Fool's Gold x Lana Del Rey

This past weekend I was lucky enough to run along side Philly’s come up rapper Grande Marshall.  Grande has just recently signed with Fool’s Gold inc, who threw a party for their new artists signed as well as for their five year anniversary.  So off I was to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to party the night away with performances by Troy Ave, Flosstradamus, Flatbush Zombies, A Trak, Donnis, Nick Catchdubs World’s Fair and Ghostface Killah.  The best part? VIP access! The Music Hall of Williamsburg was full of fans who were lucky enough to actually get in to this free concert, the line was so crazy outside the police had to come clear the block twice, so you can imagine how excited everyone was just to be there listening to live great music.  With free give-aways, water spraying on the audience and the artist crowd surfing while performing, the excitement in the building was crazy!  For those of you who don’t know what Fool’s Gold is, it is a Brooklyn based record label founded in 2007.  Fool’s Gold brings together the worlds of hip-hop and electronic music and is growing quickly!

I’m always on the look-out for different kinds of music from artists that push the limits and that without a doubt is Lana Del Rey.  Lana’s a singer songwriter from New York, with a indie-pop, alternative and sadcore style, though you may have most recently seen her singing in H&M’s newest commercials.  Her second studio album Born to Die featured great songs like “Blue Jeans” , where she talks about her love for a man whose chasing his dreams while her dream is him, and “National Anthem” where she created a 60’s style video featuring A$AP Rocky as the President.  Her style is, what I would call, a creepy mix of dark twisted music but songs you won’t want to stop listening to.  She’s dropping a edition of Born to Die titled Born to Die The Paradise Edition on November 13^thfeaturing her new track Ride.  The video is a 10 minute mini movie of a girl who finds love in all the strangers she meets. You should have an open mind while watching it; below is the video!

Queen Bey will be performing for the Superbowl in February! I’ve had the privilege of seeing Beyonce perform before and it was no short of amazing.  It is finally time for a timeless artist of our generation to perform at the halftime event and I can’t wait!
