The Trap Dojo #43

Before whats sure to be several weeks of Yeezus remixes flooding the dojo, I just had to feature the original with the heaviest trap beat, “Blood on the Leaves”. Featuring beautiful, haunting samples of Nina Simone‘s cover of Billie Holiday‘s “Strange Fruit,” a massive beat from TNGHT‘s “R U Ready” heartbroken autotuned vocals and hard hitting stadium rap, this song encapsulates virtually all Kanye eras and is easily on of the highlights of the album. Next up is Jackal who we have been seeing alot more of lately as his refined trap beats are starting to blow up, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Cop his “Trick/Machine” EP at beatport. The duo of Buzz Trillington and Shooter McNappin always bring the heat on their own, but when they come together its nothing less than an out of control wildfire, with their mashup of UZ’s Trap Shit and The Neptunes. Dis I mention Yeezus remixes? DMNDZ urn it up on the sexy “I’m In It” and tear it back down again. They perfectly rearrange the vocals over a horn, snare and chime heavy trap beat and made it (Dare I say?) a better track than the original. Run the Jewels is the duo of El-P and KillerMike and together have been releasing some killer Hip Hop through Fools Gold Records. Team Bayside High, always keeping it interesting with their remix choices have first a remix of the classic Isley Brother‘s tune “Shout” that you’ll definitely have to turn a little bit louder now. Next is a heavy remix of Chief Keef‘s “Hate Being Sober” with a huge dubby bassline. Alex Young takes on the task of remixing Daft Punk‘s instrumental for Kanye’s “Black Skinhead” and while its a great instrumental track, i found it lacking more of Ye’s lyrics either in verses or hooks. The next bunch are all heavy trunk bangers with some filthy bass lines and all the real trap shit you need to get through another week along with a couple midnight bedroom jams at the end.
