Here is a rare tune that i came across when dusting off my records – had to remix it. The Fugees in their prime made this tune with Tribe & Busta for the OST of “When we were Kings”. An amazing movie about Muhammed Alis Rumble in the Jungle fight vs George Forman that took place in Zaire in 1974. A tune everybody forgot about, the verses are excellent as a posse cut should be, but i guess they recorded everybody with a different mic, so the vocals all sound different – and i would have taken Lauryns amazing hook too [Send me an Angel] if it would have been included on the Acapella. Too bad, but we laced it with a new beat and new melody and Mama-friendly hook with the vocals of Reggae Legend Johnny Osbourne who covered the Delfonics “Ready or Not” tune in 1972, same as the Fugees did 23 years later. Johnny Osbourne, Muhammed Ali, heroes of the 70ies meet the heroes of the 90ies Fugees, Tribe, Busta all in a mix from 2012.

Impeccable YUM YUM tune from 2008 – has set a lot of floors ablaze. Somehow it keeps following me. Incorporates Gwen McCraes all time classic with a great Jigga verse, that was somehow forgotten. Here you go with the full pumping version. Let me know what you think, internets…
A short moombah gem to burn down the floor when already ablaze and climaxing during the peak of the night. Tried, tested and designed for maximum carnage. Ingredients of this quick blend/mashup/edit: Beatards Tramp version with Big Daddy Kanes John Hamilton sampling classic “Warm it up Kane” providing the Funk, just ask any B-boy. Full Download
A little treat for your mellow moments in summer. Jessie Wares incredible Bobby Caldwell cover spiced up / beat laced with Nas’ Grover Washington sampling piece “Understanding” which didn’t make it on the original Illmatic album. New York Loft After Hour feeling before cellphones, before the webs…

In celebration of our fun filled & music packed Saturdays in July, here is a YUM YUM classic from way, way back. Suzanne Vega on top of a Salaam Remi Beat for Nas[ir Jones] which samples a classic James Brown Beat and is still today one of the hottest beats around. Some call it mashup, some call it remix, some call it edit, bootleg or whatever. I don’t care what you call, i only care if its good or not. Drop a comment and enjoy the fine weather while it lasts.
