This is what it’s all about. There is nothing we love more than when a classic hip hop track gets the fresh make over it’s needed. This is one of those you’ll have stuck on repeat. I don’t recall the last time I heard a Fat Joe remix, but this one by Taylor Wise was well worth the wait. Giving it a nice pop twist with tropical vibes, Taylor Wise perfectly reworks the beat while working with Fat Joe’s rap verses, and brings in a super smooth chorus complemented by Ashanti’s lovely vocals. This one is a free download, so be sure to grab it now!

House, Progressive House | Eric Prydz – Pjanoo (Laurent Iacomucci Bootleg)

Posted by on May 5, 2014

Eric Prydz- Pjanoo (Laurent Iacomucci Bootleg)

Take a good look at the young man in the image above because not only does he clearly have top-tier pectoral muscles (thank God for tight v-necks am I right ladies?), but he is also helping to revive the groove filled style of progressive house that was so popular prior to the genre becoming mainstream and switching to the euphoria driven sound. Laurent lacomucci is a 20 year old from the tiny country of Luxembourg and has broken away from his string of originals to put his own spin on the Eric Prydz classic, “Pjanoo”. The signature piano melody as well as the background arp remain but they have been reworked to fit into a groove heavy context. Everybody thought that Ja Rule and Ashanti were perfect together when they did that song back in 2002 but times changed and groove in house music took a back seat to Ashanti and uplifting chords so it’s nice to see young producers reverting back to that classic style.

DO SOMETHING

Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Rap | Mystikal, Roscoe Dash, Wale, XV, Ashanti, Busta

If you’re still trying to decipher the words that came out of young Khaliyl’s mouth, stop.  The kid’s only two.  I’m sure if he knew how to talk, he would be rolling the ABC’s of rap off his little British tongue.  He’s definitely got the body language of rap down and he bobs with the beat.  If Tinie Tempah doesn’t sign this kid, Jay-Z better.

In other news, “DANGERRRRR, WATCH YO’SELF,” Mystikal is back and he brought his friend vengeance .  Is it just me or is this close to vintage?  Just when I thought he had packed his bags, he inks a new deal with Cash Money and debuts this brand new record.  Thank you Weezy?

The fifth track off Roscoe Dash’s debut EP, “J.U.I.C.E.” which is set for a a December 20th release.  Roscoe & Wale saw unparalleled success with their collab on “No Hands” in which they were both featured on Waka Flocka’s hit track, so once again they link up to deliver an early morning club hit.The second Wale track is a freestyle he did with fellow DMV artist, Black Cobain, who he recently revealed in an interview was one of his favorite up and coming artists.  Personally I’ve thought Tyga’s “Rack City” was overhyped and I never really saw the appeal, but clearly the masses think otherwise.

After giving us a new track just a few days ago, Vizzy cuts the lock on another one, this time produced by The Awesome Sound.  XV was in the studio with Drama Beats earlier this week and although this track isn’t produced by Drama himself, he’s dedicating it to his #youngandreckless Squarians.

The overwhelming realization that Mystikal still had it nearly knocked me unconscious and when I heard Ashanti was back as well, I almost broke out my Discman and $10 Sony headphones to bring me back to the good-ole-days.  Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever hear the Ashanti we grew accustomed to hearing back in the late 90’s and early 00’s, but for a comeback, this isn’t terrible.  Her larynx appears to still be in tact and Busta picks up the slack to make this a decent track.  Pardon the quality, I’ll share the CDQ once I find it if you’d like.
