Lady Sovereign Ft. Missy Elliot

Remixes can be very very tricky; you either love them or hate them. So, it was to my great pleasure to hear this remixed (more like 'redone') version of Lady Sov's already flawless track. This time Missy gets her little cameo and puts in her two cents while Sovereign's verse is a bit tweaked and re-rapped. All of this makes it bigger and better (Now if only she would go back and re-do the stupid music video). Love it or hate it, it's still an obsession. Word, Sovvy. Word.

Cobra Starship

Earlier on I posted the song by Cobra Starship that was the title theme to Snakes On A Plane. Now, with Cobra Starship releasing the debut album While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets, I felt it appropriate to share one of my favorite tracks. Being one of the less loud & out there songs, The Kids Are All Fucked Up is synth driven with a catchy melody (catchy melodies are my thing so I'm loving it). And despite the vulgar title you'll find the song is actually kind of sweet. kind of, I said.

M.I.A.

After a very unnecessary lack of posts, I'm back back back. And with a good post too! Thanks to the lovely ways of the Internets, M.I.A.'s new track has leaked! It's a different side of her that I'm excited to hear more of. Her voice sounding a little sexy/raspy and whaT!? she's not rapping about politics or guerrillas!? She's turned her obligatory horn into a synthesized hybrid and it's sounding better than ever. Diplo sampled some of her new stuff (including this track) during a DJ set he did a couple weeks ago but the samples were cut out of the downloadable version, so this is a real treat. Love's Maya.

"where were you in '92?"
