Throwback Thursday feat. Jay-Z, Blu, 2Pac, Andrew Bird, Big Z Remixes, The Hood Internet, Mr. Little Jeans (Arcade Fire cover)
I don't know where my Mike & Sebastian have been, but I've been getting my ass kicked by summer class and work...not much of summer for me yet. But these tunes help. I've listened to all of these and I'm willing to vouch for each one. The Big Z remix is unreal with a kind of old school feel. Meek Mill on Ham Music is making me anticipate Self Made even more, which drops next Tuesday. Wale, Rick Ross, and Jeremih go in sooo well over a slower Lex Luger beat for That Way. [...]

"Best Day Ever (Remix feat Mac Miller Notorious B.I.G.)" - Big Z Remixes I'm still in a hangover from the Best Day Ever, and the fralbum is all I've been listening to recently. Last night, Big Z hit me up about this new remix of Mac's final track on the fralbum, "BDE Bonus." I didn't make the beat or anything, I just added a Biggie verse and a couple synth parts Regardless of how similar it is to [...]
Two Big Z songs in less than 24 hours on Sunset? I love it. This one features a Sunset favorite, Fortune Family , it has a really mellow vibe to it, and Big Z made an interesting decision to switch up the order of the verses, dropping Oncue's first, Hop's verse 2nd, and then Reef's verse. With a nice introductory piano riff followed by some bass and a great horn section, Big Z puts a really unique twist on this one and it sounds great. This has gotta [...]
We've been holding down Zach Caraher, aka Big Z Remixes, on Sunset in the Rearview since day one. Beginning with our exclusive release of Slow Down , and our post of his first, self-titled album, we haven't heard anything that we haven't loved from him. On March 15th, he will be dropping his new mixtape, 'Never Change.' Yesterday, he released a new single off of the upcoming album, a remix of Kanye and Common's classic "Get 'Em High." Ratatat did a great version as well, and Big Z really puts a unique twist on this [...]
Big Z Remixes have been on my radar for a bit now, and I've yet to be disappointed by something this kid puts out. With similar fashion to Brenton Duvall, the man's got consistency on his side. The production is taken care of by Big Z , as he borrows some bars from Jay-Z to lay on top. Check out some of his past material if you're feeling this one. Download: Big Z Remixes - Never Change (feat. Jay-Z)
So Big Z has some good news-his new mixtape "Never Change" will drop on March 15th. I've been a huge Big Z fan since I first hear him: he has a unique ability to take hip-hop acapellas and turn them into something completely new. Often, he can take a great rap acapella and turn it into easy listening music, such as "Slow Down" with Lupe Fiasco. Other times, he can turn mean acapellas into even meaner songs, such as "We Major" with Kanye West. Any way you look at it, Zach Caraher aka Big Z is [...]
You better believe that if I'm going to put up a remix of one of my all time favorite Jay songs, it better be freakin' ear thumpin'. Big Z has taken this classic track and added his own sound to it. He kept it classy like San Diego, energy filled like Carnival, and smooth like Fonzie. Download for sure, let's gooooooooo. mp3: Jay-Z -Never Change (Big Z Remix)
"Sometimes (feat. Asher Roth)" - Big Z Remixes by Sunset in the Rearview Sunset in the Rearview was recently listed as one of the Top 100 Indie Music Blogs on the internet , and when I was asked to answer a few questions about why people should listen to independent music, I mentioned the creativity that the indie scene allows. What I forgot to mention in this regard, though, is how entrepreneurial the independent music scene is. There are opportunities every day in the indie world that, [...]
Remember the song "Classic" by Big Z Remixes ? Well, turns out that the beat for that song was originally intended for Canadian rapper Ish . I hadn't ever heard of this rapper before, but it sounds like, as a duo, these two could be onto something! Looking forward to hearing future compilations from them! What do yall think?

Random new track dropped on us today by ChromeWhip friend Big Z. You know he always brings the fire to his remixes and this is no exception. Pretty unique track, tough to write about it other than that I like it. Big Z Remixes - Classic (feat. Kanye West & Nas) snipe him on facebook (For PCs: To download track right click track title and click "save link as") (For Macs: To download track control click on the title and click "save link as") [...]
"Classic (ft. Kanye West & Nas) - Big Z Remixes Big Z Remixes is back with…yet again…another wonderful track. I cannot get enough of this kid's music. It blows my mind every time that he's just a high schooler, challenging the big dogs like Kanye and Nas and turning their music into something totally different and often times more enjoyable than the original. Big Z needs to become a producer. In fact, G.O.O.D. Music needs to sign Big Z. That's what really needs to [...]
At Noise Narcs, we hate 16-year-olds. They're loud. They're prone to flash mobs . They use words we don't understand. They drive faster than the posted speed limit. They're always hitting their balls on our lawn. In fact, there's only one thing we hate more than 16-year-olds: 16-year-olds who disguise their age. A few weeks ago, we got an email from Zach Caraher, who identified himself as a producer from Philadelphia with a new mixtape dropping on September 22nd. So hey: I like the music and [...]
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Big Z was dropping a new album filled with his own remixes this week; and wouldn't you know, it dropped today. Just an awesome collection of remixes to popular songs. Big Z puts a unique spin on everything, and somehow, the vast majority of it is pure audio gold. Listen to the absurd intro featuring Tupac below, and download the mixtape in it's entirety. Download: Big Z Remixes - Slow Down (Mixtape) [via]
EXCLUSIVE RELEASE: Slow Down, Big Z Remixes Have you ever found an amazing pair of jeans…only to realize that these gems might just look better as jorts? So you proceeded to cut them up, putting your own style into them, perhaps fraying the edges just as you'd like them to look. And somehow, they come out perfectly . The originals were awesome, but you created a beautiful new look that others can only manage [...]
I'm way behind on this mixtape, but I figured I might as well share it with you late than not share it with you at all. Big Z is a 16 year old out of Philly that is quickly making a name for himself with his creative remixes. If you follow the blog, you probably noticed that we posted "Slow Down" a couple of days ago, a quick teaser of his upcoming mixtape, which drops tomorrow. Hit some of the highlights below, and download Tell It Like It Is in it's entirety, to serve as a [...]
