New track from Brick Squad-affiliated producer, C4 from DJ Plugg’s mixtape, I Am The Plug which dropped this weekend. I like this. Speaking of Brick Squad though…
Guess I’m not keeping up on current events. Young Jeezy no more??
I’m heading to Hotstepper Sundays at Cube for the first time this Summer. Always good times. Here’s the kind of music you might hear there this afternoon (and also CLICK HERE for more details on today’s event which kicks off at 4PM).
Sonzeira – The Mystery of Man (4hero Remix):
Diana Ross – The Boss (Dimitri From Paris Remix Edit):
Marvin Gaye – Inner City Blues (Ben Gomori’s Chuggy Pug Edit):
The Jones Girls classic, maybe (?) better known from the Xscape cover in the 90s, covered again by new R&B girl group Havok Jones apparently for an entire EP of cover songs originally recorded by 90s era R&B girl groups. This one is produced by Miykal Snoddy.
New from the Truth & Soul records soundcloud:
Plane Jane Records is proud to present The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band‘s newest 45 release.
The BRSB made a ton of noise with their cult classic cover of 50 Cent‘s “PIMP” a few years back, most people thinking that it was the original tune 50 sampled from.
This time they take the Steel Drum Funk sound to a deeper part of Hip Hop with their own rendition on the late great J Dilla‘s classic tune “Rico Suave”. The A Side is “Bacao Suave”, a surefire version of the tune, and you know we like versions. DJs, have a great time.
The B Side is their rendition of the underground classic “Round & Round” from Hi Tek‘s Hi-Teknology album. An absolutely killer version of the tune, drums are heavy, steel pans playing thru the melodies, sure to turn heads on the dance floor. Full length album “55” coming soon on Truth & Soul Records.
Always love cool steel band covers.
