Lupe Fiasco released the cover art for his wildly anticipated album “Lasers” today via twitter. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover, but this project looks promising. I’ve tried to stay away from the sports scene because I know we have a number of Pat’s fans coming to the site, but I just couldn’t help posting the Jet’s theme song by Consequence. If you’re a fan of NYJ, you’ll dig this track.
DOWNLOAD: Wes Fif – Hometeam (feat. Big K.R.I.T., Cyhi Da Prynce & Dreamer)
MGK recently signed to Interscope so I’m betting his career will take off like a hot stock. If you haven’t given Twista’s white counterpart a shot, now is the time.
DOWNLOAD: Juicy J – Boat Load (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)
This track illustrates Cudi’s wide range of talent, definitely worth a listen.
DOWNLOAD: Bryan Greenberg – You Can Run (feat. Kid Cudi)
Pats fans, sorry. JETS fans, enjoy time to talk shit and conquer the Steelers.
DOWNLOAD: Consequence – J.E.T.S. (Put Your Arms Out)
Again, Pitbull always finds the clubby sounding beats that really hold up tracks.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | HIP-HOP | Curren$y’s “Return To The Winner’s Circle”
Posted by BIGLIFE on January 2, 2011
I wanted to run through this entire mixtape before covering it on FNT. There aren’t any surprises here (unfortunately), just basically what you’d expect from a vet in the game with an album around the corner: solid production with the usual Curren$y chill rap flair. “Return To the Winner’s Circle” is a solid piece of work but I’m still waiting for Curren$y to create a “breakthrough” project – one that really accelerates his career from his current standing. Although he’s holding onto the music world with a strong grip with notable accolades that range from him being a former Young Money artist (you do still remember that song he did with Lil Wayne “Where Da Cash At” , right?), to his 150k+ fans on twitter, I still don’t consider him a huge force in the game. He’s armed with a unique sound and voice, which he utilizes well with smart lyrics, but he’s moving more laterally than he is vertically it seems. Lets put it this way, I’d be nervous to have him headline a show. Anyways, I’ve posted my favorite cuts below… Abridged version: To me this mixtape is more of a buzz maintainer than producer, something to hold us over until he drops his next album.
Curren$y (feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Killa Kyleon) – Moon & Stars (Remix)

Hip-Hop | Split Second – Blood Diamond
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 8, 2010
Let me give you some background on this FNT premier. I decided to pay a visit to the stomping grounds of these up and coming college rappers last month largely due to the fact that the rough cut of this track immediately grabbed my attention. I needed to witness the talents in motion at their makeshift yet professional sounding studio. After clowning on one another for a short while these dudes laid down the following absolutely ill track. If you’ve been searching for something slightly different, yet still within range of your rap comfort zone give this track a shot.

Hip-Hop | K-Young ft. Crooked I- Love Drunk
Posted by Juicebox on September 9, 2010
I promise this is my last post. I just can’t help myself sometimes. K-Young is my favorite undiscovered singer next to Kevin Cossom. His voice is out of this world and he has exceptional range. I’m really out this time. Scouts honor.
Albums | K. Vincent- Feel My Pain
Posted by Juicebox on June 1, 2010
Welcome to the world of K.Vincent, a young emcee hailing from the forgotten but not lost area of Uptown Chicago. It’s the experience of living in the North side neighborhood of Uptown that molds the music and background of K.Vincent’s raps. His topics range from the pressures of grinding to get a bigger slice of the pie to contemplating what to do when a man is staring at his lowest point. Whether you’re a student, boss, or street hustler, you can relate to K. Vincent. Shout out to the big homey Martin. For more tracks, visit K. Vincent’s site here.
