1. Emynd “To All My Haters”
A pretty simple and traditional track with a lot of bass and a menacing synth line. I rocked the most memorable line from Shawty Lo’s “Dey Know” (“…to all my Haters!”) and added a silly “F*ck you!” chant but this is by no means a “Dey Know” remix–it’s a whole new song. So far, this ish has worked really well in the club alongside a lot of the more aggressive Bmore that a lot of us already play. People love yelling “F*ck you!” apparently. Obviously, this track is really Mike Mumbles and Say Wut inspired.
3. Emynd “Philly 2 Bmore”
Another track that is influenced greatly by the stuff Mike Mumbles and Say Wut are doing with chopped and pitched vocal samples. The “Philadelphia” and “Baltimore” samples are from “Dancing In the Street” and I just thought it was kind’ve a cool concept to bring this EP together (CONCEPTUAL BMORE, SON!). The middle parts are real traditional and simple with the Lil Jon “What!” sample, the dick beat, and the chopped Nina Simone break, but we all know that simple Bmore ish often knocks the hardest.
4. Emynd “Oogum Boogum Theme”
I love Bmore soul remixes and wanted to make sure this EP had one. My big homies Brendan Bringem and Pandemonium Jones had the OG Brenton Woods song on a soul mix they did and that immediately gave me the idea for this song. I didn’t love this song at first, but my dude Starkey who mixed and mastered it spent a lot of time on it and actually made me like it a lot more by doing a phenomenal job with it. He’s highly recommended if you’re looking for Mixing and/or Mastering work (www.starkey-music.com).
5. Emynd “Smalltown Chavy Boy”
I’ve been meaning to make a Bmore remix of Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy” forever but only got around to it recently. I wanted this to be structurally and aesthetically similar to Scottie B’s “London Wild.” This joint has pretty good crossover appeal for the more Hipster audience but still sounds good in a more traditional Bmore set as well.
7. Emynd “Back At Your Ass”
A really simple but effective song. It doesn’t sound like much on your computer speakers or in your bedroom, but everytime I play this joint out, it gets a really good reaction. Again, I think the effectiveness is found in its simplicity. I have a tendency to really over-produce stuff and just keep adding stuff until my ish is muddled and somewhat incomprehensible, but this is simple and it works.
8. Emynd “Urgent Party Break”
I’m not sure how useful this is in a party situation, but I’ve always loved this synth line (I know it from DJ Laz’s “Stick Out Your Butt” but I’m not sure if it originates there or is from an older electro song) and wanted to make a barebones, Bmore-inspired party break out of it. It’s more 4 on the floor with hints of Bmore and Miami Bass drum elements. I’m into it.
