Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | Jetpack Jones – That Blow ft. Robby Ra$hu (Prod. by Beemo)
Posted by J_Salzer on April 7, 2013
FNT favorite, Jetpack Jones, unleashes his newest single on the interwebs today. My internet was being spotty(shout out to Bright House customer care on Twitter) and I couldn’t listen to the song for about 3 hours. When I finally realized I should download it instead of trying to stream it, I was hit with a sense of euphoria as I listened to the track for the first time. Jetpack often sends me music and claims it’s his best work to date, I’ve grown accustomed to hearing the same sound from him. That is by no means a bad thing, as I enjoy his sound immensely, but this song has changed my view entirely. That Blow does have the same Jetpack feel I’ve come to know, along with the extraterrestrial-type beat he so often paints his pictures over, but it also features the best lyrics I’ve ever heard from the Lakewood rapper. Stream and download the track below and check out Jetpack on Facebook and Twitter.
Albums, Hip-Hop, Videos | Sam Lachow Presents: Young Seattle Part 2
Posted by J_Salzer on April 1, 2013
Seattle has one of the hottest hip-hop scenes in the country. All of the sounds that come from there are unique, and the various artists featured on Sam Lachow’s Young Seattle are no different. The video itself is cool, and is filmed almost like a cypher. My favorite verse is probably the second, as Gift Uh Gab absolutely kills it. The verse by Sam’s partner in crime, Raz Simone, is also a work of beauty. Even though there are so many different types of rap featured in this video, it’s good to see that they can all mesh and all support each other.

I’ve been aware of Hi-Rez’s growing stardom for awhile now, but it wasn’t until I really delved into his work that I realized how deserving he is. Rez is a talented rapper in his own right, who cares about the kind of hip-hop he represents, and thus works diligently on his lyricism. Joining him on this gripping, melodic Cherne beat is Kinetics, an absolute lyrical warrior, who is becoming one of the blog-world’s most consistent songwriters and emcees. Neither disappoints here, and Kinetics’ enthralling hook is what gives it its true lasting appeal. Be sure to stay updated on these two as their popularity continues to grow — we can only imagine that they are destined for long careers given their talent.
Hip-Hop | Foreign Beggars Ft. Skinnyman & DVS – Hold On (Maksim Edition)
Posted by Mach on March 28, 2013
Miksim is one of the hottest MCs in the UK, spitting over Hip-Hop, Grime, and even Dubstep and its many sub-genres. He has done a lot of work with great producers such as Culprate, Document One, Quartus Saul, and many others. This is a great track for him to have picked to rap over. Foreign Beggars have always had verse friendly beats that have been successfully redone by many. Maksim comes in like boss, spitting a flow flawlessly to the kicks and snare. Definitely on of my favorites of his now.

Progressive House | Rihanna Feat. Mikky Ekko – Stay (Moiez Remix)
Posted by Middy on March 22, 2013
Canadian Moiez is back with another remix coming off of his first batch of shows in Vancouver, this time of Rihanna’s recent single “Stay”. He couples Rihanna’s smooth vocals with an easy piano driven build that crescendoes into a break of a prominent, rolling low end and a pitched synth melody with subtle piano for layering. With possibly his best remix this year, Moiez is showing that his best work still lies ahead of him.
