New Music: Hyper Crush – Kick Us Out feat. Clinton Sparks & The Cataracs (Get Familiar Remix)

MP3: Kick Us Out Feat. Clinton Sparks & The Cataracs (Get Familiar Remix) by clintonsparks

As we continue on with the weekend party vibes….

I was gonna say something smart in response to hearing this track like, “Remember when Clinton Sparks was making hardcore hip hop records?” and then note that that was before he went out to Vegas to start DJing the clubs out there and got influenced to start making electro pop records like this, but when I went to his website, I noticed that amazingly enough, he’s actually still making hardcore hip hop records! Well to be fair though, there’s actually some pretty big drums on the chorus to this so-called pop track. Speaking of which…..

Looks Like There’s A Purple Rain of Wiz Khalifa ‘Black and Yellow’ Covers Coming Down On Us….

10 year old Young Lyric aka Lyrikkal‘s “Pink and Purple” video (above) is too cute!

But did you know Tom Hanks’ other son, Chet Hanks raps under the name Chet Haze?? Here’s his Purple take on “Black and Yellow” titled, “White & Purple (Northwestern Remix)”:

Which apparently though is actually ripping off this:

MP3: Tiësto vs. Diplo feat. Busta Rhymes – C’mon (Catch ‘Em By Surprise)

MP3: Tiësto vs. Diplo ft. Busta Rhymes – C’mon (Catch ‘Em By Surprise) by Dj Bianco

Not a Tiësto fan by any stretch, in fact I find most of his music utter rubbish but the homie, James sent me the the video above so i checked it out and shockingly, I actually didn’t mind it. Plus it’s a good track for a Friday night weekend kickoff. Not sure the nature of Diplo‘s involvement in this track – is this a mash-up of tracks by him and Tiësto with a new vocal by Busta on top?? I mean, I could google the answer I guess, but I don’t really care that much, to be honest….

New Music: Kanye West – Runaway (RealBlaze Dance Remix)

Spotted via the homie, TOflo.com comes this excellent remix by Toronto producer, RealBlaze. Name aside (this is the real Blaze to me), I LOVE this! The perfect track to get the weekend kicked off with – LET’S GO!!!!!

New Music You NEED to Hear: The Five One – Never Been

THIS is by FAR my favorite hip hop record by a new group (or at least one I’d never heard of before) right now! Sent to me via the Soundcloud dropbox – smart, fellas! All y’all still sending non-streaming fileshare links of your music via the gmail stay losing. Act like you know and to my readers: seriously, CHECK THIS OUT – this is really great-produced, well-written underground hip hop. You’ll thank me!

[update: wait! this is a cover of a Wiz Khalifa song from the excellent but I guess, not closely-enough-listened-to by me, Kush and Orange Juice mixtape ??! I’m way out the mix apparently and too dense to get a clue from the pic of Wiz on the bottom of the artwork….]
