Watch out for this one coming on Big Z's next mixtape, it's gotta good start so far...

Happy Monday, y'all! Here's some heat to start your week! Ps- that's a pic of...
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 [...]
Here's the latest piece of work from rap remixer Big Z leading up to this 3/15 release Never Change with the easy-to-enjoy "Get 'Em High" taking the familiar 'Ye track and putting a rather celebratory sound to it. In anticipation of his fourth mixtape, Z by now as established a well-solidified signature sound - flaunting the ability to turn rough hip hop into music that could put a baby to sleep. Check out the previously-released title track as well, and download his previous mixtapes here ... Download: Big Z - [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A great song from Big Z, he mixes Noisettes song and applies Asher Roth's accapela that he encouraged people to remix in a contest. Check out Big Z's Facebook Page to support Big Z in this contest and his music career. Big Z - Sometimes (Remix)

A posse cut for the club, Give You My Number sees a host of UK spitters team up to get flossy. The video features lots of pairs of sunglasses, at least one Louis V/Gucci rag, posturing with smartphones and Bigz, who used to run with Sway but seems to be collabing with S.A.S. a lot of late.
Dear Readers, 2010 has come and gone, but there are still lists pouring out into the internet. This is (most likely) Sunset in the Rearview's last list, but it's not to be ignored. This one was written by D Prep and it features the Top 10 Mixtapes of 2010. The great part about this? All of these tapes are available for free (and legal) download. To do so, click on the picture of the album artwork. May I also add that I gave D Prep power to choose the mixtapes and put them in order. This [...]
Eurogang (S.A.S, Bigz, Haze and Villain) reinforce thefact they are the most prominent rap crew in Europe once again by collabing with Germany's biggest independent rap artist, Kollegah! [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
iSH was at a session the night before last and decided to record something to put out for free. The outcome is this Big Z produced track titled "Tomorrow They Will". This is also the 1st release off of iSH & Big Z's upcoming collaborative freEP which is currently untitled without a release date. But it's coming soon. Check out "Tomorrow They Will" below. iSH - Tomorrow They Will (via bandcamp) iSH - Tomorrow They Will [...]
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") [...]
Whaddup kids. The boys running this joint asked me to bring my talents to their website, and I've happily obliged. I'm going to jump right into the action and recommend a few cuts that I've been digging lately, along with some colorful comments and fun facts. Download 'Runaway ft. Nas' HERE Some dude named Big Z who remixes songs got to work on the track that Kanye premiered at the VMAs, and, lucky me, mashed that shit up very cleanly with "Life's a Bitch" from Nas (a track one of [...]
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]
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 [...]
These days everyone does remixes, but not quite like Big Z. Out of Philly, this 16 year old (yeah) puts his own spin on some major verses using a unique approach. He keeps things pretty simple, but focuses on crisp melodies that range from Scott Storch styled keyboards to Passion Pit styled synths. These aren't the kind of beats that you'd ever imagine hearing Asher Roth and Lil Wayne collaborate on, which is part of the reason that it's so captivating. Big Z Remixes - The Reading (ft. Asher Roth, Lil Wayne) | YouSendIt [...]
Big Z, the monicher of Zach Caraher, just sent us over 33 minutes of glorious remixes. The remix album is a beautiful thing, but unlike the mash-up album, there are fewer turds floating in the water. Mash-up albums can be glorious (think Mos Dub or Jaydiohead ), but a lot of the time you can get some pretty dire stuff. Remix Albums though are taken on by more seasoned pros, and this Rap one by Biz Z follows in the great footsteps of Hip Hop producing legends Ratatat, who have [...]
