Despite half the industry dropping “Drug Raps” on the daily, the Houdini-like Corey Gunz unpacks this menacing brick of straight bars, which serves as a sequel to the uncut OG from his 2009 Gangsta Grillz tape. Read the rest of this entry »

If you happen to be stuck in a potentially sticky situation this weekend, where you’re alone with two fine females who may or may not be open to new things, forget the hesitation and avoid being completely blatant, by playing Far East Movement’s new video for “2 Is Better.” Read the rest of this entry »

For anyone still doubting the clout of a major label push, please see our post from July 17, “Fly East Movement Is Superior.” In the approximately three months since this post, a lot has changed for the then-relatively unknown, genre-jumping pop group. Their music video for “Fly Like A G6” has translated from a YouTube hit to a top ten record on Billboard, and – in a time when locking down release dates can even be tough for certain genre’s biggest artists – this party posse got an October 12th drop date for their coming out bash, Free Wired.

And now, also because of corporate connections at Interscope, they have a song with Snoop Dogg. No need to explain. If you’re aware of the type of music these FM boys make, and you can vibe accordingly, then all adding Tha Doggfather is gonna do is make you hit play faster.

I’m putting it out there: Far East Movement might be my new favorite group of 2010.

Since being engulfed by their anti-sobriety anthem “Fly Like A G6″ the other night during an uncharacteristic trip to the discotheque, this surprisingly-under-the radar-group has become my new Chromeo, circa 2007. An unlikely pairing of musicians, in this case three unassuming Asian rappers who make some of the most fun music on the market, who happen to swoop in and fulfill every and any urge to groove my body requires with one single song.

And, if the bouncy bass of “G6″s private plane party wasn’t enough, further research has opened the floodgates for more scorchers like “Girls On The Dance Floor” and “Dance Like Michael Jackson.”

Obviously geared for slutty chicks and red-plastic-cup-holders in general, the homies might give you a side eye for listening to these blatant Black Eyed Peas wannabes, but the truth of the matter is hese beats are killing most making the rounds on radio. Hook this three-man factory of future funk up with someone like Flo-Rida or Akon and the hits would be writing themselves.

Listen to these guys before you hate them. You will not regret it.
