Electro | Pretty Lights feat. Talib Kweli – Around The Block
Posted by Middy on April 15, 2013
Derek Vincent Smith aka Pretty Lights has been quiet on the release front lately, but only because he is getting set to release his 4th artist album “A Color Map of the Sun” on July 2nd. One of the hardest working and most generous guys in the industry, he has made a name for himself with a stunning live show and a compliment of free downloads that always puts all of his music directly into the hands of his fans free of charge.
His unique blend of funk, soul, electro, and hip hop has made him a favorite of fans across genres. Tonight, free of charge of course, he released the first single off of the album “Around the Block”, featuring Talib Kweli. The track has the gritty soul that you expect from a PL track and mixed with Talib Kweli’s smooth bars, it is an outstanding first look at what we can expect July 2nd. You can pre-order the album now in physical copy on his website in packages of other merchandise, which costs money, but if there is anyone who you should pick up the CD from, it would be Pretty Lights. If your finances are not in order, then in true Pretty Light fashion, it will be available for free download on release day. After the jump, check out the teaser for the full documentary of the making of the album.

Nicki dropped this record breaking video a couple days back for her first single off her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, whose release date recently got pushed back from V-Day until April, 3rd. Although this video broke Vevo’s record for most views in first 24 hours with 4.8million, I can’t say all the feedback has been positive. With more than 2x as many dislikes as likes on Youtube, this video gives Rebecca Black something to strive for. The only thing this video really proved to me, was Nicki’s badunkadunk is 100% au naturalé. Lastly, Nicki confirmed Guetta’s single “Turn Me On” will also be featured on her album.

Breezy Breezy Breezy, committing battery on this dirty electro-pop beat by The Underdogs. Too soon? Sorry RiRi, I love you more anyways. The second single off Brown’s 5th studio album, Fortune, will likely receive the “We Found Love” treatment from the radio.

John Legend, the man who rarely does wrong, recruits Ludachristopher for his new single. This is that baby making music.
P.S. I apologize for the mediocre quality, I’ll update with the mastered once it drops.

Videos | Outasight- Tonight is the Night
Posted by ATexas on November 26, 2011
Outasight released their visuals to their new smash hit “Tonight is the Night.” Richard Andrew(also known as Outasight) has been killing it since the beginning and I’m proud to say I’ve got to watch this artist grow. Catch “Tonight is the NIght” on all the Pepsi commercials coming out. As Biglife liked to point out, its a lot of hipster for one video, but hell live a little and embrace the hipster…temporarily of course.
Hip-Hop, Pop | Outasight – Loosen Up
Posted by ATexas on September 29, 2011
Outasight recently just released their newest single Tonight is the Night on Itunes, and its hella good, but since FNT is about that free music I thought I’d post this jam “Loosen Up” thats been floating around for a week or two. All about Matt Max’s synthy pop beat lacing with Outasights rapping and singing abilities. He’s all about the pop version of hip hop and is currently featured on Pepsi’s newest ad campaign. Happy to say I’ve been following him for quite some time. Basically, he’s the man.

Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Bijan – Famous for Tonight (feat. Dancernaut) | Dubstep-Hop
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 28, 2011
Bijan and Dancernaut eased their way into the FNT sheets about a month ago and have become quite comfortable around here. While their original tracks sported an indie-hop vibe, their latest project is a trendy blend: one part dubstep and two parts hip-hop (hook and verses). I love the versatility of these two, be sure to check out their latest freestyle here (includes a FNT shoutout). For more information check out Bijan on his Facebook and Twitter and Dancernaut on his Facebook and Twitter.
