A couple of weeks ago Al Azif unleashed his new single, one of the summer smashes of the summer 2011, 'Sick In Head' featuring Gnucci Banana and Crossfire. And if you're familiar with Al Azif in the past you also know of his remixes but never before has someone remixed his own material, until now that is.
So, here goes the official remix pack of 'Sick In Head' featuring a progressive house remix by Alaa, a dirty house remix by Mike Emilio & Kastriot Bela and a unofficial mash-up with Elephant Man. Download them all, for free below:

Kreayshawn - 'Gucci Gucci' Official Single Release
Tuesday, 14 June 2011
So, after the tune has been on soundcloud for five months here finally comes the official single release of Kreayshawn's 'Gucci Gucci', the DJ Two Stack's produced highly infectious smash.
Cop it over at iTunes or Amazon.

Lil Wayne - 'Dear Anne (Stan pt. 2)' (prod. by Swizz Beatz)
Karen Civil liberates 'Dear Anne', the much talked about collaboration between Lil' Wayne and Swizz Beatz, the track that heavy samples tATu's '30 Minutes' was inspired by Eminem's classic 'Stan'.
And no, this will most likely NOT be featured on the upcoming "Tha Carter IV" which is now (just as I predicted) slated for a release at the end of the summer, the 27th August. Listen to 'Dear Anne' after the jump:
Lady Leshurr - "Friggin L" Mixtape
Monday, 13 June 2011
After the great "L-Day" release from February, I must say oh how I've waited for another one of Lady Leshurr's great mixtapes!
Lesh is one of very few rappers that actually has this capability to be this versatile, she always deliver what ever she might dive into, like when she does her cover of the Diplo/Afrojack-produced Chris Breezy-tune 'Look At Me Now'. There's a reason why this has so many views, Lesh pack, seals and deliver, esp. around "Busta's" part 1:50 and over at 03:25 #BOOM:
Yeah. So without further due, here goes "Friggin L" where Lesh gives tunes by Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Tinchy Stryder and many more the Lesh style-treatment, peep the complete tracklist and grab the tape below:
Adam Tensta - 'Scared of the Dark' Official Video
A week late, but better late then never right? Here it goes, the official video for Adam Tensta's lead single off his second album "Scared of the Dark" featuring Billy Kaven.

Watch after the jump and keep your eyes peeled for the official remix pack of the track dropping soon:
Drake - 'Marvin's Room', Announce "Take Care" Release Date & Features on SBTRKT Remix
Friday, 10 June 2011
I know I've slept on Drake lately. That new song he released a couple of weeks ago called 'Dreams Money Can Buy' never really got to me, but this one that dropped while I was asleep last night, proper Drake. 'Marvin's Room' is produced by Noah '40' Shebib and Drake also took the time to announce that the first official single release from his upcoming second album "Take Care" will drop in July and that the album will land on shelves the 24th of October.
Then it's this little hot ass tune by SBTRKT that I think has become my beach tune for this summer. 'Wildfire' originally featured Yukimi Nagano from the Swedish indie electron group Little Dragon, however Drake steps on the remix and even if the whole setup of Drake, SBTRKT and Yukimi is quite odd, it works oh so well.
Listen and download both cuts below:
In Wait for "Go! Pop! Bang!" Rye Rye Unleash 'Never Will Be Mine' ft. Robyn
Thursday, 9 June 2011
Yes, after Rye Rye released her massive "RYEot PowRR"-mixtape back in February I also hoped that June 14th would be the final push back date of Rye Rye's long awaited debut album "Go! Pop! Bang!" but sadly it's not. The album is pushed back yet again and the new and final release date will be announced in the coming weeks, hopefully it will be out before the end of summer?
But there's no need for tears as she just released a new single featuring the one and only: Robyn. 'Never Will be Mine' heavy samples Robyn's smash hit 'Be Mine!' from her self titled album "Robyn" that dropped back in 2005 over here in Scandinavia and in 2008 in the rest of the world. Apparently a video for the single is also in the works.
Listen to 'Never Will Be Mine' below and buy it off iTunes or Amazon.
Kreayshawn Officially Signs to Columbia Records, 'Drum N Based' x Starrset & K.FLAY's 'Gucci Gucci' Remix
So after rumours flying around like crazy, it's now official! East Oakland's Natassia "Kreayshawn" Zolot has officially signed with Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. Of course, after it became official some wastemen try to get some shine and steal the thunder, just look how someone named Dukems raise his voice in RR's comment field, claiming that Kreayshawn stole 'Gucci Gucci' from him, and that she owes him... yeah #Curtain.
Dukems, you know what? Long before you did your mixtape, Enur did the "Gucci Gucci Prada Prada" in 2008 on "Raggatronic" with The Chopper City Boyz & Nicki Minaj in 'Ucci Ucci' so well, who's the biter again?
Well, back to the good (and relevant) news, the signing! Crossing my fingers that this major deal will be a good thing, allowing Kreayshawmn to do what she does, be the creative genius she is and not go all downhill like Lady Soveriegn did when she was signed with Jay-Z.
Kreayshawn's 'Gucci Gucci' drops via digital retailers next week on Tuesday the 14th of June and her forthcoming full-length debut album is due later this year. Until then, enjoy these two goodies I managed to find when I did a little raid in the inbox. First a nice little nice bassy gem from Starrset called 'Drum N Based' and second this remix by K.FLAY of 'Gucci Gucci':

Adam Tensta x Street Fighter 3 & Bankmenn ft. Joey & Adam Tensta - 'Dra Hjem!'
While we wait for the official video of Adam tensta's 'Scared of the Dark' to drop, let's enjoy some other nice goodies. You all know how much I LOVE Nintendo/video game-oozing music right?

Darq E Freaker - "Cherryade" EP & Waka x Cherryade (Sinden Edit)
This people is the reason why I LOVE Sinden!
Take one of the best grime instrumentals there is, Darq E Freaker's 'Cherryade' ("Cherryade" EP is available now from Oil Gang, buy here or stream/download the EP below) and infuse it with some Waka Flocka and you have an instant banger. Reminds me of when DJ Semtex did his amazing "Crunk & Grime" record.

The Cataracs ft. Dev - 'Top of the World' (Benzi x eSenTRik Remix) off Benzi's "Motivation 4"
Tuesday, 7 June 2011
Even if Benzi has been busy the whole year and. esp Friday's at 9 pm with his a Mike Posner's Show the name DJ Benzi sort of signifies summer for me. So here goes the first offer from the 4th edition of the "Motivation"-series that will land in full later this month.
This Benzi & eSenTRik remix to The Cataracs & Dev's smash 'Top of the World' takes it to the club again and I'm ashamed hate that I've slept on Dev for so long, the girl is brilliant (if you don't know, SHE created Far East Movement's anthem 'G6' with her 'Booty Bounce') cant wait for her debut album "The Night the Sun Came Up" to drop the 20th of September.
Grab the 'Top of the World' remix off the soundcloud below and if you're in Las vegas on Thursday (9th of June) come party with Benzi & The Cataracs at Nikki Beach @ The Tropicana pool!

KiD CuDi - 'Perfect is the Word' (prod. by Dot da Genius) off "Wizard" & 'Marijuana' Official Video
Thursday, 2 June 2011
I like to be honest so let's not sugar coat shit. I've been dreading this moment ever since KiD CuDi announced that he was gonna jump on the rock/rap-bandwagon. The first offer from his upcoming album "Wizard" (which is expected to drop sometime this summer) landed in my inbox yesterday morning and I've been afraid to listen to it ever since then. The track, 'Perfect is the Word' is produced by the almighty, Dot da genius, and well, it isn't that bad actually. Could definitely see it a as grower. Listen and judge yourself after the jump.
Here's also (finally) the official visuals for 'Marijuana' (also produced by Dot da Genius) one of the better tracks off CuDi's sopohomore album "Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager", shot and directed by Shia LaBeouf:

Wiley - 'Numbers in Action' EP Release, Free Dobie Remix & "100% Publishing" Pre-order
Saturday, 28 May 2011
May the return to Big Dad be the grand saviour of Wiley's career? Will it bring the perfect balance between grime and commercial success? It might be, cause "100% Publishing" looks well promising on paper, light years better than "Playtime's Over" that made him and BD part ways after the album was released in 2007.
The release date of "100% Publishing" has been pending from the 27th of June 'til the 4th of July but the final date is now set to the 20th of June (pre-order the album off iTunes or Amazon). I'm still hoping to get blown away "Treddin' on Thin Ice"-style and "100% Publishing" is written, produced and mastered in its entirety by the man himself, no Bless Beats or any other electro fuckery around to ruin it (HOPEFULLY).
And I must say, I like the first single that dropped last month, 'Numbers in Action'. Yes, we all know that Dizzee did the 1337-speak thing on his "Maths + English" from 2007 but it doesn't matter when the end result is this good. The single EP of 'Numbers in Action' drops on Monday (pre-order iTunes & Amazon) with remixes from Sticky, Toddska (Toodla+Roska), ZDot and the latest signing to the Big Dada-family: Dobie.
Grab Dobie's remix free below courtesy of BD.

Vybz Kartel Issues a Public Statement
Due to the past weeks controversy regarding Vybz Kartel, skin bleaching and the whole cake soap-gate, he now issues a public statement (which is quite long) read it in full below:
"Many of you have heard or seen the recent accusations made by my former associates in the past few weeks. I don’t know why all of these individuals, think the most appropriate action to take after a philosophical difference occurs is to go to the press and attack me.
I can only say that I am reminded of Bob Marley’s admonishments when he said man is so unjust, you don’t know who to trust…your best friend can turn out to be your worst enemy…I shall say no more, other than who the cap fit, mek them wear it. I am issuing this statement because I think these accusations are due to a breach of confidentiality as certain individuals got wind of my upcoming projects and initiatives and they know they can’t stop me without resorting to underhanded tactics. (continue after the jump)
Nicki Minaj - 'Did It On 'Em' Official Video
Nicki Minaj recently wrapped up the "I am Still Music"-tour with the Young Money-crew, will soon head out with Britney Spears for the "Femme Fatale"-tour and earlier this week she told US Magazine that next year, 2012 she'll be finally headlining her own "Pink Friday"-tour. I'm crossing my fingers and toes hoping it will grace other parts of the world as well and not just the United States.
Speaking of the "I am Still Music"-tour for that matter, here goes the internet version of the official video for one of the best tracks off "Pink Friday", the Bangladesh-produced 'Did It On 'Em', "directed" by DJ Scoob Doo. Uhm, yeah, you'll understand when you see it:

The wait is over, here's finally the official and confirmed tracklist for Beyoncé's 4th album "4" as well as the new single '1+1' that she premiered a moment ago on American Idol.

Beyoncé - 'Run the World (Girls)' Live on Oprah's Last Show
Tuesday, 24 May 2011
It's the end of an era... Yes, yesterday the first part of the very last episode ever of Oprah's show aired and yesterday Beyoncé graced the show with a performance of 'Run the World (Girls)' the very first telecast performance of the song (since it was taped before the Billboard Music Awards held Sunday's). Seriously, the intros of both performances made me so fucking warm from the inside.
Beyoncé _is_ the mainstream equivalent to Kathleen Hanna for the 21nd Century. All hail Beyoncé:
Billboard Music Awards Performances by Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna & Britney Spears
Monday, 23 May 2011

Mash Up International ft. Gnucci Banana - 'Animal' Official Single Release
Yes, the 23rd of May 2011, today might be all about Lady GaGa and the release of "Born this Way"... However, I'm not that stoked to be honest, even turned down the secret listening party I was invited to Friday's, I dunno, but "Born this Way" doesn't excite me, at all. What this thing about no features? But well, the album will contain a couple of hits, I'm sure about it but today brings even greater things to the table.
Like this for example, the official single release of Mash Up International's and Gnucci Bananana's tropical anthem 'Animal'.
Released via At Bay Music/Sony and cop over at iTunes, Amazon and listen via Spotify
Beyoncé - 'Till the End of Time', "4" Album Cover & Release Date
Saturday, 21 May 2011
How ironic that the stream of Beyoncé's (most likely) second single from "4", 'Til the End of Time' leaked online today, the doomsday? However, we're not into post-apocalyptic state so it's time that the world stop listen to deranged old men like Harold Camping once and for all.
Here's also the official cover of "4" which now has a definitive release date the 24th of June (in UK the 27th and the US the 28th, pre-order here), stunning photo of Bey on the album cover but whoever edited it, well, even white skinned me is darker than that, photoshop got your brain?
But I must say, I really really like 'Til the End of Time', even if 'Run the World (Girls)' was a hard cookie to melt at first listen this is whole another deal with Diplo on the production.
Listen below and yes, it's all tagged up for now:
Amplify Dot ft. Kano - 'Semantics' Official Video & Single Release
Amplify Dot's verse on 'Game Over Female Takeover' still echoes in my mind quite often and you can be sure you'll see much more of this lady in the near future. Earlier this week she was in the studio with Ski Beats (who produced tracks for Jay Z's "Reasonable Doubt"), laid a verse on a new feature with Little Dee and after her 'Born Ready'-single that dropped around a month ago here goes the follow up called 'Semantics'.
'Semantics' features Kano and will drop next month, but until then here goes the official video directed by Schoque:
Katy B - 'Easy Please Me' Official Video & Single Release
Next to the three previous singles and the astonishing 'Witches Brew', The Magnetic Man-produced 'Easy Please Me' is easily my absolute favourite tune from Katy B's debut album "On a Mission".

If you're not already familiar with the lady called Kreaysahwn, well, get ready. This bad bitch from Northern California. Young East Oakland has much on her plate: director, cinematographer, editor, DJ, pixel artist, rapper... But yes, let's focus on the last one.
Kreayshawn was born into a musical household. Her mother was in a girl punk-surf fusion band called The Trash Women and they toured all over Europe & Japan and Kreayshawn followed. When she was 5 she had wrote and performed her own song 'Boys are Toys' with them. Four years later, when she was around 9 years old she had a step dad who was a rapper/DJ.

Calvin Harris ft. Kelis - 'Bounce' Official Video & Dub Pilot Remix
Beyoncé cancelled the world premiere of her 'Run the World (Girls)'-video at the last minute but there's no need for tears, here's another great one instead.

Wowza! Haha might be the first time I've ever used that word, however, Nicki Minaj's verse of this brand new track from DJ Webstar leaked last spring and ever since then I've been longing for the full single and whoop, here it is.
