Nina Sky "You Ain't Got It (Funk That)"

Nina Sky "You Ain't Got It (Funk That)" (prod. by DJ Yonny): Nice one, Yonny - "Funk Dat" is a serious classic, at least out here in the Tri-State - I remember buggin' out with the homies on rides home from basketball games to this. This cut is taken from Nina Sky's forthcoming EP, The Other Side, which also boasts production from Double 0 (of Kidz In The Hall), Clinton Sparks and Tittsworth! Should be a proper portrait of their melting pot sound. Good to hear them doing their thing! DJs, this is a perfect cut to sneak into your sets during this long weekend, trust.

Shouts to GFCny for this.

Justin Bieber "Baby (El-P Death Mix)"

Justin Bieber "Baby (El-P Death Mix)": HAH! I remember seeing El-P tweet, saying that if he got a Bieber acapella, he'd remix it. Looks like XLR8R took him up on it, and he dropped the bomb. No way was I expecting him to flip another Pop(ular) White act, The Beatles, and totally bastardize what Bieber was doing. Simply amazing. Shouts to PIMB for the heads up.

Dave Raps "Sounds So Good" (prod. by Vee Nyce): It's been a little over a year since I introduced you to Dave Raps with "Liquor, White Hoes", which was a Spring Break anthem that got slept on. The homey Vee Nyce passed this track over yesterday, and it's in a different lane - that beat is hyper seductive, and Dave doesn't hesitate, spittin' on a number of things that end up going back to a bad ass chick. This cut is taken from Yes, I Do..., so if you fucks with this, you need to get on that.

Recess "Escalators"

Recess "Escalators": Here's another leak from the Sene/theClubhouse Recess project. This is an interesting mix - I dig these cuts because while they are a bit left of center, it's a great mix, really a true hybrid sound. I hope they are going to push this as a live thing.

Shouts to J57 and Soul Khan for putting their interns onto the site, too - greatly appreciated!

This is for those grown mans dem, reminiscing on life, yeah?

Joell Ortiz got to hear some of the homey DJ Fricktion's beats recently...

Ortiz impersonating Funkmaster Flex is a trip LOL. Then he plays Joell a track for Crooked I:

Looks like we have a winner!
