Odd post titles aside, the boy Daddy's Money needs your help. He's one of the 10 finalists for Household Management's Neon Halloween DJ competition. They are allowing the winner the opening slot during their Neon Halloween massive on the 28th of October in Atlanta, as well as a $200 Beatport gift card. Dude's a talent, has been featured here before, and really would appreciate the vote. All you have to do favorite the mix below, either by clicking this link or hitting the "save to favorites" heart on the Soundcloud page. Plus, you can download this shit-hot mix for free. You win, and hopefully he wins!
There aren't enough 2Pac THUGSTEP mash-ups for me. He's one of those MCs who I respect but wasn't a HUGE fan of, so when I hear these refixes, I gain a newfound appreciation for some of his tracks. This hustler's anthem is paired up with a pretty funky Bassnectar riddim by the one like Daddy's Money, who has a great ear for these kinds of things. Nappy sent me a refix of Pac last night that had me rockin', too. We'll let that one sit tucked, as well as the Rawse one that DM sent over...
Daddy's Money "Since Gold Dust Been Gone": DM hit me with this one like "I know it's not the usual THUGSTEP", but what he didn't realize is that I'm a sucker for Pop music refixes. I like people stripping down the cheeseball Pop instrumentals and really dragging that shit into another zone. The Flux Pavillion remix of Fresh's "Gold Dust", from the intro to the placement of the sampled vocals? It's a perfect match. I'd call it Pugstep, but I don't want to be mean to Kelly.
Hectic mixtape from a couple of dope DJ/producer types that hit my inbox earlier today. Refixes from DJ Daddy's Money, Hipnotikk, DJ Hotsauce and others alongside tunes from DZ, Skream, Benga, 12th Planet and more. Blast this!
Shawty Lo vs. DZ "Dey Down": Woke up this morning to a couple THUGSTEP blends from the boy DJ Daddy's Money. What he doesn't know is that I'm a big fan of DZ - and "Dey Know". I like how the "I can rock it acapello!" right before the beat dropped. There's another one of these I'm gonna drop later this week, but for now, rock to this one!
Some Friday morning thugsteppery funk for you. Gucci Mane's "Freaky Gurl" was the first track of his that made me take notice - for good or ill. For his latest blend, DJ Daddy's Money throws Gucci's freak bitch 101 speak atop Downlink's "Gamma Ray". Proper fit, Nappy would approve!
