JON LORENZO – RENEGADE SOUND

Hometown Heroes own Jon Lorenzo breaks from behind the cobwebs to give us a super energetic fully charged mix that is guaranteed to keep you moving & grooving from the beginning to the end.

Upbeat rap & oldschool music you don’t normally hear mixed together. Unreleased (extended) version of my hip hop/electro mix from January 2009.

Applications used: ProTools and Serato

I’ll say! He even threw yours truly on there rockin over the Mr.Oizo Flat Beat (I seriously have no recollection of this what so ever) Anyways… it’s a dope mix that you should ALL have while you work out, since you ALL are in the gyms going IN since you ALL made your New Years Resolutions right? hahahaha I keed. I keed. Peep tho…

VIDEO:M.I.A. STORY TO BE TOLD

Nowadays we never will know what will come next from Miss M.I.A. Her album MAYA was a pretty big leap into a direction most of us weren’t expecting. The first video caused a stir of course and second was pretty interesting too. This third, “Story To Be Told” is trippy, but fitting for the song. Partake.

VIDEO: M.I.A. – XXXO

Lately dear Maya (not our Mai) has been receiving a lot of flack from the industry and her fans. Though her new album isn’t my cup-o-tea it’s not entirely bad. All artists go through at least ONE transitional album. This video is a clear example she’s trying to switch it up. Directed by the illustrious Hype Williams looks like a bit of her sexy is trying to peek out.

M.I.A. – XXXO

My #2 favorite Maya (#1 is my boo Maiya , #3 is Maya Angelou) actually dropped a preview of this joint last night on some overseas radio show, but I wake up this morning to a CDQ of her new joint “XXXO” from her upcoming album dropping this summer. M.I.A. is an artist’s artist so I expect you all to give this a few spins off top. In my opinion, everyone seems to be utilizing this double-1st-single technique, one to cater to the real heads and one to the radio. You guess which one this is and which one Born Free was. Partake.
