Hip-Hop, Rap | GoldLink – They Don’t Like Me
Posted by admin on July 24, 2013
Over the past few months we’ve seen music take numerous cities by storm. First, Seattle’s movement lead by Macklemore, followed soon by a Chicago campaign spearheaded by Chance the Rapper and Chief Keef. Now bloggers and fans wait anxiously, all in hopes that their hometown is the next to take over. I, admittedly, am one of those bloggers. However, I know the DMV is next to pop where as most other people are just hoping.
Today I bring you “They Don’t Like Me” the newest song from Virginia resident, GoldLink. Although I can be quick to place an artist in a box with similar sounding acts, I can’t quite put my finger on GoldLink’s sound. His delivery and cadence control is that of a rap veteran, with each line punctuating the Skywlkr beat with force.
“They Don’t Like Me” is just a taste of what this kid can do, so stay tuned for some of the full-length tracks that he’s got coming, because from what I’ve heard it won’t be long before GoldLink is a name that will be popping up on a regular basis.
Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB, Videos | Jeedy – Fine China (Remix)
Posted by admin on June 17, 2013
A new face to Fresh New Tracks, Jeedy, is a soulful emcee with poise and passion. The young cat has been working tirelessly since graduating college to perfect his craft and take his music to the next level. To hold his fans over until the release of his full mixtape, Jeedy decided to unleash a quick verse over Chris Brown’s “Fine China” instrumental. The song, as short as it is, does what it needs to do: show the world the talent which Jeedy possesses. Virginia-raised, Jeedy has made it his personal goal to put V-A on the map and being a resident myself, I couldn’t be happier.
Enjoy this tid-bit of music and stay tuned for plenty more coming very soon!
FYI, Pop | Justin Timberlake – I’m Ready
Posted by J_Salzer on January 10, 2013
Before everyone gets too excited, I’m obligated to tell all of you that this is not an actual song. The song will come at some point in the next 5 days, and expect it to be on FNT within 7 seconds of its release. This brief video is a small look into Justin Timberlake’s musical mind. This dude has been crazy busy, juggling acting, music, and reviving washed up social media websites. Good to hear how much of perfectionist he is, which gives me hope that his album(rumored to be produced by Timberland), will be nothing less than the best. Check out the black and white minute video above and be on the lookout for a J-Tim drop on SUNDAY.
Also, for the sake of news, Destiny’s Child also announced that they will be releasing a new song to add to their career compilation, “Love Songs.” The track will be produced by Virginia native Pharrell and will feature the last 3 members of DC, the trio of Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland. Looks like 2013 is the year of the comeback. Be on the lookout for that release on January 29th.
Hip-Hop | Skillz – 2011 Rap Up
Posted by Grubeats on January 22, 2012
Despite the fact Skillz “Rap Up’s” are one of my personal favorite releases year after year, I dropped the ball on this one. Nevertheless, VA native, Skillz, rapped up the highlights of 2011 with his annual jam. It takes talent to creatively consolidate everything that happened in the 525,948 minutes of 2011 into a 3:40 song. Production credits go to Skillz, Jazzy Jeff, and Johnnie “Smurf” Smith. I’m only giving you the iTunes link because when an artist only drops one hit a year, the least you can do is give him a buck.
