The Overlord Ice Dog over another classic LA Kidd beat.. For all the old school hiphop fans

This is a crazy one. I wanted to cover this Thompson Twins song that I've loved since I was a kid, but put a unique spin on it so I decided to try to channel the band Secret Chiefs 3 and in the process wound up changing the time signature and taking a hard turn into Flamenco. 

The vocals on this one are still scratch until I can find someone to do an original performance that sounds something like this. Wish me luck!

Just hours after the relaunch of Payday Records, the iconic record label has released its first song “Our Streets” featuring legendary producer DJ Premier and A$AP Ferg, which is available today via digital retailers everywhere. “Our Streets” is the first song released by hip-hop and EDM pioneer Patrick Moxey’s newly relaunched record label. DJ Premier is reunited with former Gang Starr manager Moxey as the first artist to release music on Payday Records. 

“Our Streets” is a true New York hip-hop track, combining DJ Premier’s signature beats and A$AP Ferg’s versatile style to create a classic, raw and energetic sound. The song marks the first time the legendary DJ and rap star have worked together, despite both being prominent figures of the New York hip-hop scene for years. 

“It's a dream to be able to work with the legendary DJ Premier on this record” stated Ferg. “Preemo has worked with all the NYC hip hop icons and greats - Nas, Biggie, Guru, Hov, KRS-one, and The Lox. Just knowing I was working with him pushed me as an MC.” 

"With Ferg, or anybody I work with, they already know my history so they know that I come from the 90s era” DJ Premier said. “Ferg just automatically said 'Don't do what I've been doing on my albums - I want you to do a Preemo style and let me show I can rap to that,' so I was like 'let's do it.' Everybody was happy off jump - no suggestions, no 'I think we should go this direction' - it was an automatic in, out, done, in one day." 

“Our Streets” is available now, and is the first song released by the newly relaunched Payday Records. Patrick Moxey, who is the President and Founder of Ultra Records, Ultra Music and Ultra International Music Publishing, originally formed Payday Records in New York City in 1992. Payday was the first record label to sign Jay Z, releasing his first single “In My Lifetime” in 1995. Other artists signed to Payday throughout the 90s include Jeru the Damaja, Mos Def (via his first group U.T.D.), Showbiz & A.G., Group Home, Guru, WC and the Maad Circle and more. DJ Premier played an integral role in Payday throughout the 1990s, bringing artists like hip-hop duo Group Home and rapper Jeru the Damaja to Payday for release, and producing a number of the label’s biggest hits including “Come Clean,” and “Supa Star.”

"How ya ‘bout ta ride? U do not carry arms.
You niggas Disney, Six Flags; Knotts Berry Farms.
Might ride fa fun but you not gone do shit.
All you’ll hear’s skull crushing acoustics from my cue stick.
Thermal scope hit in the dark fa let a few spit.
 The HK’ll put’em in park, for amusement.
First round lift’em up; got’em Ferris wheelin’.
Second round’ll laid’em down; now he carouseling.
U fake lord, I’m the Best Of All Times and 
The BOAT drag niggas like wakeboardin or parasailing.
In Paris sailing nefarious felon. 
Various chariots will carry us into the
Aquarius era -5
(1).…I’ve set traps, I-should ‘go-check, now’ 
Usta be backpack, 
hoes called us ‘hotep now’.
 We blow whole zips cause we getting mo check now, 
African rum. Jeweled up slapping a drum. 
 The dashiki match the Rolex now,
So from now on you can call that Hotep Style!, Bitch.
Ever see me chasing a bag? I got duffle dough. 
Hefty bags, I live off trees like how truffles grow.
Pull strings. Marionette. It be a puppet show. 
At cha wedding tryin’ marry Annette, I’ll let a couple go.
strait down the aisle. Suppressor with muzzle on. 
Now you can’t suppress her, or puta muzzle on
The bitch.
Aye, Don’t confuse me with them other dudes.
 I still reflect light like the mirrors that Hubble used. 
Crazy Wavey. I’m on some other shit. 
You test me, I’m one particle in the Double Slit.
The results say “I gotta be deceived”,
Then it’s aquatic audio until your nautically fatigued.
Smash atoms into radio waves to see who sounds priceless.
Time’s relative; we have different now slices.
Pound for pound wisest. Witty wit sound devices.
I paint audible circles around the nicest.
Beef will have you asking where the biscuit at?….
My Butler’ll carve ya chest; Brisket Flat.
We only beefin cuz ya cuts is ass; that’s a Rump Roast.
Back in the day we would have kicked that ass; That’s a Trump Quote.
You’ll still get ya ass kicked at ya party like a drunk host. 
 You on the bottom then we pickin up jewels;  that’s a sunk boat!!!
I smoke Oak, Evergreens and Pinewoods
 We forklift money like sheets of plywood.
Warehouse skrill. Few mill in the assets.
25 years and y’all ain’t fuckin with Cas yet!

Casual - "Hotep Style"

November 9, 1993 will forever go down as one of the greatest days in hip hop history.  Two of the genre’s most revered albums dropped on the same day:  Wu-Tang Clan’s debut ‘Enter The 36 Chambers’, &  A Tribe Called Quest’s third LP ‘Midnight Marauders’.  I remember riding my bike to the mall, with money I had earned from my after-school job.  I had anticipated this day for awhile, and saved up in advance to pick up both albums (at that age $40 felt like $500).  For the months that followed, both albums fought for playing time on my boombox.  One moment, I was transported to the boulevard of Linden, and the next to the rugged streets of Shaolin.  Those albums stayed in my rotation forever (literally).
To mark the 25th anniversary of both LP’s, I thought it might be a good idea to try and take the vocals from Wu-Tang’s album, and blend them over the instrumentals from Midnight Marauders.  I wasn’t sure it would work at first, but as is usually the case, inspiration hit at midnight when I was trying to sleep (the coincidence of the timing is not lost on me).  A couple of hours later, I managed to pair up every single Wu-Tang vocal with a suitable beat from MM.  The intent was not to improve on the originals in any way….that would be impossible, as I consider them both to be perfect bodies of work.  Rather, it was about orchestrating a fun concept, and putting a totally new spin on these well-worn classics.  The contrast of Wu’s gritty street raps over Tribe’s jazzy production works in an unexpected way.  Now, I present to you my personal tribute to these legendary groups:   A Clan Called Wu - “Enter The Marauders”.
