Hailing from Mexico, 16-year old dubstep producer, Trax , remixes Nyquil by East of LA artist, Pheo , and creates a whole different take of the song's originally easygoing and mellow vibe. Trax applies just the right amount of heaviness and intensity with the bass synth and sparseness of the dubstep kick and snare, all the while honoring the conveyance of lyrics and sound of Pheo's voice.

Music producer and recording engineer, Woody , drops a a 9-track Biggie remixtape featuring his original beats layered with classic Notorious B.I.G. acapellas. Providing a different taste from the originally recorded tracks, the sound of Woody's production, ranging from classic boom-bap hip hop, to soulful R&B, to futuristic 808 and chill vibes, excellently compliments the moods set by the rhymes and delivery of Biggie. Definitely a great listen.

From the Hellfyre Club compilation Veneris Nigrum , released November of last year, the man who stays with the red beanie, VerBS , releases a set of visuals for the Flying Lotus produced “Rocketship”. The concept is simplistic, yet effective, emphasizing the rhyme-writing ability of one of LA’s more skilled rappers.
