Man if I was in Philly, I’d definitely be hitting this up tonight. Freeway and Meek Mill amongst others. Don’t forget to cop THE STIMULUS PACKAGE when it drops tomorrow!
In other news, a brief twitter exchange between Freeway and Just Blaza bodes well for the future of all humanity.
I just re-upped this for Valentine’s Day after hearing someone on my block cuss this chick out until she was crying hysterically. Yes this is old, and yes I’ve prolly posted this before, but as Stevie said, “love’s in need of love today.”
Hot damn, CFB is really starting 2010 off massive! A couple weeks ago we dropped the smash So Shifty *Wine Touch Clap* EP that has everyone from Diplo to Sinden singing its praises and next Tuesday, we got the tallest man in the scene Them Jeans amazing excursion into Big Room House territory with his *Beef EP*. These two releases are my favorite to grace the CFB landscape but before we spill the beans with snippets of the new Them Jeans release, let’s make sure you’re all caught up on the gems the man has blessed us with up to this point.
A couple months back, my folks at Unruly Records were asked to get some remixes of “Video Phone” together. They shouted at me to get one together and I thought the jawn would sound cool sped up to Bounce speed. I didn’t want to use any samples in the remix, so that’s why the drums don’t have the authentic “Drag Rap” or “Brown Beat” sounds, but I think it’s a fun remix nonetheless. Additionally, this remix is a bit a interpolation of the classic Bounce joint by Big Daddie and Bossman’s “Ya Heard Me Part 2” which I’ve also posted below. You should be able to hear the similarities when you listen to both. Hope you enjoy!
If you’re not up on the homie Ted Smooth and his remixes, you need to be. He fairly routinely takes an already popping club song and gives it some classic NY flavor. Definitely useful in certain situations. His whole library of downloads is up in the link below. My favorites are the “Daddy’s Home” remix with a couple verses from Jadakiss, the already classic “Blame It” remix with the “Down for My Ni**az” horns, and a great Dirty Money “Angels” remix. Follow dude on Twitter to stay up to date with his new heat.
Sean Fennesy just posted about 200 Just Blaze productions for download. It’s a fairly comprehensive collection though I’m sure he’s missing a couple joints here and there. Regardless, it’s an excellent look for your ipods.
Our scandanavian friends over at Top Billin hooked us up with a free exclusive remix of So Shifty’s tune “Clap” featuring Ward 21 and Natalie Storm. It’s a banger!
Fun “California Dreamin'” Baltimore re-Interpretation. Video doesn’t really match up with the vibe of the song in my humble opinion, but the song is dope!
And today, we bring you the future! I’m so excited to introduce the world to So Shifty with their very first official release of their own original material here in the *Wine Touch Clap EP.* Everyone from Sinden to Diplo to Radioclit have been showing support to these dudes for months, and I’m so psyched this release finally came together. Featuring Ward 21’s Kunley, Tifa, Timberlee, and Natalie Storm (aka TNT) on vocal work, each of the three originals has a really unique and yet totally consumable vibe: these songs are forward-thinking yet accessible. The remixes all bang too: Them Jeans’ phenomenal Big Room House remix is absolutely massive while I provided a New Orleans Bounce remix that I think works quite well while French wunderkind Douster and the So Shifty boys round out the release with two more great remixes. Peep snippets of each song in the Youtube video above and then go cop that shit!
The OG “Wine,” and the Them Jeans Remix, are both below for y’all to download, blog, and distribute as you please. The rest of the EP can be purchased with the links below. If you blog the song, please provide links for purchase.
Official Electro remix of the excellent Sissy Nobby Bounce track “Giddy Up.” PostModern Electro isn’t really my thing (this kind’ve Electro definitely is!), but parts of this song are really dope.
Great remix from fellow Philly killers Benja Styles and Jakk frost. Future Crossfaded Bacon work coming with both of these dudes. Check Benja’s blog frequently for more great stuff. This will be featured on Benja’s steet album “A Hustler’s Dream” hosted by the mixtape king Big Mike the ruler.
“Back in 1993 Strictly Rhythm released a record called ‘South Street Player – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind‘. It was a song produced and performed by Roland Clarke, who you also might know from ‘ Armand van Helden’s Flowers‘.
Soon it became quite a big club hit here in The Netherlands. We both loved the record so we decided to license it for our Fresh Fruit Label. For our release we made 2 remixes: Fresh Fruit Deep and Fresh Fruit Dub. Both didn’t have much vocals in it, not because we didn’t like them, but because back then we just didn’t have the equipment to include the full vocals. In those early days our ’studio’ was very basic!
Now, 17 years later, we made a vocal edit of our Fresh Fruit Dub, so you can finally hear it how it was ment to be. Strictly Rhythm is re-releasing it on the 1st of february 2010, alongside a remix and dub by Daniel Bovie & Roy Rox.”
I’m a bit late on this but eff it! Dope song, cool video, and shout out to my homie Benja Styles making a brief guest appearance up in the video! Super excited about this album. Cop the mp3 right here on Amazon or right here on iTunes. I’m all for downloading free music, but I’m also all for supporting artists who deserve your money! Give these dudes your $$ bills!!
Don’t forget to cop The Stimulus Package when it drops or even Pre-Order it now! Freeway and Jake One! I’m pretty confident this album is going to be excellent.
