L.E.S. Youngin on His Bongo (Wiz Khalifa vs. Santigold vs. Manu Chao)

Dirty as they come, 70's funk vibe meets reggaeton meets slowed-down carioca funk. 
Lots of percussion on this one.

David Banner - Play (Mucha Lucha Funkaton Remix)

Created for an assignment for Music 109r, in which we were to sample the classic break Funky Drummer to create a beat. The melody and vocals of the track come from chopped samples of the 1970's Angolan protest song Valódia by Santocas. I would like to eventually go back to polish and master the track, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

"Bem longe/ Ouví aquele nome/ Inesquecível/ dos filhos de Angola" (Far away/ I heard that name/ Unforgettable/ to Angola's children).

Valódia Dub(step) Remix - UNMASTERED

For my DJ mix, I chose the theme of female rappers in southern hip-hop/crunk music, limited to between the years 1997-2004 due to its distinctive sound. As you listen to this mix, pay attention to the similarities in lyrical style and diction among the female MC's. There is something unique to the vocal quality of southern female rappers that only adds to their inherently badass delivery. And in a male-dominated industry, these gangsta ladies hold their own against their male counterparts, threatening violence such as the Ms. B track Bottle Action, or shifting the center of sexual objectification from women to men, such as the La' Chat track Slob On My Cat. Production is also representative of much of classic southern hip-hop, with minor synths and the dominate 808 kicks, snares, and hi-hats. I hope you enjoy this interesting musical journey...
