Hip-Hop | Mobb Deep – Hell On Earth (Nolan The Ninja Remix)

Posted by on November 19, 2013

Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth (Nolan The Ninja Remix)This remix seriously takes me back, feels like just yesterday it was 1996 and I was at my cousins house sneaking a listen of “Front Lines (Hell On Earth)”  behind my moms back. Back in the day Mobb Deep set the stage for my hip-hop listening through the 90s. With the release of their up and coming self titled album, “Mobb Deep”, looming over the heads of all, it’s no wonder that Nolan The Ninja mixed a track from one of the best duos in hip-hop. I will refuse to say this is better than the original, that’s insulting to any great hip-hop track, but I do enjoy the different styling to this track that Nolan The Ninja brings. Definitely worth the listen.

Mat-Zo-Damage-Control

“Lucid Dreams” is already one of the biggest tracks on Mat Zo’s by-all-accounts-totally-awesome debut album, and now it gets the remix treatment from two of the scene’s most interesting players. Anjuna mainstay ilan Bluestone brings a bold, big room touch to Mat Zo’s dreamy original, while The M Machine are marching to their own drummer (as usual) with a a trappy, minimal bassline that gives the song a totally different vibe. The full package is set to drop on November 26th — just in time for Thanksgiving travels.

Hip-Hop | Childish Gambino – 3005 (Official Video)

Posted by on November 14, 2013

Childish Gambino releases a brand new track off his upcoming album, Because The Internet. While his rhymes bring on a sense of pop culture and randomness, Childish Gambino is just smarter than most other rappers. His wordplay is unique with a tight flow all the while with him telling a story throughout the song. I’m very excited for the album to come out, which releases on December 10. Look back for more Gambino in the mean time.

Albums, Electronic, Trap | STYLSS – SUICIDE PACT: TEN

Posted by on November 14, 2013

STYLSS, which stands for “Stop Taking Your Life So Seriously”, from Portland, just put together this sweet collaboration album, the tenth one of its kind. A new “Suicide Pact” is released on the thirteenth of every month. This album features trap, chill, electronic,  and rap music. Some of my favorites are “Caitlyn” by Tapes, which is some funky trap, and “On Tha Fence” by Eastghost and Kid Hnrk, which is trap with a more ambient feel to it. There are going to be 50 cassette tapes made of this album. That’s pretty unique in 2013, and they’re only going to be about $7.  There are also only 1,000 free downloads of the album so you better jump on it!
