Sometimes when Timeflies in front of your eyes, you need to stop, look around, and take it all in. Surrealism. With the lead single off their 100% original, One Night EP, Cal and Rez embrace the moment and ask for One Night. With all things considered, is that really too much to ask for?

Drumroll please….
Although the dudes have been busy living the tour life as of late, another highly anticipated EP is right around the corner from Timeflies. Chris Brown may have made “Don’t Wake Me Up” relevant in pop culture, but like many others, Cal and Rez made this song their own. Transforming the club heater into a baby making anthem, Cal lays his emotions into his vocals like I’ve never heard before. The One Night EP will be available for iTunes presale on 11/19 followed by the release of an album promo video on the 20th, while the project will hit digital shelves on the following Tuesday, 11/27. Prepare to enter ecstasy.

[First off, I’d like to apologize to everyone for the lack of hip-hop delivered by myself over the last couple weeks. One of those times when the “real job” takes priority over the “dream job”. I’ve highlighted some of the tracks I’ve missed lately, so although they may be a bit late, they all need to be heard. Hope you enjoy. – Grubeats]
Mid tour, Timeflies deliver the latest episode of The Clockumentary. Welcome to the show.
West Coast prodigy, Kendrick Lamar is busy tending to the media as they boast the beauty of his first studio album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city, released today under Top Dawg Ent, Interscope, and Aftermath. Grab the album on iTunes or head to your local Target and pick up a physical copy of the deluxe edition. This is one of those albums you’ll show your kids one day (when they’re old enough).

Feeling froggy once again, Tayyib drops off another loose track featuring fellow Philly-via-Flint native, Gilbere Forte, for a stunt worthy cruising track. With a Nintendo inspired beat crafted by 2Astronauts, this is the type of track I’ve been waiting to hear from Tay.

Newcomer Nick Ingram lets go a Cuey laced feature entitled, “This Moment”, which is featured on his brand new free album, Chrome Roses.

While Seattle’s fan base is currently captivated by the success of Macklemore, young preacher, Sol, continues to release very impressive and insightful music. Amidst his journey in East Africa, Sol continues to write and even record overseas, delivering a new perspective in his music. Enjoy this one and expect another album coming from the Zilla early in 2013 (hopefully).

I introduced Devine Carama to FNT a couple weeks back with his final single, “White Girl Lost”, before the release of his mixtape, It Was Rewritten (A Nas Tribute). As if the mixtape wasn’t enough, Carama lets loose an additional track, “ADHD Flow”, that reinforces his lyrical artillery.

KURT has impressed me over and over with his freestyles and remixes over some of the hottest industry hits. Although this one isn’t hot off the vinyl, I don’t believe it has received the credit it deserves. With that being said, enjoy this rendition of “Diced Pineapples”.

Freestyle, Videos | Timeflies: Episode 6 – Freestyle [The Clocumentary]

Far too often an artists “freestyles” are not actually freestyles. While this art was founded off the skill of improvising over any given beat, far too often pre-written verses create a deceptive impression of the select artists’ capabilities. Typically, you can tell if an artist is rattling off a pre-written verse, or if they’re spitting completely off the dome, but sometimes artists will mix pre-written bars with threads of free’s. Cal, of Timeflies, is one young artist who actually “freestyles” when he claims to be. The latest episode of The Clocumentary features Cal’s rare abilities to ad-lib whatever topics are being fed to him. We all know, nothing gets a party or a live show going like a live freestyle. Cal, props to you my friend.

For this week’s Timeflies Tuesday, we get a great behinds the scenes look at what goes on in Cal and Rez’s life. They talk about their music, their organic growth, their fans, and their history. As someone who has been listening to Timeflies since their first ever Tuseday(represent), I couldn’t be more inspired and awed by what they have done. Shouts to their manager Jared, for the early tip on this, and for making a cameo in the video.
In addition, Cal and Rez have released the official Timeflies Music iPhone App! Fully integrated with a custom Timeflies Twitter stream, exclusive music and videos, every Timeflies Tuesday at your finger tips, streams and links to purchase all of their music, as well as the latest news, tour dates and locations, fully equipped with a map to tell you how far you’ll have to travel to catch the fellas live!

When life gives you lemons, squeeze them. When life gives you an uncanny ability to make music, apply that talent to a great cause. That is just what Timeflies have decided to do. Tonight at 10:10pm EST, Timeflies will be putting on an online benefit concert dedicated to the Travis Roy Benefit Foundation.
The Travis Roy Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the life of individuals with spinal cord injuries and their families by providing adaptive equipment and to finding a cure through increased funding of research, resulting in self-reliance and the ability to be as independent as possible.
Although tickets are almost sold out, rush over to their site to purchase tickets for tonight’s exclusive show!

Pop, Videos | Timeflies – Sleep Forever [Music Video]

While we’re all still recovering from last weeks #UnderTheInfluence hangover, Timeflies refuses to give us a break, delivering us the full video which they teased us with last week. Sampling Portugal. The Man’s indie rock track, “Sleep Forever”, this one will help soothe the bass poisoning we were succumbed to while listening to 4 of the other 5 tracks off the mixtape. Once again a great visual work put together by the entire Timeflies team, this time reflecting work of director Dan Gotti, who certainly wasn’t opposed to filling his screen with a cast of young dimes.
Once you’ve copped the mixtape, don’t forget to grab your tickets early for their end of summer/fall shows HERE!
