The democratization of music production over the past decade didn't come without casualties. Fruity Loops, now known as FL Studio, stood at the forefront of bringing the studio to your room. It also became the scapegoat of many purists who swear the DAW ruined genres based around loops: namely rap. Call me crazy but the people behind the program didn't change its name to "FL Studio" just because it sounds cool. Everyone's entitled to their opinion on the matter. At the same time one's skill, imagination and output trumps whatever instrument he or she uses [...]

We have a new surprise coming for y'all next week. On Tuesday, May 7, we're releasing a new project from Virginia producer/longtime PIMB favorite LAKIM . It's Reinterpretations , a collection of remixes/bootlegs featuring crazy flips of tracks like Lloyd's "Get It Shawty". Dubbed a "Back it Up" bootleg, this once's destined to get you moving in one way or another. Who cares if you're in a library, cubicle, what have you; just hit play on this one, embrace your inner dancer, and feel free. Or don't and just vibe out. It's your call.

After hearing the cool R&B spin Lloyd has put on Future's "Turn On The Lights" and Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools" (heard below) in recent months, if the entirety of the crooner's forthcoming mixtape The Playboy Diaries involved nothing more than him applying his featherweight tenor and original lyrics onto beats familiar, there would honestly be no complaining from this corner of the Interwebz. Latest Diaries preview "Sexcapade" puts a pause on the tour through hip hop's Greatest Recent Hits for a sample swipe from Aaliyah's One In A Million [...]

Late last night, the team at Al Lindstrom let loose one of the most anticipated cuts on DJ Drama's upcoming Quality Street Music album. It's "My Way", an uplifting joint that finds Common and Kendrick Lamar —I know, right?!—trading verses over a smooth Hit-Boy production. The only problem here is that it's got a bunch of tags, but hopefully we'll get the CD-quality soon. Until then, stream this jam below. Quality Street Music drops Oct. 2. [ via ]

If you're as cool as we are and you listen to hip hop radio then you've probably heard Lloyd's R&B-ified revue of "Swimming Pools" a few times in your local DJ's mix. Here the track sees its proper internet "light of day". Coolin' with Lloyd. Lloyd - Swimming Pools (Kendrick Lamar) Lloyd ( Facebook ) Rating 8.3
Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools (Drank) is one of the top hip-hop songs of the year, pleasing hardcore fans and casual radio listeners all the same. Lloyd comes with a R&B inspired remix of it today, and it is absolutely dope. Say what you want about Lloyd but he has a great voice, and that's evident from this track. Lloyd feat. August Alsina - Swimming Pools (Remix) [ Link ]

Judging by it's steady rise up the charts, we're not the only ones who can't get enough of Future 's "Turn On The Lights". The latest in a solid string of singles (following "Tony Montana" and "Magic" , and the ridiculously catchy street corner banger "Same Damn Time" ) that have helped the Auto-Tune-loving Atlanta emcee/ "singer"'s mixtape-to-official transition be one of the rare smooth ones, hip hop love song "Lights" has emerged as the album's biggest breakaway smash so far, no doubt due to the strangely addicting recipe of Future, sounding [...]

My dude Lloyd has been missing from the air waves as of recently. Hopefully this new joint I just came across featuring Wale will let radio know he deserves just as many spins as Chris Brown. Not hating, just saying.
