This short piece sums up the story of +FE, as well as incorporating live show footage, candid interviews and behind the scenes footage of Phonte, Nicolay, YahZarah, and the rest of the +FE Music family. For anyone wanting to get hip to the music and story of The Foreign Exchange, this video is the perfect entry point. Thanks so much for your support.." - Phonte

Take A Listen Rundown

Yea, so here's a combination of this for the first time since I've been off my game a lil. LehGo!

First up is the official video for Ski Beatz "Blue And Green" featuring Nesby Phips from the upcoming Miles Davis project from the producer. Ski Beatz's is a pretty damn well known producer in the game outta NC (I'm proud to say) and has been makin major moves. He jus released 24 Hour Karate School not too long ago which I heard is a banger (I need to get my hands on it myself). He's been doin a lot of work with Curren$y and his Jets team lately and that continues here. This particular track has a jazz feel to it (which I love) as you might expect with it coming off the Miles Davis project. Check it out.

Next up is Cymarshall Law & The Beatnikz with "Almost Home" off Freedom Express Line which is out now. This one is up in the air even with me. It could grow on me though I feel with a few listens. You be the judge for yourself.

Next up is a post that probably should have it's own post but a lot of y'all may not really know the man on the boards for this one (which is sad lol). It's the official video for Statik Selektah and Termanology's "Never Gonna" from their upcoming self-titled album due out October 26th. Oh yea, that self-title is 1982 jus in case you ain't kno (that's them as a "group"). Vibe wit it.

The official video for Yelawolf's "Wanna Party" featuring Gucci Mane is up next. The track is from his upcoming album Trunk Muzik: 0-60 due out this November. Yelawolf recently gained sum buzz when he performed a cypher on the BET Hip Hop Awards and raised sum eyebrows. Well Big Boi brought him in to the game so you kinda know what to expect from this guy. This song might grow on me and if it does it'll only be the third song with Gucci in it that I've eva liked. What u think?

NC makes a stand again next with Big Remo's video for "The Game (Tre-4)/ Livin’ It Up" featuring Ricky Ruckus. I'm pretty sure this is an all Tre-4 (Winston Salem) line up with 9th Wonder on the beat. Remo jus released an album or mixtape (I'm not sure which or the title and too lazy to research rite now)  with 9th's It's A Wonderful World Music Group if you happen to want sum more after this.

Next up, Ced Hughes with "Vitals / Nitefalls" from the Margarine EP slated to be coming soon. Don't kno much about this guy at all. Really first time I've heard of em', but he make a pretty good first impression and if in nuthin else at least in production. He is wearin a Panthers cap in the video but iono if that means anything? Anyway, wat u think?

Now we have TiRon's official video for "Down" from his MSTRD project out now. I was introduced to this guy on a track wit PacDiv a while bak and he held it down. I'm assuming he's outta Cali and well when you feel down you can def relate to the story/feelings told in this song. Might have to check Mustard or I should say MSTRD out.

Chris Barz is next with "Dreamers" featuring Jesse Boykins III. Kno nuthing about this guy either but it's a kinda inspirational song. Follow ur dreams people.

Last up is more caucasian persuasion with the official video for Machine Gun Kelly's "Cleveland" off his upcoming Lace Up album. Obviously he's from Cleveland, Ohio. BOW!

Drift Away Wit Ab-Soul

Ab-Soul comes at you with his track "Drift Away" and jus gives us sum real life situations on chasin women. I'm sure a lot of guys can relate and the track is jus pretty dope period.

Then & Now

So all hip hop heads remember this great song: "Scenario" by A Tribe Called Quest.



Well Ras Kass and sum friends got together and made a "Scenario 2012". I don't  think it lives up to the original but to each's own u kno.


Ras Kass – Scenario 2012 (feat. Planet Asia, Phil The Agony, Krondon, Montage 1, Mistah F.A.B. & Chino XL)

Too West Coast?

Here's the official video for Ice Cube's "Too West Coast" featuring Maylay & WC from his I Am The West album in stores now.

Take A Listen

So both of these are kinda made by the production but try em out anyway.

First up is an artist by the name of Dramills with his official music video for "Man Down" by off his new project, Hood Talk Est.1981 available now. Check him out.



Second is L.E.P. Bogus Boys with "Goin’ In For The Kill". These videos actually pretty dope though so props for that.

Jones Can't Wait

Honestly, I can't wait for this guy to make it too. Jones Andrews continues his Thirty-Two Tuesdays grind and drops some bars over Ne-Yo's "Champagne Life" instrumental. And his grind continues. Click the art work to jump over refined hype and catch the track.

Take A Listen

Up first is Ced Hughes with "Top Priority". Vid/Song's kinda short and the beat's pretty dope with the Mos Def sample, so hear em out and see if you feel it.




Next we've got Kendrick Lamar with "Heaven & Hell" off his O.D. (Overly Dedicated) mixtape. I think the mixtape's on an exclusive iTunes release and Kendrick been makin sum noise in the game. He's def one to look out for. This visual will seem a lil odd watchin it but the quote at the end kinda wraps up the vision for you.




Lastly on this post we've got the official video for Meyhem Lauren's "Got The Fever" from their Clarified Butters mixtape out now. The graffiti in this video is what really got me to post it, but the songs not to bad either. lol Check it out.

Got Love For Em & Wayne

Eminem and Lil' Wayne have hooked up once again for the track "No Love" off of Em's Recovery album which is already double platinum. The videos pretty dope but the songs jus alrite to me. To each's own though rite.

Wait a Minute!?

Ok, so I'm jus browsin videos as I always do and I run across this video for a track called "I Like It" by Al Be Back ft. DMC. Correct me if I'm wrong but ain't that the same guy from ATL!? You kno, who played Brooklyn, T.I.'s friend wit da cast? Sumbody give me sum feedback please!

Take A Listen

This artist goes by Ameer and his track's called "Honestly". It's his first offering from Only Built For Digital Links set to be released on October 16th. Seems like he's still got sum progressin to do but I think you can hear the potential in him.

Y'all Know

Ice Cube's been shellin out videos for tracks off his I Am The West album which is out now and recently dropped the video for "Y'all Know How I Am" featuring Doughboy, OMG, WC and Young Maylay. I wonder if this is all bangin on the west coast? Cube gets much respect, the west is in a movement to take the hip hop scene back over and are comin with sum strong talent. Cube is def tryna lead the charge.

Jones' Irony

Jones Andrews has been keepin up with his 32 Tuesdays promise while I been slackin off. lol Yesterday he released "The Irony" where he lays sum bars over the "All I Want Is You" track from Miguel and his bars are well. . .ironic. Check the art work to jump over to the track and you can catch up on all of Andrews' bars on Tuesdays while your over at Refined Hype.

Kurupt Says He's Still The Man

Kurupt recently released his video for  "I'm The Man" feat. J. Black & Jah Free and I think it's a pretty tight cut. Iono how much love Kurupt's still gettin on the west coast or anywhere but I still respect the big homie. Check it out.

"Tales From The Tape" Episode 4

Skyzoo & !llmind are set to drop Live From The Tape Deck on Oct. 5 and I'm seriously lookin forward to it. Take a glimpse into Skyzoo's mind and !llmind interviews him on what he was thinkin goin into the project. People say hip hop is dead. It's a digital age people. I say you jus ain't lookin hard enough. Gotta go beyond the radio.
