Major Lazer are known for the wide range of musical influences and styles that they draw on and look to incorporate into their music. Whether it is their original work or remixes, they always bring something new to the table. In this latest remix with trap up-and-comer Grandtheft, they take this recent dance hall original from Machel Montano and add slight changes to make it their own. Instead of going for what has been their hallmark lately in trap, they stylize the remix around the dance hall sound, with chunky drums and synths that add an extra element to the track. The remix is free so be sure to grab this one below.
Hip-Hop, RnB | Trey Palms – I Hate You
Posted by admin on July 12, 2013
I’ve been following Trey Palms for quite some time now, and his most recent song “I Hate You” is without a doubt some of his best work to date. Seeing as I have a slight predisposition for melodic, R&B tracks I could be a bit biased, however, the hip-hop crossover record that Palms has crafted is likely to appeal to a wide range of audiences. He harmonizes his first two verses, warbling in a slight auto-tuned, yet full-emotion manor. Then, on the third and final verse he flips back to his rapping where he wraps up the song with a few well-delivered bars.
Although I can’t say I’ve been a fan of every single song that Trey Palms has ever released, he is surely making a mark in my mind and heading in the right direction.
