Fool's Gold Records' frontman A-trak just released the highly anticipated video for his single Piss Test. The track was originally released with only Juicy J and Danny Brown providing vocals, however upon its re-release on the Foolie's Mixtape Jim Jones, Flatbush Zombies, and El-P added versus while Flosstradamus added some trap to the beat. Check out the official video below:
A-Trak's "Piss Test" has been remixed, because the original featuring Juicy J and Danny Brown apparently was not wild enough. Jim Jones, Flatbush Zombies, El-P and Flosstradamus hop on for the very intoxicated and "trippy" remix. The whole track is nuts, but El-P's fury on the last verse makes everyone else look like amateurs. Check the video below. This is a part of the Fools Gold rap compilation, Loosies , which is available now. Read more articles like " A-Trak - "Piss Test" (Remix) f. Juicy [...]

Following the death of Beastie Boys co-founder Adam Yauch, producer Tommie Sunshine made a heavy statement via Twitter : "I believe atrak is the only one who is truly capable to make the definitive beastieboys tribute." The statement not only sheds lights on the Fool's Gold co-founder's knowledge of hip-hop, developed during his time as an award-winning turntablist, but his ability to redefine that genre for a new generation of hip-hop heads. Although that tribute disc has yet to come to fruition, A-Trak is spreading his love of underground hip-hop with the lengthy Loosies collection. Curated alongside fellow Fool's [...]
And just like that, another year is in the books. I think we're all happy the world didn't end on the 21st, if for no other reason than that this list gets to be presented to the public. AlbatRoss and I have worked on compiling the perfect wrap-up list for 2012 in hip-hop and we'll be breaking it down in 4 stages of 20. We had 2 guidelines we stuck to in compiling this list: 1) it had to be rap (meaning no R&B - Frank Ocean and Miguel had killer years but they won't be found on this list) [...]

Out today is the celebratory compilation from Fool's Gold , Loosies . That's right, Fool's Gold is five years young right now; what better way to stunt than to drop a massive, 22-track compilation featuring the likes of Danny Brown , Action Bronson , Freeway , Freddie Gibbs , Casey Veggies , Flatbush Zombies , and plenty more!? They've thrown the full project up for stream (including the mix that A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs did of the entire project), which you can preview below; cop the project [...]
Various Artists - Loosies Fool's Gold Records: 2012 Fool’s Gold Records began as an indie hip-hop/electronic label in the worst sense of that definition. They introduced artists like Kid Sister and Kid Cudi to the music world, musicians who used the hip-hop genre as a placemat for far less complex or interesting ideas of their own. Go back and listen to “Day N Night” and you’ll hear a man with a head much too big for his shoulders, attempting to redefine music he doesn’t seem to really understand very well in the first place.

CHECK!!! The Adderall Admiral has become one of the most fascinating non-mainstream artists of the past few years. Like many young/new rappers, Danny Brown took the post-Hot Boyz Lil’ Wayne template and flooded the Internet with music. But where many just over-saturate the market with redundant and half-assed work, Danny sounds like it’s the last time he’s going to get the opportunity to rap on a song; an urgency within every bar. Sure his charisma—the hair, the fashion sense, the freaky tales of drugs and sex—add to his persona as a rapper. But that’s all just the window dressing. Beneath [...]

How do you take a big, unapologetic drug anthem and turn it up a few notches? Well, you could always do more drugs, but we can't recommend that. Another route: enlist Flosstradamus , Jim Jones , Flatbush Zombies , and El-P to jump on a tremendous trap beat and rap about drugs. A-Trak does exactly that on the "Piss Test" remix. Juicy J 's simple, memorable chorus remains, but the new guests replace the verses from Juice and Danny Brown . Would've been nice to get a new Danny verse, [...]

From the Fool's Gold comp that's coming out next week, come's a remix of one of the jams of the year. Jim Jones, Flatbush Zombies, and El-P jump on the track with Juicy J and the whole thing is re-cut by Flosstradamus. Do I wish that Danny Brown had been kept on the track? Obviously. But El-P brings it in his place, and I might even prefer this mix. Check it out below. A-Trak - Piss Test feat. Juicy J, Jim Hones, Flatbush Zombies, El-P, Flosstradamus(Remix) posted by: @Shoemosher
We've already given a round down of our favorite artwork and music videos of 2012, and now we're diving into our choices for the best songs of the past year. To be blunt, we loved a lot of singles in the past 12 months from across the genresphere, though hip-hop and its off-shoots remain the backbone of our selections. For example, Baauer 's "Harlem Shake" most certainly isn't rap music, but the genre's influence breathes through the floor-shaking bass and synthesizers. As such, we didn't want to throw all 100 songs at [...]

L'attente touche à sa fin ! La première compilation rap du label Fool's Gold intitulée Loosies sort le 18 décembre prochain avec ses petites surprises griffées A-Trak et Nick Catchdubs.
