GFM Fam a great voice in Hip Hop is out with a new EP and we really think you should scroll down and hit that play button and tell someone if they don’t know about J.Nolan. The set consists of 5 songs, completely produced by Reese Jones. Reese is an 18 year-old producer from Virginia Beach, VA and is currently attending Howard University. The EP was completed in a span of about 9 days which just goes to show with the vibe and the players are right it doesn’t always take long to produce a quality production.
GFM Fam in preparation for the “Love Month” we wanted to take some time out today to post this video from friend to GFM PC Muñoz. PC is kicking off February with a new free single, “I LOVE YOU”. A love note to a weary world. I’m launching the video this week,(which PC has so kindly decided to share with the GFM Fam first) and the free download becomes available on Valentine’s Day 2012.
PC writes: It just takes a second or two of your day, to turn to a friend or a stranger and say I Love You. The expression of love from one to another costs nothing and yet it is a need that is often not met as much as our material wants. The Art-Funk of PC Muñoz has made the clarion call through a mantra that I think would do us all some good to repeat to ourselves and others just a little bit more each day.

GFM Fam we wanted to take some time out today and put you on to the sound of Detroiter Eliza Neals Eliza is slated to release her latest full-length project Messin With a Fool this month. For the recording Eliza Neals sought out the unique talents of veteran writer/producer Martin ‘Tino’ Gross (Kid Rock, RL Burnside) and united him with Detroit legend Barrett Strong (Marvin Gaye, Temptations) to begin provocative recording sessions. Eliza’s “strangely sultry blues voice” and cool writing style melted with the two masters forging a solid union. (more…)
