Do you like Dilla? Do you like Nas? Well then do I have something for you. Thanks to Squeek Boogie, of the Bumsquad DJ’z,  now you can both all together in one 16 track mixtape. I’m not the biggest J. Dilla fan. But before you all throw a flaming pitchfork at me, it’s because I am not very familiar with him. I have his beats on my Mac (shout out to Steve Jobs) but haven’t gotten around to listening to all of them yet. So for someone like me, or someone who has never heard of Dilla, this mixtape may just what the doctor ordered. Aside from smoking plenty of medical marijuana.

All the west coast homies will probably enjoy the first track “Nas is Like”, I know I’mma be bumping this in the whip on Sunday. “Thief’s Theme” is another banger. And “Streets of New York” rounds out my Top 3, as this track is over the “House of Flying Daggers” beat which may be my favorite beat of 2009.

I hope you guys enjoy. Peace.

This is making it’s way around the interweb this past week. A “mixtape” of A Tribe Called Quest  remixes by DJ Chong Wizard.

With heavy hitters like Del Tha Funke Homospaien,Tanya Morgan, Panacea’s K Murdock, El da Sensei and Moka Only you’ll expect something more memorable. However, what you get is a lukewarm mix of a bunch no-name emcees spitting over remixed classic Tribe tunes. It’s definitely worth a listen, no doubt. Still with the name of A Tribe called Quest attached to project most would expect greatness not just goodness.

Remix or reworkings? I would say reworkings of classic and not so classic tunes by the band called The Remix Project (Apple Juice Kid, Matt Brandau, Brevan Hampden, Mark Wells, Dana Chell).

In the vain of El Michel’s Affair and Breakstra The Remix Project drops some heavy  jazz stylings in this 22 song mixtape. With The Apple Juice Kid at the helm expect to be delighted by some smooth sounds.

“The sizzling instrumental hip-hop covers of The Remix Project–four crack jazz musicians with disgustingly developed chops–will let you enjoy the party at night and not regret your choice for a musical paramour in the morning.”
The Independent Weekly

The good folks at Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim bring to you, yet again, a sonically-pleasing and incredibly dope collection of music to enjoy. This recently released mixtape entitled, ATL RMX contains a wide selection of some heavy-hitting Southern joints along with some duds that may have you questioning if the mixtape is all that good or not (read: a Gucci Mane joint and Shawty Lo remix both rear their significantly edited heads). Never fear though as the likes of Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke and Phaseone (as well as remixes by some of those turning heads in the indie scene such as chillwave darling Memory Tapes and L.A. noise band HEALTH) make their way in as well.

The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Young Jeezy – I Got This (El-P Remix)
2. Rich Kids – Patna Dem (Mad Decent Patna’s Remix by DJA)
3. Dem Getaway Boyz – Imma G (Memory Tapes Remix)
4. Good Time Guys – Is That You God? (Dabrye Remix)
5. Young Dro – Take Off (Michna Remix)
6. Cee-Lo – Hello Miss (Armani XXXChange Remix)

Ever since Terry brought up this idea I’ve been feigning for a listen. This track will kill a dance floor, but I want more Bowie! I’ll reserve judgment until the full project drops Friday.

With the success of  ”Viva La Hova” and “Southerngold”… Terry Urban leaks the first single off  his new remix album “Lady Stardust” which mashes up pop sensations Lady Gaga and David Bowie. Terry felt a remix project like this needed to be done with such similarities between the two pop icons. The album will be released for free download Friday, November 20th.

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban came to rock U.C. Riverside a few weeks back. Pheo & I showed the fellas around the Inland and helped rock the party. The buffoonery was documented below:

Summer is a time when the new music is dropping everywhere and sometimes new tunes just slip by bloggers like myself. For example this new remix.

Mr J Medeiros has teamed up with Stro the 89 Key to release a remix to the track “Umpire State“. This remix was originally released about a month ago but heads are just now hearing about it.

“If you picked up “The Art of Broken Glass”, (which I hope you have- legally= means I eat) then you might have noticed a track called “Umpire State”. Well, this so happens to be a remix of that track with an entirely dfferen’t spin on it. I can dig it.”
Mr J Medeiros

Something that slipped my notice as well is Mr. J released a 6 song EP entitled “The Art Of Broken Glass” back in April of this year. Two of tracks on EP I’ve already posted earlier The Measure and Love is All . Now here’s some more good music from Mr. J.

Common sense would tell you I should put these posts together on Sunday and have them live first thing Monday morning. However weekends are made for more debaucherous activities, and Monday’s are at least intended for more productive work. Got an interesting mix of last weeks music that didn’t make a post on EOLA, download the entire zip of em, or take what you like: MP3: Right Click > Save As

Download: The Monday’s Week 27 (Mediafire, 78mb).

Music:

1.) Wu Tang Clan - “Evil Deeds” (ft. Ghostface Killah, RZA, Havoc) - Third week in a row which a track off the upcoming Chamber Music has hit this weekly list, probably due to the fact the Clan has been producing incredible quality music, excited to get the complete project which drops officially tomorrow (June 30th). (MP3: Download)

2.) Emilio Rojas - “A Million” (prod. Bangladesh) - Emilio via Brooklyn drops this stray shot in advance to his upcoming mixtape, The Natural, with DJ Green Lantern coming later this summer.  (MP3: Download)

3.) Nas - “Film” (prod. C-Sick) - Last year after taking the Red Bull “Big Tune” beat battle competition, 17 year old Charles “C-Sick” Dumazer snagged his prize & opportunity to record alongside Nas. How does he produce his beats? A PC laptop, Fruity Loops software & searching Google for Mp3’s and sounds! Nas even put some of his best rhymes forward on this track. (MP3: Download)

4.) The Kid Daytona - “Air Born” (ft. Bun B) - The Kid Daytona is certainly a fan favorite amongst the independent hip hop scene, he linked up with Bun B at SXSW this past year and out comes a collaboration track! I’m a huge fan of Bun, so obviously check out his verse. The Kid Daytona is drumming up the promo campaign for his newest album, Come Fly With Me,  dropping tomorrow (June 30th) as well. (MP3: Download)

5.) Drake - “Think Good Thoughts” (ft. Phonte, Elzhi & prod. 9th Wonder) - If Drake were to ask me which artists he should collaborate with, Phonte, Elzhi & 9th Wonder would certainly appear high on my list, and the fact that all four of em will rock on one track togther? Even better… You’ve probably heard versions of this before, but this is the complete song with Elzhi’s verse.  (MP3: Download)

6.) Cookin Soul - “Streets Is Getting Hot” (Remix) (ft. Tek, Stat Quo, Ali Vegas, Mic Geronimo, Big Pooh, Doo Wop, Icadon, Chirie Vegas & 40 Cal) - Last week we featured a track off the upcoming collaboration mixtape from Nah Right x FLuD watches dubbed 1 A.M. & Rising. The mixtape is entirely produced by Cookin Soul & drops next week. Until then you have a Beenie-Man influenced megamix featuring a slew of hip hop artists I don’t recognize, but they come together nicely. (MP3: Download)

7.) 87 Stick Up Kids - “Stoops & Basements” - Not personally a fan of 87 Stick Up Kids, but they’ve certainly been hustlin the So.Cal music scene as of late & just put out their new EP, Out 4 Fame, which you could download here. I ran across “Stoops & Basements” a long while ago, but it’s my favorite track off the E.P. because the baselines kicking! (MP3: Download)

8.) Ladytron - “Tomorrow” (Vector Lovers Rmx) - Long time electro-dance staples Ladytron get the remix treatment from Vector Lovers for “Tomorrow” off last year’s album Velocifero. (MP3: Download)

9.) La Roux - “Tigerlily” - The very much buzzworthy electropop duo, La Roux, is priming themselves for their breakout year. Their self titled new album dropped today and can be caught where ever you legitimately purchase music.  (MP3: Download)

Another 5  tracks, a mix & video’s after the jump…

Raheem Devaughn aka “Radio Raheem” is out with a new mix tape “Art Noise”  and to no surprise the mixtape is all quality. Some of my favorites being “Piece of Clay”, and “Hennessy Joint.” I’ll warn you though there is a feature from T- Pain for all you auto tune haters. Once you get past that, the other records are a melodic delight. Recently receiving a Grammy nomination for best Male R & B vocal performance, it is nice to see Raheem Devaughn is beginning to receive the recognition his music deserves. His last album “Love Behind the Melody” is a must have and in stores.
