Le Babar definitely has a taste for flipping classic rap tunes. I thought his Lil Jon remix was just a fluke. Turns out I was wrong. I like when that happens. Keeps me on my toes.
His rework of "Wanna Get to Know You" by G-Unit is his next disco-fun...

By 1999 The Black Eyed Peas were, to many, already highly uncool. Where I came from, I’d get teased endlessly if I mentioned listening to them let alone getting caught in the act. My credibility was on the line every time I defended Behind The Front ...

There are too many things I love about this track. First, they're rapping about math and science. Second, the exotica vibes in Poldoore's remix are completely tantalizing. Pair that with the classic hip-hop vocals from Scratch Bandits Crew and "Algor...

It's been a while since I last picked up on Adam Dollar$. One year, in fact.
He's had a few singles since then, but none of them have managed to catch my attention. Until this one.

Holy mother of Jesus. This track is FIRE.
Logic built a name as a "Young Sinatra," but this new single "Young Jesus" puts him on a whole new level. It has a fast-paced, classic hip-hop feel that takes me right back to the 90s, and I can't stop liste...
