RnB | The Weeknd ft. Lady Gaga & Illangelo – Marry The Night (Remix)

Posted by on November 2, 2011

Now here at FNT we aren’t always up to date on the newest Gaga tracks, but we sure as hell are on point whenever The Weeknd puts out some new material. Abel Tesfaye was commissioned to remix Marry The Night for an upcoming Born This Way remix album that Lady Gaga is putting out November 21st. With his echoing, gospel like background vocals behind Gaga’s originals, The Weeknd signature touch is felt throughout the track.

Hip-Hop | Common – Blue Sky (Music Video)

Posted by on October 30, 2011

A few weeks ago we brought you Common’s smash single, Blue Sky, off his up coming album. Here are some dope visuals that the Chi-Town MC just released. He also announced that he will be pushing back the released date of The Dreamer, The Believer from November to December which is probably the result of him leaving his independent label to sign with Warner Brothers.

Hip-Hop | YONAS – Can’t Knock Me Down (Freestyle)

Posted by on October 27, 2011

YONAS is one full time baller.  He’s one of the most consistent, yet under looked and under appreciated artists in the game.  He constantly deliver’s quality and truth in his music.  Here’s the latest release from the Bronx MC, who gives us a freestyle to “Can’t Know Me Down”.  That’s really the approach YONAS has taken so far in his career and life certainly will never be the same for this kid.  Earlier this week he dropped a teaser to the video he recently shot for his remix to “Pumped Up Kicks”, which is tougher than any remix I’ve heard to date.  Be sure to stay tuned in to YONAS and I’ll be sure to share the video as soon as it drops.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Mac Miller – Party On 5th Ave (Music Video)

Posted by on October 27, 2011

[do action=”youtube” videoid=”kTZpscid3lg”/]

After hearing the rip of this track after it’s Hot 97 debut on Tuesday, Mac gives MTV the honors of releasing the official video.  This marks the third official single off Mac’s debut album, Blue Slide Park, and I believe it’s produced by E. Dan.  As BIGLIFE was saying the other day, I’m not sure this album is going to live up to it’s hype.  It’s hard to say because Mac’s mixtapes have been absolute gems, which makes me wonder, did he set the bar too high for himself?

I respect the fact that he’s not featuring any other artists on the album, which is extremely rare, especially for a debut album, but judging by what I’ve heard so far I’m slightly disappointed.  Frick Park Market is my favorite of the three tracks released to date and that hook sounds dangerously similar to “Donald Trump”.  I think Mac’s verses on “Blue Slide Park” and “Party On 5th Ave” have been on point, but the hooks are less than I expected.  In Mac’s favor, his single’s always seem to grow on me, so hopefully that’s the case with these.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Blue Slide Park thus far?

Albums, Electro, House, Videos | Kaskade Fire and Ice Album Preview From The Studio

Posted by on October 21, 2011

First the release date on iTunes for “Fire and Ice” has been pushed up to the 24th so the excruciating wait for the album is lessened by a day. This video goes behind the scenes in how certain songs were made and how collaborations such as the Skrillex and Dada Life collabs came about. It is always interesting to see an artist work in the studio and how it all comes together. Pre-order the CD on iTunes HERE, or even better get the physical copy or get it on Beatport on November 8th because iTunes only gives about 10% to the artists.
I have two Halloween songs for you guys from Cazzette and Albin Myers. The first from Cazzette takes vocal samples from the 1980s classic “The Shining” and makes a great heavy electro track. The second is an Albin Myers take on the classic Halloween movie main theme.

For those of you that didn’t catch the news last week, Drake pushed back the date of his sophomore album to November 15th.

Hip-Hop | Accent – Runaround Ft. Kinetics

Posted by on October 13, 2011

I love this old school sound on hip-hop. You don’t even have to follow the lyrics to know who ever is rapping is keeping it real. I did listen to the lyrics though, not really up to date on who Accent is, but I’m feeling the flow he has got going on this beat. Kinetics kills it as always. Love the hook, might be an acquired taste though. I think it’s Kinetics, but don’t hold me to it.
