The DJ Theory-produced ‘Quick Money’ (a remix of Amadou & Mariam’s ‘Sabali’, that you may recognize from Nas and Damian’s ‘Patience’, featuring NYC’s finest, Jahdan Blakkamoore) has been getting us emotional for the last month or so. And then….So Shifty come along and soca-fy it to the max. Could it get any better? Oh wait, yes it could, cos the download is free.
Head to their soundcloud for the rest of their new tunes.
Check this transatlantic collab from NYC’s Subatomic Sound, African hip hop label Nomadic Wax and Jamaican label, Peoples Records. The riddim drops this week on iTunes, and features brilliant voicings from Anthony B, Jahdan Blakkamoore and Bajah. Expect some serious political lyrics and big bass.
DJ /Rupture and Matt Shadetek‘s Dutty Artz label, blog and parties are indisputably ground zero for New York’s exploding global bass scene. Here, we speak with Shadetek and longtime collaborator Jahdan Blakkamoore about the rising tide of dancehall, daggering, Latin, and tropical and what it takes to push music into the future.
