The social phenomenon known as “creepin‘ ” – i.e. having a liaison with someone who is already taken – inherently has a certain element of danger to it, but few people would argue that it can bring actual bodily harm. Fat Tony seems to disagree. Although he himself isn’t scared per se, the texture of the production is haunting, turning a little thrill into something more foreboding . When Fat Tony and his special lady get caught in the act, he laughs, but you won’t. Produced by Tom Cruz (who also provides some vocals) and featuring Stunnaman, “Creepin’,” is creepy. Be careful out there, y’all.

Fat Tony’s album Smart Ass Black Boy, is out on June 11th via Young One Records. Stay tuned.

Young One Records put on a stacked showcase of hip-hop up and comers Wednesday night at 285 Kent. Squadda Bambino and Mondre Man, better known as the crazy California duo, Main Attraktionz, shared the stage with North Carolina newcomer Deniro Farrar. Deniro was spitting tracks all night off his new collaborative mix tape with Shady Blaze, KOBK – Kill or be Killed, including Fallen Soldier, a song produced with Main Attraktionz. The CMJ crowd was full of loyal rap fans waiting to hear the new debut album from Squadda B and Mondre, Bossalinis & Fooliyones. Deniro closed to the set with his most popular beats, Genesis a Grimes remix by Deniro’s producer buddy Ryan Hemsworth, but the crowd stormed the stage for Look at the Sky, Deniro’s new cut with hip-hop electric duo Flosstradamus. With Supreme Cuts, Sasha Go Hard, Heems, and Kool A.D. rounding out the showcase, the night turned out to be a dope party of new hip-hops finest.
