[MP3] Future feat. Kanye West – I Won (M-Rock Edit feat. Mark Brathwaite)

Been a supporter of the homie, producer & DJ, DJ M-Rock for a while now. This is his latest remix production:

After one year of going from about 300 soundcloud listens to almost 200,000, I felt like I had to take things further this year. Even though my remix got talked about on CNN, I wanted to remix less and write original music but the problem is I don’t know any artists here who I think I’d click with musically and professionally.

I met for ten minutes with a local singer named Mark Brathwaite who I’ve never met before, and we immediately began recording, and it came out really dope! I wanted to remix a new Future ft Kanye song, and asked him if we could create our own original parts to replace Future in the song…Not a cover at all. The result is something that sounds like a forgotten old Motown record with Kanye in it, and it came out of total surprise from absolutely nothing. I mean, we were recording for hours and he hadn’t known my full name yet. It’s a little funny.

Mark has a PR team who follow certain people on Twitter, and after following me, I checked his music and reached out to him. He dropped by one day to talk, and after ten minutes, I played him something, and he immediately began singing. He hadn’t even known my real name yet, we haven’t even had a coffee or talked much.

The best part is we don’t have a single sample in the song. Even the chipmunk-esque vocals in the back, are Mark’s voice sped up to give it that College Dropout feel that’s been totally forgotten.

That’s when you know you have real talent!

[MP3] Max Minelli – Dope Boy Chad

Title track from Baton Rouge rapper, Max Minelli‘s Dope Boy Chad mixtape. I like this one (check out the entire Dope Boy Chad mixtape HERE if you do too). Arrogant Southern swag sh-t but check that real hip-hop turntable scratching at the end. Speaking of which….
