The Kid Daytona The Interlude
The Kid Daytona has always intrigued me. I remember the first time I heard anything about him was on a classic episode of Juan Epstein - learned a lot about him, most of it wasn't about his rapping, but over the years, I've always respected his use of theme in his projects. Especially since these shits are free. I mean damn, it's like he had some of the finest producers out there (6th Sense, Cook Classics, 9th Wonder, Ted Smooth and others) take some of the illest musical loops and moments from Hip-Hop and craft fly beats from them. That's what he did? Then he got MCs like Styles P, N.O.R.E., Freddie Gibbs and others to collab with? Jesus Christ, why did I ever sleep on this? Kind of mad I hadn't peeped this when it initially dropped. Definitely something for you to rock to over this holiday weekend. Or on the train. Or while you're at work. Or in the cipher. Future of this thing of ours, looking back at where this thing of ours has traveled. We need more of this.DOWNLOAD The Kid Daytona The Interlude
Jazmine Sullivan "Holding You Down (Ted Smooth Remix)"
Jazmine Sullivan "Holding You Down (Ted Smooth Remix)": This is ready for your Saturday night mixshows - Ted knows how to blend some classic sounds underneath some new school tracks.I'm not mad at Philly's Jazmine Sullivan at all, but for some reason I've never properly listened to her album... might need to fix that.The Kid Daytona "The Champ"
The Kid Daytona "The Champ" (prod. by Ted Smooth): Nice collabo from Daytona and Ted Smooth, who mashes a few vintage Hip-Hop sounds for Daytona to coast over. Word is Funkmaster Flex premiered this last night, so I'm glad the internets gets this today. Taken from The Interlude LP, which is being done in collaboration with L-R-G.Busta Rhymes ft. Swizz Beats "Stop The Party (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)"
Busta Rhymes ft. Swizz Beats "Stop The Party (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)": I definitely didn't like the beat on the original "Stop The Party", so Ted Smooth flippin' it with the "Simon Says" instrumental? Instant smash... niggas are packin' HEAT for the Fourth! Fireworks in the daytime.Sean Paul x Ted Smooth "Wine It"
Sean Paul x Ted Smooth "Wine It": @TedSmooth's "Memorial Day Massacre" begins with this track, and it's a doozy. I've actually been hearing a GRIP of "Hold Yuh" versions, I think Cipha Sounds played like three or four during yesterday's morning show. I get tired of them after a while, but Ted punched this one up with harder-hitting drums. Nice shift for a track, and should be a nice gem to set a Memorial Day Weekend jam off PROPA!Drake "Find Your Love (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)"
Drake ft. 3D "Find Your Love (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)": Most people wanted to choke Drizzy out when they heard "Find Your Love", but with Ted Smooth throwing the classic "Shook Ones Pt. 2" instrumental under Drake's crooning, this works much better. Not sure who 3D is, but I'm not mad. Reminds me of the late '90s.Bonus Beats Drake "Find Your Love (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)"
Joell Ortiz "Kawl Me (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)"
Joell Ortiz "Kawl Me (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)": The Ortiz jawn that sets himself apart from the rest of Slaughterhouse gets the @TedSmooth treatment, throwing Joell's teenage love tales over LL Cool J's "Around The Way Girl". Only makes sense, nahmean!?Rihanna "Rude Boy (Ted Smooth Remix)"
Rihanna "Rude Boy (Ted Smooth Remix)": I dropped Emynd's blend yesterday, and Ted Smooth premiered his remix of Rihanna's latest not about 45 minutes ago, and leaked it soon thereafter. Gotta love the power of twitter. Different sound - not a big beat at all, but the piano loop is interesting and works well. It's like Dancehall, minus the big bottom riddim.Jay Electronica "Exhibit C (Ted Smooth Remix)"
Jay Electronica "Exhibit C (Ted Smooth Remix)": Blend King @TedSmooth threw the CLASSIC "Tried By 12" instrumental under Jay's "Exhibit C"...Oh, did I need to say more? MP3 via 2DBz.
Usher ft. Jadakiss "Daddy's Home (Ted Smooth Remix)"
Usher ft. Jadakiss "Daddy's Home (Ted Smooth Remix)": Nice classic blend from the remix king, Ted Smooth. With the way "Daddy's Home" is getting burn right now, this might be the perfect time (i.e. Super Bowl weekend) to drop this one. 'Kiss drops a dope verse at the beginning. Dunzo.Dirty Money x Ted Smooth
Two of my favorite shits, musically, in 2009 were Diddy's Dirty Money crew and blend master Ted Smooth's remix flavor. Seems like the older I get, the more I hark back to the days of my youth - which were filled with Diddy's unabashed jacking of old hits and refixing them into "Hip-Hop Soul", be it with Total or Biggie. Ted Smooth fills the need of the true "blend", the quality remixing that cats like Splash remember from mixtape days of old. I guess it was only a matter of time that Ted would touch some Dirty Money cuts, and boy does he take it back with both of these...Mario ft. Gucci Mane "Break Up (Ted Smooth Remix)"
Mario ft. Gucci Mane "Break Up (Ted Smooth Remix)" [clean \ dirty]: YOU REMEMBER! On the real, "Break Up" is one of my joints for no good reason. I wanna say its just the beat, but its the whole track, even ignant ass GUCCI! Ted Smooth, remix and blender extraordinaire, flipped Missy Elliott's "All N My Grill", and even does that repetitive snare hit thing, and revamps this one. Excellent blend - for more, get familiar.N.O.R.E. ft. Jim Jones & Nina Sky "Shoulders Move (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)"
N.O.R.E. ft. Jim Jones & Nina Sky "Shoulders Move (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)": I've been messing with the resurgence of Ted Smooth remixes since Cipha Sounds blew up Ted's "Blame It" blend earlier this year. I loved the original "Shoulders Move", and this '90s-leanin' flip has me buggin' out in my cubicle. I'm gonna have to get a lil liquored up and get my groove on to this.Shouts to Splash.
Bonus Beats Jay-Z ft. Rihanna & Kanye West "Run This Town (DJ Ted Smooth Remix)"
Lady Gaga ft. Busta Rhymes "Just Dance (Ted Smooth Remix)"
Lady Gaga ft. Busta Rhymes "Just Dance (Ted Smooth Remix)" [clean \ dirty]: In an age where the term "mash-up" has erased what I grew up on, the BLEND, Harlem's Ted Smooth is keeping the sound alive. Just peep how he took Fatty GaGa's track and threw the "Nigga What, Nigga Who" beat underneath, really playing with the varying tempos. Solid work.MP3s via Splash.
For those looking for more Ted Smooth remixes, hit up this post Cipha Sounds did a few months back; he has thoroughly rinsed his blends of "Jumping Out The Window" and "Blame It", among others. MORE FIRE!
