THE RUB FEEL YOU FT LIL FAME & MISUN MARCO POLO REMIX

A nice remix of The Rub's Feel You by Brooklyn based producer Marco Polo for The Rub Remixed EP out July 30. It's a sick beat and Misun's vocals add an amazing gritty funkiness to the track. Marco Polo adds a 90s touch to the rap aesthetic rounding out an excellently produced mix. 

The Rub (DJ Eleven + DJ Ayres) released a 4 dong EP in June, and have enlisted some of their favorite producers to remix the tracks. Check out their website to download the original album and stay tuned for the release of their upcoming EP.

CASSIUS / OUTKAST FEELING FOR ROSA 1999

Flight Facilities bring you a free download of their bootleg from their 1992-2002 Decades Mix.

"We normally wouldn't do things like this but too many people have asked for a download. We're turning a blind eye to our own judgement on cheesy-mashups. So here is one of the bootlegs we made for the 90s mix. We've pulled it out of the project for your enjoyment."

 I'm so glad they mention something of their opinion of mashups too, as I seem to have a violently negative reaction to most of them. While most are just an excuse for poor skills or inexperience typically coming off as musical turrets, this one takes it easy. I also might be super biased in that the two songs they sample are major favorites of mine, and I love Flight Facilities. So whatever. It's good.

CHESTER WATSON PHANTOM

Chester Watson is 16 years old, has put out 3 mixtapes, and has produced some of his own instrumentals. So what have you done today? Probably not enough. His lyrics are sharp and distinct, and he executes his style with the delivery of a much more mature rapper/ lyricist. "Phantom" is precise and Watson works his way steadily through the track over a chill vintage beat. I love that this sounds like 90s stoner/hip hop and think that he is definitely one to watch out for.

Also check out his video for "Shapeshifter" in which he mentions Polly Pockets, which basically means I have to love him for ever.

MONTELL JORDAN - THIS IS HOW WE DO IT (VICEROY "JET LIFE" REMIX)

FUCK YEAH FRIDAY!

Let's begin by aknowledging that you cannot beat the original. It transcends all that is awesome and its genre holds a sweet spot in my 90's heart. That being said, San Francisco based Viceroy, Mr. "Summertime, all the time", kills it with the update of this classic. Enjoy.
