Similar to the way Big Boi drew up major early buzz for his long-awaited 2010 solo debut Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty , the varied-in-flavor singles dropped leading up to the arrival of Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors ( "Gossip" , "She Said Ok" , "Mama Told Me" ) have done a fabulous job in making the sophomore effort feel like something that needs to be copped on day one. Latest preview "Lines" keeps the excitement flowing with blog-attracting, genre-leaping features from A$AP Rocky (whose [...]

Deen doesn't dance no more, all he does is diss. At some point during my adventure with Trackstar the DJ's Out Of The Darkness - The Best Of Organized Noize , I came to the slightly annoying realization that I'm a bit of an asshole. Well, I've known this since I was about seven, but I'm referring to a different kind of asshole. The kind of asshole that gets upset when he realizes that there are things about Organized Noize that he either never knew (insert song) or simply forgot [...]
Trackstar took up the ardrous task of narrowing down Organized Noize's humongous catalog to 50 cuts for his Out Of Darkness mix. Better him than me because I would've picked [...]

![[Listen] Amy Winehouse - "Tears Dry On Their Own" (Organized Noize x Dungeon Family Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3596362_lg.jpg)
Another ode to the late great Amy Winehouse today. Yesterday early on we got an unreleased demo from M.I.A. titled "27" and then in the late hours yesterday Big Boi , Organized Noize and the rest of the Dungeon Family uploaded a remix of Amy's track "Tears Dry On Their Own" which featured on Amy's album Back To Black. Amy Winehouse - "Tears Dry on their Own" (Organized Noize Dungeon Family Remix) by Big Boi
To commemorate the passing of Amy Winehouse, Big Boi has delivered this previously unreleased remix of one of her bigger singles, "Tears Dry On Their Own". The original appeared on her absolutely huge, Grammy-winning sophomore record, Back To Black . It was a relatively upbeat, brassy affair that has now become a somewhat darker joint in the hands of Organized Noize and the Dungeon Family. I know, Organized Noize is actually part of the Dungeon Family, so it's not too clear exactly who was involved. But that aside, this is a great lil' gem from [...]
As news of Amy Winehouse's passing yesterday took over the Trending Topic circuit world-wide, M.I.A. was moved to share an unfinished demo of the recording "273, initially created prior to the release of last December's mixtape Vicki Leekx as a dedication to "all my friends that died at 273. With or without the Winehouse connection, the song is chillingly haunting, featuring Maya, in her signature sing-song cadence (made all the more eerie in this context), tracking the final days of a troubled pal's life spent in a drug-and-alcohol-fueled haze against a spooky [...]
Big Boi , Dungeon Family and the Organized Noize crew have just unleashed a previous unreleased remix of the Amy Winehouse track "Tears Dry On Their Own". The track was originally featured on her second album, Back to Black and this remix one definitely has a little more "thump in the trunk" . Now, we didn't do any type of official post upon hearing of her passing just because it would of been fake for us to act as though we were heavily into her music, on the site. But this [...]
Here's the deal. Anything Outkast, anything even remotely Outkast gets my 'O' face going. Now, is that so wrong? When I heard the rumors they were putting out an album in 2012, I did a Paul Revere and wailed, " Aquemini 's coming! Aquemini 's coming!" Though, we'll see if they actually show up. Thankfully, Organized Noize - Rico Wade, Ray Murray and Sleepy Brown , who are responsible for producing Southernplayalisticadillacmuzi k - have shown up. "Congratulations" is off of their upcoming collaborative album Nappy Dot Org with Southern rappers Nappy Roots. [...]

Way over yonder, across the Georgia skyline, sits a manchild with the ability to mix up his own blend of dance on dance and lyrical sensibilities that should make the entire world adopt a southern's charm, soon enough. If you see Donnis cooling out on a porch in the backwoods with his Ray-Bans on, just know he's seeing the bigger picture through the Southern Lights . Since he's known to be Fashionably Late from time to time, D$ is in cahoots with Karmaloop as they feature his [...]
