[Music Video] Skrillex & Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem

I actually really like this and to be honest, while I respect the Skrillex movement and he puts on a helluva live show, that’s with me not being a huge fan of his recorded music or even Damian Marley‘s acclaimed album with Nas. Makes sense that this works though. At the end of the day, dubstep’s roots (no pun intended) are in dub reggae and so much reggae music is essentially electronic music anyway that the synergies and the room to successfully collaborate between the two worlds are obvious.

[MP3] Xzibit feat. King Tee & Tha Alkaholiks – Louis XIII (prod. Dr. Dre)

This is the one where X-to-tha-Z resolves all his notorious crew hopping on one FIYA new anthem for the left coast. Posted to commemorate me spending the weekend here in the City of Angels (even if I was mostly in downtown and Echo Park, not South Central). From the forthcoming, Xzibit album, Napalm dropping October 9. Dre, just give me 12 more like this, slap the Detox label on the front and I’m GOOD! Crazy…
