd makes that driving into a retainer wall at 3 A.M. in the morning type of music. It’s dark, it’s moody, it’s drug inspired. For a man that still hasn’t granted one interview, industry chatter is understandably high. Rumors have been circulating that Diddy offered him 2 million to sign, and he turned it down. Just a few days ago, we heard that the Weeknd signed with an outside investor for 11 million.
Although we certainly admire the Weeknd, it doesn’t seem entirely plausible to us. Don’t get us wrong, the Weeknd is one of our favorite artists right now. However, The Weeknd makes music that you would likely never find on the radio. He’s not interested in making mainstream hits. That’s just not his lane. If he really was signed for 11 million, then I don’t see how the investor could make a return on his profit. What do I know though. I’m sitting here blogging in my underwear eating oreos at 10 AM.

Progressive House | Badisco – Melancholy (Original Mix)
Posted by W8 on December 9, 2011
I’ve desperately been seeking an ID on this track for way too long now, finally it has surfaced to air. Badisco is a young talent rising out of Switzerland, just recently this track was magnified by the likes of none other than Tiesto on his weekly radio show Club Life. Simply put, Badisco has mastered echoic soaring synths that thirst for a stadium. Get it on Beatport.

Hip-Hop, Videos | B.o.B. ft. Lil Wayne – Strange Clouds [Music Video]

B.o.B. brings us the visuals for his first radio hit off his recent mixtape, EPIC: Every Play Is Crucial, as him and Weezy head to the country side to get a better viewing of the Strange Clouds. I found the video a bit humorous in parts and Wayne is acting a fool in the majority of his parts, which added a little dynamism to the video. If you haven’t yet, go cop the full mixtape HERE and be on the lookout for a single off Bobby Ray’s sophomore album, Strange Clouds, dropping soon.

Hip-Hop, RnB | Mike Posner – Looks Like Sex
Posted by GMONEY on November 29, 2011
Mike Posner released his first single off his sophomore album today. Using his unique sound Posner releases a radio ready track titled, Looks Like Sex. If this track sounds familiar, it’s because it is. We received a preview of this track off Posner’s last project, The Layover.
For those of you who don’t know, Posner’s sophomore album will be titled Sky High and is expected to be released sometime in 2012.
House | Swedish House Mafia Vs. Knife Party – Antidote (Original Mix)
Posted by Middy on November 18, 2011
After listening to live and radio rips for the last couple months, we finally have the full version of the vocal mix of Swedish House Mafia and Knife Party’s “Antidote”. If you are wondering how this could have leaked, remember that the vocal mix of “One” leaked early before Pharrell had the opportunity to hear the final version. They had us fooled with “Save The World” having everyone thinking they had the final version, but they were all wrong. So here we are with “Antidote” and everything in this song points to the fact that this is the final version. SHM has said it is finished, they have sent out cds to other DJs and labels and this just seems finished. Here are the vocal mix and instrumental mixes that everyone has wanted 2 months ahead of its scheduled January 15th release date. It will be interesting to see how this affects this song and its release. Props to T.
