From the production genius who brought you Jaydiohead, that recent yet already classic mashup of Jay-Z and Radiohead, Max Tannone now brings you his newest mashup project “Mos Dub”. Mos Dub is an assortment of classic Mos Def jams with a twist of dub reggae that goes suprisingly smooth with the Mos Def vibe and lyrics. Everything from the album art to the track names are expertly done and bringing a refreshing take to Mos Def. I have long thought Mos Def was one of the most talented rap artists and MC’s out there, yet there are times where I have to admit I feel as if his style could use a little mix up; sometimes I can only really handle Mos Def in small doses. This mashup has remedied that entirely for the time being.

Yea, he’s back. GUCCI. BURRR. He’s actually icey enough that I’m ok with him spittin’ out BURR every 30 secs. on his tracks, it’s better than the DMX ‘dawg’ bark isn’t it? On an unrelated note, it’s dissapointing Gucci can’t tweet in jail, even though Lil Wayne somehow seems to be doing it through his @liltunechi by passing notes to his brother or something. Who knows. Anyways, pretty excited to see Gucci Mane dropping his new album “The Burrprint HD2″ on my birthday next week, April 13th. A lot of the tracks on the album have already been assaulting the air waves pretty hard and I’ve been utterly enjoying it: “Lemonade”, “Spotlight” w/ Usher, and “Wasted” among others.

BURNS, BURNS, BURNS. So many fond memories (or lackthereof) of this man as he played a full two-hour set getting me ready for Deadmau5′ apperance at The Fillmore in Detroit last January. This dude is a madman, and is far and away more talented than he a.)lets on and b.) gets credit for. Now, no offense to BURNS but Deadmau5 did rock the house a little harder than he did, but then again he was opening for him; can’t steal someone’s thunder when it’s not your tour…
But now it’s BURNS time to shine, and boy is he lighting up my ears like a 70’s Disco light show. BURNS has recently released a new EP “So Many Nights” reminiscent of his tour last year of Deadmau5 (yea, I saw him front row…) and is anything but disappointing. keep reading and listen…
There’s a lot of attention to capital letters there, I know. ANYways, you may remember hearing this Duck Sauce jam ANYway featured on the site a month or two ago when I originally posted the How To Make It In America mixtape mixed by DJ Green Lantern and in part by the shows co-star and token NY celebrity, Scott “Kid” Mescudi (Kid Cudi, if you didn’t get the “Kid”…). Duck Sauce, one part DJ A-trak and one part Armand Van Helden, held together by the pseudonym “Duck Sauce” (much like their cohorts Major Lazer–Diplo and Switch) have been, in my opinion, one of the most underrated electronic duos and I’m utterly surprised they haven’t made the rounds around the blogosphere more considering their huge talent level.
Today, however, I bring you fellow under-rated DJ duo LAZRtag (who’s made it on this site with their EP “Never Gonna Stop” before, and their remix of the Duck Sauce groove. The original has got a LOT of funky disco fever as intended by A-trak and Van Helden to remix their favorite vintage disco sounds and tunes. LAZRtag, however, brings their unique power-chord electronic sound while perfectly preserving the vintage disco styling and sound; it makes for an interesting blend of modern fist-pump and boogie instinct.
