    BDKMVRMXboomshots
    OK so… the same day Mrs. Carter tells the world to “Bow Down,” Jay and Kendrick decide to roll out this official BDKMB RMX? Overkill? You bet. Too much ain’t enough, apparently. “Lookin’ to be the God MC,” K-Dot rhymes, “Look at my hat and see thorns there. Look at the game and see porn there.” Yeah Kendrick fucks with it hard. And Jay does what he does, presenting his verse from the Bombardier Challenger 850 that B gave him for Father’s Day. “Up in the clouds, me and my spouse.” And yeah that turbulence in the air might just be a touch of competitive juices flowing. Peep the Jordan and Kobe cover art then judge for yourself. Audio After The Jump… (more…)

  • HEAR THIS: Stylo G “Soundbwoy” Original Version + Di Genius Remix

    HEAR THIS: Stylo G “Soundbwoy” Original Version + Di Genius Remix

    Smell Something Burning? Must Be Them Speaker Boxes

    “Tell them to pick up the pace—we a run the place” are the opening lines to Stylo G’s new single, and he ain’t wrong. Without a doubt, Stylo’s stuff has continued to escalate to the next level —I’m sure he’s keeping his competition on constant tiptoes. From “Call Mi a Yardie” to “Dash Out” to “Press Up” this dancehall South Londoner ain’t half bad yunno! On a serious note Stylo’s catalogue is shaping up to be a very good variety of very good music—which, frankly, is what it’s all about—but we’re not mad at the swag that comes with it! The new track is his first release on the 3Beat Records/Universal label, same team behind the recent success of such artists as Skepta, Sway & Duck Sauce. The original mix was produced by the Dutch crew Diztortion, and as an extra treat Stylo teamed up with Di Genius for a yardstyle remix. I gotta feeling things in Stylo’s world right now ain’t half bad either… Audio After the Jump…

  • HEAR THIS: Noah Powa ft. Beniton “Tight”

    Oh No They Didn’t! Yep, They Sure Did. Pree The XXX-Rated Remix of Rihanna’s “Diamonds”
    RihannaTightBOOM    Rihanna has said from the get-go that “Diamonds” is a special song to her, stirring up emotions deep insde. When Kanye jumped on the remix he did so respectfully, dropping bars about parking the Delorean outside Armani emporium and having sex in the shower. But then a couple of dancehall reprobates came along and dealt with the tune from a whole different angle, showing no respect whatsoever. They switched “bright” to “tight” and “diamond” to “tie man” and now it sounds like “Birthday Cake” part 2. “Diamonds” nuh good again! You won’t be hearing this one on the radio, but when it drops in the dance everyTING tun up.  Audio After The Jump… (more…)

  • HEAR THIS: Christopher Martin ft. Jim Jones “Cheaters Prayer” (Official Remix)

    The Capo Spits Game Over ZJ Chrome’s Cardiac Strings Riddim… While Chris Prays For Strength
    ChrisMartinJimJonesBoom

    The power of “Cheaters Prayer” doesn’t just flow from its soaring melody and ZJ Chrome’s bubbling “Cardiac Strings” riddim, The song’s real magic lies in the delicate balance of the singer’s presumed innocence and his player tendencies. Is the guy really praying for strength or is he using God as an excuse for his wayward ways? That balance gets thrown into a whole new light on this new remix featuring Jim Jones. This isn’t one of those cut and splice mashup jobs, this is an official remix. The Dipset Capo’s hard-boiled Harlem game makes Martin’s lyrics sound even more innocent, but his stunts are brazen that ladies are going to view the whole argument with even more skepticism than normal. Unless it’s true that girls love the bad boys, in which case it’s all good.   Audio After The Jump…
