U-God x Yuksek

This was rather unexpected. Yuksek completely reworking a U-God joint. Remember when U-God sued the Wu Music Group (Wu-Tang Clan) for $170K earlier this year? As one of the article comments said, "U-God should give Wu Music $170K for all those wack verses over the years". Hahaha.

Kano - Hustler (video)

Vid snatched from Eskay

Yeah there are Dizzee and Wiley, but Kano is (and has been for a good minute now) proper reppin' the UK grime scene too. This is from his upcoming "140th Grime St" album, due for drop September 29th.

PS. Notice how the music crackhead bought a cd, but then got high off a cassette player? You can't play cds with a tape player, you crackhead.

Some throwback shit.

MSTRKRFT x Mansion

Tdot is taking over. This remix might as well become the city anthem. The "Bounce" original was produced by Toronto's heavy-weights AL-P & JFK (which = MSTRKRFT), with vocals by N.O.R.E & Thunderheist's (+ Toronto's) Isis. Now it's been effectively twerked by the city's newest duo, Mansion (which is DJ Barletta & Van Helder).

* I was going to link this back to my older post filled with Barletta originals & remixes... but... it's... gone? Weird.

DJ Kue - Fuk it up

Heavy hitting wobbly bass makes girls dance with their eyes closed & hands up. Fatman Scoop samples make guys punch air. Combining the two makes everyone go ape-shit on the dancefloor. Everyone knows this.

...and DJ Kue knew it too.
