Abstract Hip-Hop | Old Greg – Ready or Not
Posted by yabishcic on October 16, 2013
Not the most popular of all producer’s, and probably as underground as you can get, but I just love his shit too much to not show all you out here searching for some fresh new sounds to listen to. This is his latest riff ‘Ready or Not’ just posted today sampled from Delfonics, but if you go through his sounds, they’re just straight dirty. From ‘1, 2, 3 Kick it’, ‘Bass Pro Shop’, ‘Wub Love’ (my favorite), ‘Midwest is Young and Restless’, and a lot more quick tunes to satisfy your new music niche, Old Greg formally known as Grant Gregory is too talented with his abstract way of going about music to go unnoticed.

Electro, Hip-Hop, Trap | Falcons – Julio (Falcons Remix)
Posted by yabishcic on October 7, 2013
Coming off of a afternoon work shift I was feeling particularly unenthused and tired. I naturally get in my car, light a stog, go to my SoundCloud app and listen to the new music from my feed on my drive home from work to (hopefully) somewhat better my spirits with some good tunes. Today nothing was really catching my attention until I heard Busta Rhymes all-too-familiar tune remixed into this totally dope version somewhere between hip-hop, trap & throwback. #instalove. Falcons never fails me I swear. My mood went from sour to sweet in almost an instant – crazy how a good song can turn your whole day around. Gacias, Senior Falc$. I can now sleep in peace.
Hip-Hop | Robbie Maxx feat. ReyGLPA – That Shit Cray
Posted by VMan on October 3, 2013
Here’s some local hip-hop from Robbie Maxx featuring ReyGLPA “That Shit Cray.” I had seen this video on Twitter yesterday, and felt like showing love to these artists today. I fux with this beat heavy, reminds me of a Danny Brown record, and the fellas do their thing on it. I can see this record getting played at the clubs, it’s catchy and ignorant, and I mean that with all respect. Also word on the street, Robbie Maxx is ‘opening up for Dirt Nasty tomorrow night at Webster Hall, so here’s to your FNT debut, and best of luck on the show!
Chill | Djemba Djemba – I Just Go (Tk Kayembe RMX)
Posted by mimada on October 1, 2013
Treat yourself today with this remix from TeamSupreme producer, Tk Kayembe, of Djemba Djemba’s rhythmic “I Just Go.” Tk’s rewerk is a bit more feminine and flirtatious, if you will, and a step away from his normal style. So before you do anything today, press play and let this track trigger your motivation to conquer your Tuesday <3

Well folks, it’s been real. Tomorrow, Sept 22, marks the official end of summer 2013. In honor of the change in season, I present to you the second installment of my very own Warm Air mixtapes. A mix designed to ease the transition of swimsuits to sweaters and piña coladas to pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha lattes. A mix to warm you up in the cool autumn breeze, to relive the sweet memories of the past few months, and keep your spirits up and motivated as you face challenges in school, work, and everyday life. So close your eyes, and let this mix take you back to that moment on the beach where you dug a hole in the sand with your toes as you watched the sun set, or when you indulged in the most amazing 4th of July BBQ of your life, or drove around recklessly with the top down and the radio up, or the night you watched an epic fireworks spectacle with your boo thang wrapped up tight in your arms.
Remember, just because the summer is over doesn’t mean the fun is. Oh no, 2013 can and will go out with a bang. With 3 months left to go, it’s time the real fun begins.
I’d also like to dedicated this mix to one of my most beautiful friends as she turns 21 today. Hope you enjoy this mixtape as you take your first legal swigs of alcohol today, take an extra big one for me <3
Listen to this mix via 8tracks here.
Ambient, Chill | Sean Kongery – Paper
Posted by admin on September 16, 2013
I’m excited to present to you today a beautifully constructed instrumental piece from the ever-so-talented, Sean Kongery. Although, I had heard Kongery produce other artist’s music and even unleash a few EDM remixes here and there, I had yet to hear a full out instrumental track made for “vibing”, “chilling” and other cool “ing” words.
As completely and utterly over-used that Biggie vocal samples are, Mr. Kongery managed to “wow” me yet again and put an interesting spin on the King of rap’s words.
Perhaps just as stunning as the song itself is the video done by Lake Effect Films. These guys pulled out all of the stops and really made a product worth sharing. Enjoy the video above and catch the audio below if you’re about that life.
