British producer Skitz made one video for both singles for his album Sticksman. The real treat is “Born Inna System” which starts at 1:20. Buggsy rips  apart the reggae beat with a demented double time flow. Get the audio here.

Erik L – Push It Up (ft. Frank n Dank).

Swedish producer Erik L’s left-field beats are light on samples and heavy on synths and electric bass. Given the guest appearance from Frank n Dank, “Push It Up” is easily mistaken for some long lost Dilla shit. This comes from The Soularp Suite which is composed, produced, engineered and mastered by Erik L and is out now. Peep his joint with Sene for some more ill kaleidoscope rap.

Eternia & MoSS – It’s Funny (ft. Joell Ortiz).

The two most strikingly original MCs of 2010 are white: Yelawolf and Eternia.

A white woman from Toronto, Eternia is the last person you would expect to demolish a track with Joell Ortiz. And yet, her brutally personal rhymes almost make Joell sound stale. Eternia explores the female rapper experience from a boom bap angle.

Eternia & Moss – At Last drops June 15. Check out her mixtape.

Chin – Mask on My Face (ft. K’Naan) (DJ Khalil Remix).

DJ Khalil laces fellow New Royales member Chin with a remix of his single “Mask on My Face.” Khalil’s beat for this R&B joint is a lighter take on the demonic bangers he handed out to rappers in 2009. Chin’s album D’Tach drops April 6.

B.o.B. – Bet I Bust (Remix ft. T.I. & Playboy Tre)

Best track off the May 25th mixtape gets a ferocious verse from T.I. tacked on. B.o.B., Tre and Tip rip a stuttering electronic beat by Kuttah to pieces. This is apparently supposed to appear on The Adventures Of B.o.B., which drops on April 27th after years of delays.

Download: B.o.B. – Bet I Bust (ft.T.I. & Playboy Tre)

He also recently dropped a remix of his hit single(!) “Nothin’ On You” with Big Boi. It’s dope but where’s Dre? This is exactly the kind of song 3000 was killing 4 years ago.

9thmatic (9th Wonder) & Khrysis – It’s On (produced by DJ Premier).

(image)

9th Wonder (rapping under the name 9thmatic) and Khrysis flex their lyrical muscle over a standard DJ Premier beat. 9th is more comfortable on the mic than I would have expected. Weird to see three producers on one track and only one of them is producing.
