[Hip-Hop] Kanye West x Urban Noize – Mr. West

Posted by Carlos Fernandez - July 24, 2012

On their latest project, titled Mr. West, Urban Noize has managed to transform Yeezy classics into summertime ballads. There’s a new beat for all the kids to enjoy on this mixtape, from drums to saxophone lines that would have Coltrane jumping out his seat. With choir vocals, covering Radiohead’s Creep, backed by a clean snare drum line, Urban is able to capture Kanye’s Forever verse in a whole new mind set. Urban Noize did a great job at keeping the entire tape smooth and fresh just in time for this hot weather.

Check out a couple standout tracks below and download the whole project free here: Urban Noize x Kanye West – Mr. West.

[Hip-Hop] Mellowhype – La Bonita

Posted by Carlos Fernandez - July 18, 2012

The Pretty Girl is Mellowhype’s attempt at a new single. Left Brain creates a Caribbean production with thick bass to compliment the xylophone keys. Hodgy jumps in to talk about his “Puerto Rican mama” and his other Hispanic women. As with recent Mellowhype releases, this is another great release but so far the theme and creative lyricism is what is driving this to be my favorite.

[Hip-Hop] Wiz Khalifa – Different Cloth ft. Busta Rhymes (Prod. Sledgren)

Posted by Carlos Fernandez - July 10, 2012

Busta Rhymes teams up with the Taylor Gang General to create a heavy synthed symphony of gangsta rap. Busta uses a mean delivery to start off the song, maybe fueled by recent altercations with Charlamagne, and Wiz picks up with his trademark smooth sung chorus. They make for an interesting collabo in the end and is one for a laidback summer night’s playlist.
