[MP3 + Music Video] Dan-e-o feat. Big Kish & Maestro Fresh Wes – Worldwide Vapors

I posted this before but the video just dropped so it gets the vapors re-post….

[Music Video + MP3] Maestro feat. Saukrates – Stranger

All GT bana, stand up! Two of Guyana’s best (by way of Canada), Maestro Fresh Wes and Saukrates come together on this track from Maestro’s Orchestrated Noise album. If you’re wondering why I’m making such a big deal out of the Guyana connection, have you looked at my soundcloud page??

And as a bonus, hit the jump for a couple ‘recent’ EDM remixes of Maestro’s classic “Let Your Backbone Slide”, a track I’m happy to say, DJs here in the Toronto still drop in the clubs during T.dot or old school hip-hop sets, and a couple recent tracks Sauks has been on including one, “Stylin'” with Shad.
