The three producers of Rockpaperscissors apparently had been planning this type of remix project for a while as a means of introducing themselves as a group that will collaborate in the near future. In other words, Rock. Paper. Scissors. acts as a teaser for what we can expect from Emay, EOM and Remot. On here, they have each tackled the duty of remixing tracks from the likes of Tanya Morgan, Lupe Fiasco, Jay-Z and Wale along with some brand new verses from 6th Sense and Wax. Personally, I’m most interested in hearing EOM’s remix of “The Blank (Dangerous MCs)” as it features the new Wax verse, which is a nice treat for fans of Wax and EOM’s stellar Liquid Courage album.

After a few delays (I think), we have the homie Ritchcraft‘s nifty remix project, The Big Band Blueprint. Obviously this is a remix project of Jay-Z’s The Blueprint. And I am sure many of you can relate when I say that I am sick and tired of hearing Jay-Z remix projects. Especially when I am talking about The Blueprint. With that said, you may be asking, why is he posting this if he hates remixes so much? Which brings me to my next point, this project is dope! Ritchcraft, I will be honest, I was skeptical, very skeptical. But after giving it a few spins, you get some heavy dappage. You can’t really get original with a Hov remix album, but Ritch somehow did. Give this thing a stream or download and come back to let us know what you think!

I was told I wasn’t suppose to leak this… OH BABY!

After weeks of speculation, we finally get our hands on the highly anticipated collaboration between Dr. Dre and Jay-Z off of the upcoming Detox album. I still don’t think this album is ever going to see the light of day, but it is absolutely wonderful to get a track like this to bump in the whip. Who knows when we will receive another leak, so be sure to cherish this one to the fullest. But that’s enough from me, check out the track and decide for yourself if it makes the cut!

SUCKERS!

Because Coachella is just about one month away, it’s about time that we start showing some love to the artists who are going to be making this year’s event something special. Fittingly, our good friends The Kickdrums have come through just in time with a special Coachella mixtape. With songs from artists who will be performing at this  year’s event such as Jay-Z, Wale, Passion Pit, and La Roux, as well as some original material from The Kickdrums themselves, you really can’t go wrong. A full tracklist is available at The Kickdrums website. Mixtapes for day two and day three are also on their way, so keep your ears open.

9th Wonder returns with his second installment of the 9th Invented the Remix (AGAIN). 9th Wonder released his original remix project was back in 2003 after the success of Little Brother’s The Listening. The new mixtape has some notable hip-hop and R&B remixes. Some of the highlights include Little Brother’s – “Not Enough (More)” (9th Wonder STILL Ain’t Enough Remix), Tweet’s – “Turn Da Lights Off” (9th Wonder Oh No You Didn’t Remix) which samples Teddy Pendergrass’ “Turn Off The Lights” remixed with 9th wonder’s drums. Some of the other R&B remixes were a bit underwhelming, but he did remix “Wordplay” by A Tribe Called Quest so there’s still a lot to like on here. Please let us know the what you think. Props to Eskay
