The first great rap song I’ve heard in 2009. I know we’re only like a week in, but hot damn this song is absolutely incredible. Follow homie on Twitter or check his myspace.
In the mean time, hit up the always great Blvd St and cop this song and super big thanks to CB Rap for putting me up on dude. Sooo damn good.

Saw this posted on the hollerboard and was momentarily terrified. Was expecting a horrible Blog House remix that updated this classic House song into something unbearably Bass-heavy and predictably formatted like “UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ (music drops out)… FUNK DAT! (bass drops) WAMPY WAMP WAMP WAAAHMP WAAHMP.” Thankfully, it’s a really tasteful update of the song with some more relevant but equally hilarious lyrics. Highly recommended!
Check out Oh Snap!! on myspace and he should have some new stuff up on Beatport soon.

A BUNCH OF R&B
DOWNLOAD (192 kps)
This month, I (Emynd) wanted to make a mix of some of the new-ish R&B I’ve been into so I could listen to it on my just-long-enough-to-be-annoying drive to work every day. Some of it is cheesy, some of it is sappy, some of it is HARD, and some of it is guilty pleasure steez, but whatever… I fux with this stuff. Serg will hate this, but you shouldn’t. Mostly done in one-take with a bit of editing here and there to clean up some stuff. I scratched a little bit too much in parts because I got all ADD while doing this in one-take, so sorry about that. Anyway, enjoy!

The fine folks at Unruly got a certified top 40 hit on their hands.
If you haven’t heard DJ Class’s incredible “I’m the Sh*t” yet, let me first of all put you on to this amazing song with some SERIAL top 40 potential and also scold Philly radio for being so effing far behind the curve on this one. For those that don’t know Class is one of the OG Bmore Club heads responsible for some of your favorite Bmore Club joints that you know all the words to but have no idea who it is. “EAST SIDE WHERE THE F*CK YOU AT! LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS UP!” Yeah, that’s DJ Class. And “Stop Snitchin’?” Yeah, that’s DJ Class, too. Everyone in Philly knows these songs, and yet somehow, Class’s new joint is not getting any radio love while it’s getting played in Bmore, Atlanta, New York, and even LA. THIS SONG IS GETTING PLAYED 3,000 MILES FROM HERE, BUT NOT IN PHILLY?! The old guard that govern “urban” radio in Philly refuses to break songs like this, instead choosing to force-feed the new 50 Cent down our throat instead of supporting some homegrown regional music that speaks directly to the youth of this region. Sure, dudes will go ahead and play this song in a couple weeks after it’s blown up all across the country, but there is a local, regional audience that LOVES Club and Party Music here in Philly, but the DJs on the radio all but ignore it except for the 10-15 minutes a week where they do the exact same ol’ Club Music/Party Music set they’ve been doing since 2004. It’s absolutely pathetic. And these are the same dudes that wonder why we don’t have a strong regional identity? Yeah, maybe Club and Party Music isn’t the regional identity you WANT to exist around these parts, but the truth of the matter is, this type of music is popular among the urban youth of Philly and part of the reason that radio sucks so much in Philly is because the folks that run the radio refuses to treat this place like it has any regional identity. The same damn 20 songs have been in rotation for the past 7 months. So pathetic.
But back to this track… Luckily, Jermaine Dupri and Trey Songz are more forward-thinking than the bitter old heads on the Clear Channel radio stations here and layed verses down on Class’s track while wyling out to in the studio (Download it here. It’s BANGING!) Rumor has it, Puffy reached out to get down on a remix as well. So yeah Philly, excellent work being way behind the curve on this track that’s really about to do some major things.
Have fun playing catch up, old heads.

Just when you thought you were done with cocaine metaphors over Neptunes beats. This is fire.
This has been a truly huge record for me over the past year or so. It’s the one record I play of mine at nearly every single gig I’ve done over the past year. Regardless if it’s a hipster, House, or a hip-hop crowd, I’ve played it everywhere from Austin to Helsinki, and every single time I play it, it gets one of the largest reactions of the night. It’s fairly simple in its execution, but not quite as simple as some of the other Bmore Soul tracks that we all know and love. The drums knock, the synth lines add a nice touch that doesn’t let this song feel out of place next to other electronic stuff, and the sequencing really make this a dancefloor burner. When the dick beat kicks finally drop, expect hands in the air.
This should be seeing its way onto vinyl in the near future, but as of right now, here’s the mixed and mastered mp3 for your playing pleasure. Please feel free to pass it around and blog it as well.
Shouts to Starkey for the fine mixing and mastering job.

Sad news. R.I.P. to one of my favorite folk singers. Below is her classic self-written song “Hit Or Miss.” Such a great song. Thanks to Ayres for hitting me with the mp3.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Odetta, the deep-voiced folk singer whose ballads and songs became for many a soundtrack to the American civil rights movement, has died at age 77, her manager said on Wednesday.
Douglas Yeager said Odetta passed away late Tuesday at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, after a decade-long fight with chronic heart disease and pulmonary fibrosis in her lungs.
“May Odetta’s luminous spirit and volcanic voice from the heavens live on for the ages,” Yeager said in a statement. “Her voice will never die.”
Odetta Holmes, born in Birmingham, Alabama, on December 31, 1930, told the Times in a 2007 interview the music of the Great Depression, particularly the prison songs and work songs from the fields of the deep South, helped shape her musical life.

This month, our friend DJ Ayres from The Rub in Brooklyn was kind enough to offer his services, volunteering a “Best of Jeezy” tape. Jeezy is easily one of our favorite rappers right now and Ayres does a great job representing Jeezy’s best known classics mixed splendidly with his lesser known rarities and guest appearances. Ayres was so excited about doing this mix, he actually threw on a Snowman chain and went on a photoshoot! So ill! But yeah, it’s a really listenable mix and we’re extremely pleased to present it to you today. Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to drop a few comments. Don’t forget to hit up The Rub in Philly at the TLA this Thursday or their epic monthly this Saturday in Brooklyn as well. Easily one of the best parties in the WORLD (no hyperbole!).

Talented producer, DJ, and rapper (not to mention all around good guy and fashion icon) Pase Rock‘s new double A-Side single “Get Money Kids/So Fu**ing Disco” is available on iTunes today. You may have already downloaded the mp3s at some point if you’re as blog savvy as the rest of us nerds, but you most certainly do not have Emynd’s “Get Money Kids” Remix or XXXChange’s “So Fu**ing Disco” Remix. Well worth your hard earned dollars and extremely dope cover art as well!
