Kanye West made good on his promise to release a new song on Friday with the rich kids posse cut “Monster.” Between joining Twitter and pledging to leak a song every Friday until Christmas, Kanye is making Internet promo his bitch right now. Am I losing it if I think Nicki Minaj’s verse reigns supreme? This is the second of five songs from Kanye and Jay-Z’s EPWatch the Throne, the first being the sloppy “Power” remix. An earlier version was edited, but this is the full, dirty track.
Considering we were one of the first blogs to post the remixes of the 1st single (as well as the Kanye assisted remix), I’m The Shit, off DJ Class’s album, Alameda Coldspring (it’s still bringing us a lot of traffic to this day), it would be criminal if we didn’t post the 2nd single for you (eventually, I know it’s been out for a bit), the fine reader of ML to bump & grind to.
Is 4.20 the new “in” day to flood the internets with dope music (as if on other days there weren’t floods of music already, ha)? Anyway, Diplo compadre Major Lazer hooks up with Santogold Santigold for this track which Lazer aptly describes as something “like a surf rock ragga thingamajig, zeen!’”. Check it out:
I guess it takes Kanye to bless a track with a verse to really catch on. Knobbz let me know recently that our previous post with the OG Remix of the redic club banger is one our most searched posts on google. So, it’s only right we post another remix featuring Kanye. Kinda sick to hear an auto-tuned Kanye shout out Baltimore’s legendary Unruly label.
The Bmore Club legend that brought the legendary Tear Da Club Up (and the only ringtone on my phone.. since like forever.), brings us more fire. These 2 remixes of his single, I’m The Shit from the forthcoming Alameda Coldspring are… well bananas (no Gwen Stefani). If you are at any party, or even a funeral.. play this.
Donnis is someone I’ve been keeping an eye on in the past few months, he’s popped up on a bunch of mixtapes (like this one). His sound is really club friendly, and I’ve liked what I’ve heard so far, here is his latest that came across to ML, thanks to Dan Solomito.
Spotted this first part of a series of shorts over at Mad Decent, it documents ML-fav Diplo & Dark Meat during their unique encounter at SXSW. Check out it for some words from Diplo & some nice in club footage.
After Diplo was nearly killed by Dark Meat’s tour bus at SXSW, the two joined forces, made some music, and played some shows in the South. True story.
