The announcement of Straight Outta Compton for me, and I assume many OG gangster rap fans, was above everything else bittersweet. N.W.A. has been long gone. Ice Cube makes movies and Dr. Dre makes billions and beats. I got over it. I revisited my love for this group that said mother f*ck the police, and pretty much put their very specific genre on the map. The thing is, the … [Read more...]

Tinashe – 2 On feat. ScHoolBoy Q (Paper Diamond Remix)
We haven't heard a ton from Paper Diamond in 2014, but he is sure ending it with a bang. His new remix of Tinashe and SchoolBoy Q's "2 On" is a synth filled masterpiece.

SALVA – Peacemaker Mixtape
SALVA has always had a rep for killing the remix game- but since April, the LA based producer has been gifting us with little previews of his new mixtape, 'Peacemaker'.

I'm sure, when West Coast rapper ScHoolboy Q released "Hell of a Night", he wasn't expecting one hell of a remix from UK trio Yogi. The three--newly signed to Skrillex's OWSLA record label--took the dreamy, lean-infused track off of Q's Oxymoron and added a significant amount of their own flair. Transforming DJ Dahi's original into a synth filled, drum&bass-like … [Read more...]
