ANOTHER PART OF MJ: MICHAEL JACKSON REMAKES, REMIXES & RE-EDITS VOL 1 & 2

Our Peoples over at illvibe are always keeping it fresh. Dj lil’ Dave is really putting it down with the Best Michael Jackson Tribute Mix HANDS DOWN…Yeah i said it! I’ve heard a lot of MJ mixes and i like “Another part of MJ: Michael Jackson Remakes, Remixes & Re-Edits ” the most. What’s fresh about it is that instead of playing all the obvious classics we all know and love, he pulled together all the remixes, remakes, re-redits, b-sides, and demos he could find. The result is a mix of hiphop, reggae, house, samba, boogie, and of course some soul.

So I was juiced in search of the track listing to find out there was another mix He put out in the anniversary of the Late Great King!

THE KICKDRUMS – THERE MIGHT BE BLOOD EP

To borrow a line from my brother NO, this shit is banging like crip-related elephants out this piece. I’m a hip-hop head to the grave, but it’s something about well-pieced rock with an undertone of hip-hop that just speaks to my soul! You know, it’s the same feeling that made the Neptunes venture into N.E.R.D. territory. Furthermore, The Kickdrums sound is fairly unrelated to any group I can think of off the top of my head, and they make it all sound so simple yet sooooo good. Check out another track from the EP entitled “Merry Go Round” and then partake!

BLIND I PRESENTS THE NEPTUNES – DECEMVIR

Snoop Dogg – Pass It Pass It (Feat. Pharrell) (Advance Version)

I’ve been working on this for a LOOOONG time and I finally completed another masterpiece. For those not in the know, The Neptunes are a record production duo consisting of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, who are credited with contributing the sound for some successful Hip hop, R&B and Pop artists in the late-90s and 2000s. The Neptunes’ sound is a distinctive brand of off-kilter, stripped-down electronic funk. Along with Timbaland and Dr. Dre they were the driving force behind many of the musical characteristics of late-90s/2000s hip-hop, helping to re-introduce sci-fi style sounds into the hip-hop mainstream, along with sounds from Middle Eastern and Asian music including percussion and woodwind.

I decided a few months back to make a collection of my favorite rare, b-side, and unreleased Neptunes production, from 1999 to 2009, in order to create a dedication to over 10 years of next-level music that still stands the test of time. I swear listening to these tracks puts you in a state of mind where everything’s better around you. Decemvir, which is the latin term for “ten“, is used to describe this decade of incredible works from the stellar production duo. Their music can speak for itself more than anything I can say, so without further ado, I give you…

KENNA – IMITATION IS SUICIDE (PRODUCED BY RJD2)

Kenna is back, and he’s dropping a new album in September called Land 2 Air Chronicles with Chad Hugo and RJD2 based on Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay on Self-Reliance. Might be too deep for most, but check out this joint just based on the fact that it’s from Kenna’s new project! Duh! No lyrics but if this is the musical quality we can expect coming from this project then Kenna’s got another classic on his hands. Partake, and thanks to theneptunes.org for the joint!
