MAYER MEETS SNOOP
Jamie from ST had told us that Snoop looked up Mayer to see if he could remix one of his tracks (and then he would rap on one of Mayer’s songs), but it’s almost hard to believe it until you see it!
Mayer’s off touring in Europe, and also stopped by for an interview at NPR before he left.
WHITEFIELD BROS, EDAN & MR. LIF
The lead off single from The Whitefield Brother’s Earthology, their long-awaited follow up to 2001’s In The Raw, finds rappers Edan and Mr. Lif riding a space echo atop a bouncing tuba. “The Gift” is the latest in a long line of duets between these Boston-reared MCs and appears here in vocal, instrumental and – courtesy of Oh No – remixed forms. 12” single forthcoming in early December. Here ’tis.
SAVATH & SAVALAS
A new dub version of La Llama called The Predicate coming out in Jan, here is a taste.
