We’ve teamed up with VFILES and MTV for VFILES LOUD!, a new program to discover the best up and coming musicians around the globe. Unsigned artists can submit tracks in a variety of genres (pop, electronic, R&B, rock, and hip-hop) through the VFILES LOUD! website and have them judged by a board of mentors (including MTV programmers, stylists, and a lil guy named A-Trak). The best submission wins an official release on Fool’s Gold, a VFILES-directed music video, a worldwide TV premier on MTV, and a party with all of us to celebrate. Hit vfiles.com/LOUD and get cracking! Read More
Sketchers! Painters! Sculptors! Muppeteers! We’re lookin for ya. It’s always a treat seeing how fans interpret the Fool’s Gold fam in their own artwork, from the countless Danny Brown tattoos out in the world to that one time a girl drew A-Trak out of ketchup. So to kick things up a notch, we’ve decided to officially showcase the best each week on #FGFanArt Fridays.
Post your work on Instagram and Tumblr with the #FGFanArt tag. We will highlight our favorites each Friday on the Fool’s Gold Instagram and Tumblr accounts, and at the end of the month we’ll send out a FG prize pack to the coolest submission of the bunch. Get crackin!
