Flipsyde may be a new name to some, but they’re no noobs on the scene.  The Oakland trio have been carving their niche in the alternative hip-hop/rock market for close to ten years, gaining a lot of their popularity from extreme sports fans and athletes.  Personally, I first found out about these guys about 5 years ago and would loop their album while I was shredding semi-fresh pow pow.  They were signed to Interscope for several years but recently broke out of their contract and are once again independent.  If you’re feeling this track and want some of their older material, hit me on Twitter @Grubeats and I’ll share the goods.

I slipped on this short new track YONAS dropped to tip off the new year.  YONAS has been in constant rotation on MTVU with his video for “Sky Kidz” and has also been electrifying crowds while on tour with The White Panda and Timeflies. XXL Freshman 2013?

Chiddy throws a verse on 2am Club’s alternative/pop tune, “Every Evening”.  Not a huge surprise after the two toured together in the fall.

Ricky Rozay grunts his way onto this remix of Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars “Mirror”.  The original served as a bonus cut off of Tha Carter IV, but has seen it’s fair share of radio play.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | YONAS – Time Is Now (’09 Freestyle)

Posted by on November 29, 2011

YONAS, YONAS, YONAS, stop killin’ em!   “Y/O” recently came across this old freestyle from back in 2009 that he decided to release to the fans.  Some artists are born with a gift, YONAS is one of those artists.  With an ability to compose meaningful music, YONAS’ resume is longer than most of you probably expect.  While his name is just beginning to really catch wind, his music stretches back over the last 3 or 4 years…and it’s all good.

“Now n***** gettin’ signed and they ain’t got a buzz, if it got a buzz they don’t do it for the love, if they do it for the love it won’t fit up in the club, this is where the whole game got f’d up, the psychology is to get the dollar to jump, but every dollar we get we give out honesty up” – YONAS

Hip-Hop, Videos | YONAS – Pumped Up Kicks (Music Video)

Posted by on November 1, 2011

YONAS drops the glocks and brings the kids on set, armed and ready with super soakers, for his remix of “Pumped Up Kicks”.  I’ve said it before, but this is hands down the best remix of Foster The People’s smash hit, “Pumped Up Kicks”.  One of the most treasured sneaker’s of all time have definitely got their use as of late, but YONAS ensured he only dusted off his old pair for this one special occasion.  It’s not often YONAS drops a video, but when he does, he makes it count.  It still boggles my mind how he hasn’t completely blown up yet.

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 | YONAS – Pumped Up Kicks (Remix) ft. Foster The People

Posted by on September 15, 2011

I realize YONAS hasn’t been a regular feature here on FNT, but I’m going to do my best to change that.  I’ve been following the Bronx, NY MC for quite some time now and he continually delivers quality music.  YONAS, no acronym, but rather his birth name, owns distinct flow, powerful lyrics, and a great voice.  It’d be overwhelming for me to post all the past fire tracks YONAS has delivered, so I’ll give you guys small dosages every time he drops some new material.

Although this track is a bit dated and has been worked pretty hard on the remix front, YONAS maintains the quality without dumbing it down.  Keeping the original hook done by Foster The People, YONAS adds his two verses for a nice n’ smooth remix.

“I took a song by Foster The People and forced it into YONAS’ anthem”
