Here’s an interesting concept. Take an instrumental and rap over it for a remix. Then take the acapella and change up the beat. It’s an entirely new song, completely independent of the original. But it wasn’t made that way. I gotta say this remix of the AOK collective’s Incredible Freestyle definitely feels like an upgrade [...]
I’ve been real excited about this project since it was first announced. And Mickey did a great job of keeping the project mysterious until yesterday when he dropped it. So I can honestly say, I didn’t know what to expect from this project. But even with all my speculations, I wasn’t expecting something this well [...]
Mickey Factz and aSmash commandeer the beat for KanYe’s Two Words and take it to a whole new level of dope. I don’t know if I would say it’s better than the original, but it definitely has a different, more laid back vibe that allows you to focus in on the vocals a little more [...]
Mickey quietly announced his upcoming album Alpha (dropping New Year’s Day) but it has already been picking up a lot of buzz around the net. To quiet some people down and get others talking even more, the GFCNY blog dropped this track. The track uses the beat from Jay Electronica’s Exhibit A. Mickey definitely gets [...]
For a relatively new producer on the scene, Jet Audio seems very confident in his sound–and with good reason. Mixing a 90s renaissance style with a futuristic flair, Jet Audio produces a sound that’s simultaneously as relaxing as a slow jam and as enthralling as a Beethoven piece. From the hypnotic vocal sample on “Lose [...]
One of GFC’s lesser known members is putting out his autiobiographical mixtape to help you get better acquainted. Well, it’s nice to meet you Stalley. You’ve got the only beard in hip hop to rival Freeway. And your mixtape is refreshingly good. Stalley tells you all about who he is over a large variety of [...]
The Kid Daytona is one of NYC’s finest up and coming MCs. And if my co-sign doesn’t do enough for you, then peep the guest list from his new album Come Fly With Me. Bun B, 6th Sense, Double O, Amanda Diva, Outasight, Kardinal Offishall, Mickey Factz, and others comprise the veritable who’s who of [...]
Bobby Ray, aka the artist known as B.o.B. just dropped a mixtape where he examines the different sides of his musical spectrum. I met him not too long ago, and can attest to the fact that he’s a real cool guy. And he definitely has an appreciation for a WIDE variety of music. And he [...]
Quite frankly, I’m surprised this album didn’t get as much attention as it should have. Its definitely a bigger project and should have been on a lot more radars. I really like Machine Drum’s sound. He has a distinct style that blends IDM and hip-hop with a number of well-placed glitches. He’s also been heavily [...]
“MadStalley: The Autobiography is the tale of Stalley’s journey from Massillon Ohio to NYC featuring reworkings of Madlib’s Shades of Blue as well as outside production from J Rawls, Precize, Brian Auger and Ahmad Jamal. Label and features to be determined.” Sounds dope to me. Getting on Madlib joints, and bringing Mickey Factz with you [...]
