Solange – Cranes In The Sky (Kaytranada Remix) [Audio x Download]

Kaytranada remixes Solange’s “Cranes In The Sky” track. “I couldn’t help it and I can’t deny how good it sounds. This is just an edit to play on my dj sets, and I played it once and everybody wanted it right away. Honestly I was gonna wait to see if Solange or her team or whoever works for her wouldve ask me to do an offical remix so if they still want to, I could make it sound better than that version but ohhhhh, what the hell…. anyways I highly recommend you that new Solange album ‘A Seat At The Table’.” – Kaytranada Stream or download below.

MC Eiht feat. MayLAy – Runn The Blocc (DJ Premier Remix) [Audio]

First street-single from MC Eiht’s forthcoming new solo album, Which Way Iz West, which is executive produced by DJ Premier & MC Eiht and will be released in a joint venture with DJ Premier’s Year Round Records and MC Eiht’s Blue Stamp Records. DJ Premier stated to XXL “Runn The Blocc” was originally done as a freestyle joint 2 years ago over the same track as Black Moon’s “Who Got The Props”. I’m a huge fan of Young MayLAy from the west coast and he can spit. So when we finished mixing the album, I wanted to keep the lyrics and put a brand new beat to it so that it sounded like a whole new song.” MC Eiht chimed in to XXL with his own comments “When I originally got the beat from Brenk (Sinatra), rather then do something that glorified hustling, I wanted to drop something more along the story-line of how it’s so stressful in the streets. Then Premier sent MayLAy and I a beat and it just fit my vision of how the game used to be perfectly; knowing hustling is still a necessary evil and having to deal with everything that comes with it. Preemo heard the final product and said it needed to be on the album; so now its official.”

Kamaiyah feat. YG – Fuck It Up [Video]

She doesn’t need an introduction — Kamaiyah is the driven and lovable ’90s baby who wrote “Why You Always Hatin?” (a single for her mentor YG that also features Drake) and released a damn-near perfect debut mixtape back in the spring. Today, she shares a new video for “Fuck It Up,” produced by The FADER and directed by Chris Simmons. Made while cruising around High Street in Oakland, its convocation is recited by Shay Diddy of local institution KMEL, and its conclusion finds everyone invited to mob in the parking lot — her childhood Big Money Gang Crew, and hella babies too. Taken from A Good Night In The Ghetto and co-starring her boy Keenon, “Fuck It Up” is a got the devil in my cup celebration of having made oneself, and of shining so hard that you can ignore calls from anyone who lies. “The ‘Fuck It Up’ video was about bridging the Bay to L.A. gap,” said Kamaiyah, who moved from Oakland to Los Angeles in the past year. “I wanted to bring the Town out in a positive way and to have fun. I think we were successfully able to convey the message.”
