I like the original version better, but this is notable as one of Clams’ most regular productions. Bouncy drums, pleasant soft horns – this is good stuff but it feels somewhat removed from the ambient meltdowns and occasional slaps that Clams made his name on. Then again, by the same token it could also be used as an argument for his versatility, which he hasn’t shown too much of so far (except for this, which has unfortunately vanished from the netz).
SteadyB and Soul Division are doin’ thangs. Specifically, we’re doing a chopped and screwed compilation which we will drop in a near future. Expect to see a grip of new and classic tracks selected with care by a distinguished and discerning brain trust comprised of the guys in Soul Division (who will naturally handle all the chops and slows), Blast and myself. Rest assured that we will take, drink and smoke all the drugs we can get our hands on to guarantee you the best and stoniest quality possible.
The following two tracks may or may not make it onto the compilation. Either way, they should give you a good idea of what to expect. Hope you enjoy.
Some sneaky rare secrete based music type stuff – there was absolutely no mention of this remix existing when the The Wuz Here Sessions EP was released digitally in January. Apparently it will be included with the vinyl version.
Now for the next trick, let’s have K.R.I.T. produce a G-Side or a GMane song.
I had a feeling this would turn out well, and it did. ‘Hometown Hero’ and ‘Something’ are the two standouts here. The band’s energy renders the already triumphant ‘Hometown Hero’ nearly anthemic, while Ragen Fykes’ sultriness grounds and cushions KRIT’s raw sentiment on ‘Something’. Rap acts that know how to properly integrate band participation into their music >>>>>>
You can stream/dl all 4 tracks from Bandcamp, you can also buy the vinyl version there too.
Video for this version of Hometown Hero and the back cover with full credits are below the jump.
DZA did will in his recent collaborations with Curren$y, plus the production credits and the guest list are impressive. So this this seems promising, certainly worth a try.
