Gaines drops a new song and video to hold people over until the release of The Night Crawler: Reloaded on August 28th. This one features YouTube sensation Lil Crazed who recently broke 40 million views on his channel, pretty impressive. Aside from the video, Gaines just got back from a trip to Chicago where he linked up with upcoming artist, Chance The Rapper. Be on the lookout for that track when it drops because it’s guaranteed to be hot!

Dubstep, Trap | Minnesota – Hold Up (Minnesota VIP)

Posted by on July 3, 2012

Minnesota has made some of my favorite remixes. This newest work from him is a VIP remix/mashup. Mashing together Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode” and Minnesota’s “Hold Up.” This VIP is awesome. Minnesota has been playing at a lot of his live shows and the feed back on it has been nothing short of incredible.

Minnesota has also stated that once he reaches 20k likes on Facebook he will release the VIP of his remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Starry Eyed,” which the original remix is provided below.

As many of you know Radical Something just recently finished off the No Sweat Spring Tour. I was fortunate enough to kick it with the guys for a couple days during their stop in Minneapolis, MN where we filmed this exclusive interview. I talked with the guys about a ton of stuff from how they got the Radical name to the craziest thing a Rad Fan has done. Check out the interview and don’t forget Radical Something is dropping a new song every Monday for the next 10 weeks! If you missed the first two releases you can get those here!

Featured, Hip-Hop, Interviews, Videos | On The Spot Interview with Hoodie Allen [FNT Exclusive]

I caught up with Hoodie Allen in Minneapolis, MN and took a few minutes to give him my “On The Spot” interview. Hoodie was definitely a good match for this style, all his answers were thoughtful and more than a simple yes or no. Aside from the interview, the show was amazing and I was surprised at how many people came out. If it wasn’t sold-out it was definitely very close. He puts on a awesome performance and has a band with him to rock out. I thought it was cool that he covered multiple popular radio hits that everyone knew the words to. That way if your friend had you come along and familiar with much of his music, you could still sing along. The remainder of this tour in the US is sold-out, but for those in the UK and Ireland you can still get tickets here.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Kid Ink while he was performing in Minneapolis, MN. I hit him with my “On The Spot” interview to see what kind of responses I would get.
