DJ Class ft Lil’ Jon “I’m the Ish” (Remix)

I’ve already had my salty little diatribe chastising the Clear Channelization of Philly radio that keeps the same 20 songs in rotation on Philly radio for 6 months and subsequently prevents the radio DJs of this city really help develop a healthy local/regional scene, so I’ll spare you those thoughts and just bask in the glory that is this song. DJ Class’s OG “I’m the Shit” was so dope that JD and Traysongz hopped on the beat to drop verses having no idea who the hell it was, and this track was just recently scooped by a major (Universal, I believe). And, of course, what better way to christen a new remix than to invite Lil Jon to get up on it and ride that beat. If you’re familiar with Bmore at all, you know damn well that besides the Lyn Collin’s “Think” break, Lil Jon “What” and “Yeah” samples are standard fare in what is known in Bmore simply as “Club music.” This represents the first time Lil Jon actually makes a non-sampled appearance on a Club song, and that’s a momentous occasion as far as I’m concerned.

Here’s to hoping this track blows on a major, major scale and helps make Bmore Club a household name.

Nas-“The World” Prod. By Kanye West

Nas drops some gems on relationships and “broad science”. I feel you son, it’s a jungle out there.

FLO-RIDAS SIDE A

This month, our homie Kenny Fiesta stopped by to hit us with a club and pop-focused mix of Floridian jams. Here’s his description of this hella fun mix:

This is ‘Flo-Ridas’ Side A of a 100 minute mixtape…when I went to Miami this year, my boys asked me to make a tape for when we rented a car. This is what came out of it…I went back and did it right. This was actually done entirely in Adobe Audition. Every artist is from Florida, and usually stacked to get a full dose of them. We’re also big Pitbull fans, as in 2007 on a 4 hour drive from Tampa to Miami, we heard all his albums.

Side B coming soon, but for now, enjoy Side A, (even if it is a bit heavy on Crossfaded Bacon Anti-Favorite Plies songs)!

Biggie Smalls Throwback

I saw Notorious this weekend and really enjoyed it. Instead of replicating a full review over here you can catch it over at my own site if you’re curious about the details. Just know that it was hot, especially for true fans, and I highly recommend it. The best part of the movie, though, beyond the chance to reflect on the significance of one of hip-hop’s finest artists, was the music itself. As much as I bump Biggie occasionally on my own being in a theater full of heads rhyming along made his dopeness really sink in. A really smart early scene showed a young Frank White freestyling on a Fulton Street corner in Brooklyn (which nowadays has plastic surgery and law offices, but those are the wonders of gentrification, I guess). The freestyle in the movie was cribbed from this real footage below. He was definitely one of the best to ever do it.

Meek Mill feat Chinko “Bacardi”

As always, thanks to Philly Ish we got that new Meek Mill and Chinko clubby joint. I’m into it.

Stevie Wonder “All About the Love Again” (autotune?)

Yup. Stevie does autotune and as my man wayne said- this autotune shits use is a style thing, not a can’t sing thing (well… not all the time). While the autotune effect is very slight, its on there and I’m sure people are gonna hate on it regardless. GOAT!!!!!!!!

NEW STEVIE!!!

Kardinal Offishal “Nina” (Black Chiney)

Big up to Ross Hawg for putting me up on this monster.

Santogold & Project Pat “Shuv It” (Three Six Mafia Remix)

Big ups to DJ Benzi (NSFW website) for putting me up on this amazing Three Six Mafia remix of Santogold Phil $’s ex-babysitter’s “Shuv It.” Project Pat kills it and the beat is typcial Three Six madness.

BTW, what’s up with this “I Love Project Pat” gear?

What You Know About…

…Double XX Posse?

I’m just as hype over “Funk Dat 2009” as Emynd is, and it immediately made me think of my other favorite irreverent throwback hip-hop track catchphrase, “I’m Not Gon’ Be Able To Do It.” How hot is it to tell some really cute light-skinned girl about herself in the 1992 era of New Jack City and Mike Tyson’s rape conviction? I’m all about how the bass opens up this track and the thats’s-not-a-word nonsensical lyrics like “move into a crib in some suburbian area.” Such a great combination; it makes me want to start saying “Eat My Shorts!” again just to be a new jack crotchety old-head.

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!
