Telephoned go grunge with Singles, their upcoming free EP inspired by the Cameron Crowe film (and iconic soundtrack) of the same name. Check Sammy and Maggie as they flip Screaming Trees “Nearly Lost You” over a repurposed Ryan Hemsworth beat, turning it into a moody, bittersweet r&b slow jam in the process. Stay tuned for the rest next week…
The people have been clamoring for Funkin Matt’s massive robo voice anthem “I Wish” for months, ever since A-Trak started smashing our Clubhouse stages (and shows around the globe!) with it. Well, wait no more! “I Wish” is out Tuesday, 11/27 on Fool’s Gold, backed by another, equally enormous Funkin Matt original, “Rasp.” Preview them both (along with other FM tracks and current favorites) on this new promo mix the man put together for us.
Want a guest verse from Danny Brown in total fucking beast mode? Of course you do. Peep DB on the already-grimey “Mini Van Dan” remix from A$ton Matthews, also featuring A$AP Nast and Flatbush Zombies. And for more from A$ton, peep his Versace Ragz mixtape.
Jam time! Download the latest installment of A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Radio show on SiriusXM. Download from Trizzy’s Soundcloud or subscribe to the podcast via iTunes.
The latest addition to the Fool’s Gold Records roster is teenage Philly phenom GrandeMarshall. The young MC’s atmospheric, expertly crafted debut mixtape 800 caught the ear of label founders A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, who quickly brought Grande into their FG crew, introducing him onstage at the label’s five-year anniversary party in Brooklyn as the newest signing to the label that’s launched artists from Danny Brown to Duck Sauce to the world at large.
Download GrandeMarshall’s 800 and give a listen to what’s got Fool’s Gold (and early adopters around the globe) so excited. Featuring thoughtfully brash rhymes over production from the likes of DJ Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Dom Kennedy), Silky Johnson (A$AP Mob, Main Attrakionz) and even Grande himself, 800 moves seamlessly from the moody mission statement “Dearly Beloved” to North Philly trunk rattlers “GODBPM” and “NP Shidd,” and heralds the arrival of one of the most exciting new talents in hip hop.
