Brillz and Z-Trip just teamed up to remix one of the most iconic hip-hop tracks ever "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" from Jay-Z . The take the hip-hop classic and unthinkably smash it into a trap anthem that works unbelievaly well. From Z-Trip offering some traditonal scratching to the raw bass from Brillz, the chemistry between the two is unreal. This is apart of the Trap Nation tape from Imanos over at Jay-Z's Life + Times and you can grab it on the continous mix below, and the download for the remix will [...]
It’s Friday, which means we basically can’t wait to get into bed and sleep all weekend, and also that in the meantime we’re rounding up the best songs we’ve heard this week. The past several days were curious, largely devoid of big-name releases, etc., but there’s still notable new work from These New Puritans, The-Dream, Sharon Jones, and Eric Burdon (with help from Jenny Lewis.) Elsewhere, there’s pleasantly spaced-out electronic music from Airbird/Napolian and Stellar Om Source, an unreleased Arthur Russell track, wacky Ethiopian dubstep, and more! All this goodness is streaming now, and it all awaits you after the [...]
Just in time for warm weather, here's a new song from The-Dream's upcoming IV Play that he rather accurately describes as "Just a Fuckin Real Fun Energetic Summer Song!!!!!!!!!!!" That number of exclamation points is totally necessary, especially if your idea of energetic summer fun parallels that of The-Dream and guest Jay-Z (ie. copious sex and weed). Plus, you get an irresistible, bass-heavy, clubby beat, plenty of hilarious one-liners ("Girl, I'm missin' you like bitches miss my music"), and a great verse from Jay. Check it out - IV Play is out May [...]
Fresh from Brillz and Z-Trip comes a pimped out version of the boss like anthem, "Dirt Off Your Shoulder." My head bobbing hasn't stopped since first play and the synths and scratching have me going absolutely bonkers. If this song didn't already get you hyped, this makeover will definitely do the trick. Although you can find this tune up for free EDM download via Soundcloud, you can also find this track on the new Trap Nation mixtape on Jay-Z's Life+Times blog along with other pimped out songs like it. So if you feelin' like a pimp, goin brush your [...]
You don't need RapGenius annotations for this one, folks. Exhuming an Obama-approved Young Hov' relic, Brillz appropriately brushes the the dust off and breathes new life into Timbaland's tour de force with new age twonk . Fresh off his latest LP , Brillz teams up with the legendary Z Trip for the prized rework. Quick facts on Z Trip: DJ Hero avatar, only producer to have an approved Nirvana remix ("Lounge Act"), has performed in front of 450,000 people, and voted America's Best DJ by DJ Times (2009). Non-ironically, their "Dirt Off Your [...]
I think its about drugs. The Dream - High Art ft. Jay-Z -DOWNLOAD LINK
With its foray into over the top parties, torrid love affairs, death, corruption and alcoholism, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" seems like a match made in heaven for filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. It's almost ironic then, that in an attempt to show off the over-indulgences of the 1920s society, Luhrmann ends up overdoing his own stylistic indulgences. So what seemed like a perfect match, almost ran into a case of "too much of a good thing." But if you can stick with this movie adaptation past its introductory chapters, then you're in for a truly great experience. [...]
The-Dream's second coming is in full swing now it seems, with new album IV Play out this month (28 May), and this booming new tune featuring Mr. Carter AKA Jay Zed. It has elements of extravagant rap to it, but still retains that subtle and pretty melodiousness always heard in Dream tracks:
The Trap Nation compilation just released and this is the standout track from it! Brillz has some of the best synth work in the Trap game. They give this Hip-Hop classic a "Club Friendly" face-lift. Check it out! -Filippo Brillz On: Facebook | Twitter | SoundCloud Z Trip On: Facebook | Twitter | SoundClou Related posts: [...]
Previously, The-Dream had mentioned that his new record IV Play would feature some big names in the industry and on the latest single, "High Art" he wasn't kidding. For this one he snagged Jay-Z to lay down some verses on the chill beat, as The-Dream provides us with those auto-tunes vocals that he has crafted quite well. You can stream the single below and the new record is out May 28th. Fresh? Tweet
Jay-Z and Terius Nash make quite the team. They recently took home a grammy for their collaborative effort "No Church in the Wild," are currently working together for The-Dream's upcoming album , and as a thank you, the talented songwriter will be returning the favor on Jay-Z's new solo album. Have a listen to "High Art," a song in which Nash recruits Hov to basically talk about how cool of lives they have for nearly five minutes. IV Play is available May 28th. The-Dream [...]
It's ironic that this track is called "High Art" when the art itself is inexcusably elementary. Whatever though, the collab is a great look and a great preview for The-Dream's forthcoming LP. - Follow The-Dream: Facebook | Twitter | SoundCloud
El productor y cantante The-Dream prepara su quinto álbum de estudio titulado IV Play y para emocionarnos reveló su nuevo sencillo. La canción se llama "High Art" y es una colaboración con el incomparable Jay-Z . La pueden escuchar a continuación:
The-Dream has teamed up with Jay-Z on "High Art," off Dream's forthcoming IV Play . The R&B multi-hyphenate slathers on the Auto-Tune, as expected, and sings about getting turnt up over a woozy beat with crackling percussion. Once Hov jumps in, he drops a line about being back home with his "BeyBey." Dream tweeted that it's a "fuckin real fun energetic summer song," and while we're not sure "energetic" is the word we'd use to describe it, it should go well with sweaty, blurry summer nights. Hear it after the jump. [...]
Beyoncé won't appear on the new Dream record (a Culture Club sample could not be cleared), but this collaboration with Jay-Z celebrating the fine art of smoking dry blunts your bros will. It's "Just a ... read more
One of the first things The-Dream says before getting into any singing on his Jay-Z-featuring cut "High Art" is "girl, I'm missing you like bitches miss my music." I'm one of those people who has her first listen of "Sex Intelligent (Remix)" permanently etched into her brain because of one lyric: "6/7/2011, I'mma drop that Love Affair ." The promise of a fourth album (especially after he noted the first three were part of a trilogy that would be the only material in his solo catalogue) was a beacon of light on the already-insane Love King . But [...]
The-Dream promised that his forthcoming album, IV Play, would feature some industry heavyweights, and to not disappoint, he's got none other than Jay-Z providing a verse on his latest single, "High Art." Featuring The-Dream's signature auto-tuned sound and Hov laying down rhymes over a skittering beat, it's exactly what you would expect from the two. [...]
The-Dream has still been getting flack since his wardrobe malfunction at the Grammys. And even though Jay gave him sh*t and questioned his stylist’s credibility, he still owes Terius for all the hits he’s penned for Mrs. Carter. All is good. The-Dream never really disappoints, and you're gonna listen to Hov even if he rhymes about “my balls got trapped in my zipper.” Illuminati references intact, this is nothing more than another decent outing from the best of both worlds.
Terius Nash, AKA The-Dream and Jay-Z have become one of music's most dynamic songwriting duos as of late. Earlier this year, they both earned a Grammy for "No Church in the Wild" , and now The-Dream finds himself in the studio working on Jay-Z's new solo album. But first, The-Dream will release his own new solo album, IV Play , on May 28th, and he's recruited Jay to guest on the track "High Art". IV Play is set [...]
The beautiful affair of hip hop and edm.There was a quiet buzz on the Internet yesterday about a collaboration of some sort in the works and here it is. A mixtape entitled Trap Nation posted on Jay-Z's blog Life + Times. There are a lot of impressive producers on the list including Brillz, What So Not, and gLAdiator to name a few. Leave it to Jigga to bank on this huge trap movement. Expect a lot of classic Roc Nation artists laced up with some nasty 8082s. We can dig it. Check out the full stream [...]
