It’s no secret we’re Play-N-Skillz fans. Pioneers in the trap and hip-hop world, the Grammy boys deliver their new Shelby Shaw and Bun B assisted “Party People” single and video. Directed by Chris Levario, the video transports us to Winston’s Supperclub, where Play-N-Skillz whip the crowd into a frenzy of dancing and turning up. Sonically, “Party People” is a radio ready trap inspired hit that’s pays homage to their roots while showcasing their evolution as artists and producers. It’s an impressive official showing from the brothers, riddled with Dallas centric references complete with a melodic hook from recent signee, Shelby Shaw. Play-N-Skillz. Shelby Shaw. Bun Bun. Trap Hard Texas. Make “way for Bun B and Play-N-Skillz” on iTunes, they’re coming through.

Abstract Hip-Hop, Trap | Love Me X The ClubCasa Chamber Orchestra (SuGar Edition)
Posted by mimada on March 19, 2014
Alright so I’ve got 17 minutes on my self-timer before my computer goes into lockdown and I’m forced to start writing my 10-page midterm essay, so I gotta make this brief. Just moments earlier I was tipped off about this French producer SuGar and upon listening just to his most recent upload, I was compelled to expose this hidden gem. This track is a bit of a remix inception so ima break it down for you here. It all started with Lil Wayne’s “Love Me” feat. Drake & Future, which was then adapted (almost the point of being unrecognizable!) by sly5thave, a Brooklyn jazz musician and producer (who has some incredible other jazz covers worth checking out), which also features The ClubCasa, a Brooklyn-based music collective. Then finally, SuGar got ahold of that, spun a little trap on that ish and sprinkled it with some Bun B “Draped Up” rhymes and voilà! You’ve got this dirty south, brassy trap joint that’s simply one of a kind. And I’ve got another 5 minutes left on my timer, just enough to hit replay. Enjoy ~
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | KURT – Red Carpet Ignorance [Mixtape]
Posted by Grubeats on January 18, 2013
Four months ago I stumbled across a freestyle over “Next Episode”. Naturally, I was skeptical of even listening because it’s certainly no walk in the park to bring justice to one of the Doc’s best recipes. Pleasantly surprised by what I heard, I reached out to Long Island native, KURT with hopes of learning about him and his music. Describing “Next Episode” as the starting blocks for the next chapter of his story, KURT released this as a promo single for what at that time was his upcoming mixtape, Red Carpet Ignorance. The feedback was incredible and even KURT himself couldn’t believe the cosigns he was receiving.
KURT transferred the positive energy from his freestyles to his lead single, “No Shame”, which once again garnered some serious attention from local radio DJ’s. In a recent interview alongside producer WhiteLie, KURT described “No Shame” as a “stripped down banger”, which in a sense was initially made as a joke record. The rapping-producing duo have been working alongside each other for close to 8 years now diligently building a unified and distinguished sound.
Red Carpet Ignorance was a long time coming, but artistically paints the scene of a young aspiring star walking the red carpet on his premier night. KURT understands the importance of staying “classy” in the public eye, but also believes celebrating life is also about the occasional asinine or “ignorant” acts. This mixtape is a culmination of KURT’s premier night. The first track, “Hallelujah (Intro)” sets the tone for KURT’s journey, as he marches on set with WhiteLie, confidently laying the brick and mortar for the foundation of his throne. RCI features a broad range of sounds, emotions, and energy, but the quality of each individual track is consistent throughout. Thus far, my personal favorites are “Hallelujah”, “Good Morning Beautiful” which features singer Robbie Nova, “Don’t Need ‘Em” which features an original verse from the O.G. Bun B, “Ignorant Interlude”, and lastly “City Love Jones”.

Childish Gambino delivers this brand new mixtape for our listening pleasure. This 18 track compilation from Mr. Glover features some FNT favorites including SchoolBoy Q, Chance The Rapper, Danny Brown, Bun B, and many more. Make sure you get this because it is a MUST DOWNLOAD. My notable tracks would be Toxic, They Don’t Like Me, and Black Faces. I think this was a big improvement from his Album, feel free to sound off in the comment section with your opinions.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Trae Tha Truth – I’m On 2.0
Posted by GMONEY on February 3, 2012
Trae Tha Truth uses his connections to recruit some of the biggest names in the hip hop industry to supply us with an epic remix to Mark Morrison’s, I’m On. I’m honestly shocked that Trae the Truth had the ability to recruit this much talent for one of his tracks, so I am lost for words.
Download: Trae Tha Truth f. Big K.R.I.T, Jadakiss, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, B.o.B., Tyga, Gudda Gudda, Bun B, & Mark Morrison- I’m On 2.0 DOPE!!!

Hip-Hop, RnB | Mike Posner ft. Bun B-Rocket Man
Posted by ATexas on November 15, 2011
Since enrolling at said college, I have become an insomniac thus the reason I always post chill melodic tunes. Mike Posner hits us with just that, super chill and super flowing. Bun B slaps it with his verse as he finishes out the song. Sorry I’m not sorry for a certain genre of music always being posted, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Insomniacs will appreciate this and maybe hit it up with some visualizer? Simple pleasures.
