I totally forgot that I’d done this remix until I opened up cubase today and saw the session in my recent projects folder. Just a little something I made one day when I was bored. A couple of loops, no bassline, but I still think it turned out alright. Not quite as hard as the original beat, but a little more going on in the track…all feedback is welcome…click below to download:

Pharrell ft. Gwen Stefani - Can I Have It Like That (DJ Forge remix)

This is going on the ReMixtape that I’m trying to put together…if you have any recent acapellas, please feel free to forward them to djforge[at]gmail.com…and as always, don’t forget to check the music in the audio section, as well as the beats on the flash player to your right

Sorry I haven’t been updating on schedule, but it’s the holiday season and you know…things are hectic. Last night I went to Charlotte because Amen and I had a show, then I drove back right after to do the 9 to 5 thing, etc…anyway, here we go:

LL Cool J ft. Juelz Santana - It’s LL and Santana. I know, weird pairing of rappers but it actually works. Sounds like Just Blaze on the beat, this is dope straight up and down. LL actually has another song out with Freeway that’s dope too, if you see that one anywhere send it to djforge[at]gmail.com for me!

Dan Johns - Learn To Burn. The homey Dan Johns has leaked this song from his current mixtape, Street Noise which you can buy on his website DanJohns.com. Definitely support this man, he’s a hard-working talented MC from South Carolina who deserves more shine than he gets…

Baby Blue, Sway, S.A.S, Bigz, Sincere, and Pyrelli Yeah!!! For some reason I’m tryin to get more into U.K. hip-hop. This track is a nice posse cut, i promise you’ll be cool if you play it! Two of the rappers featured on the song, S.A.S., are actually a part of Dipset Europe…check out the video for their song “cheerio”, it’s dope….kiss your babe goodbye, say cherioooooooo….i gotta get to london…

Rhymefest - Dynomite. Another dope one from Rhymefest, who has an album upcoming on J Records. Just Blaze on the beat (another banger!)…make sure you check out his joint “Brand New” which is his single to lead off the album (produced by Kanye)…

Redman - Rush Da Security. Not exactly brand new, but a dope joint nontheless. I think Redman has a new album coming out soon, so make sure to check for that whenever it drops.

There ya go!

Well I actually managed to do one this friday, how bout that!

First up, The Teriyaki Boys - You Know What Time Is It?!?. Yeah, if you can’t guess by the track, DJ Premier laced this track for them. If you don’t know about these guys, they’re a japanese rap group. Their album is actually released by Def Jam over in Japan, with A Bathing Ape sponsoring them too. This is from their new album Chicken Or Beef? which was recently released in japan and features some pretty big names on production (just blaze, neptunes, dan the automator, cut chemist), so it might be worth checking out.

Next up is Talib Kweli - Fly That Knot (ft. MF Doom). So Kweli has a new mixtape that was just released called Right About Now. To me, there is nothing wack about this track. On point production (with scratches at the end!), kweli’s flow is on point, and doom actually comes off alright on it too. Make sure you check out the mixtape (some people are saying it’s better than his last two albums)…..

Skyzoo is a name you’re going to be hearing more of in the upcoming year. “Turn It Up” (prod. Khrysis) is from his latest mixtape, The City’s Favorite, which you should pick up wherever you can find it. The mixtape features production from some familiar names like 9th, Khrysis, Illmind, etc..

Got a new song for you guys from my partner in crime, Amen. This one is called “Go Crazy” and features production by Jah Freedom. Jah’s based out of Charlotte,NC and is quite the versatile beat maker. Everything these two do together comes out crazy, and it seems Amen is really able to swagger over jah’s beats. The bassline is crazy, the hook is crazy, the joint is dope period. Right-click and save-as on the link below to download…

The last joint is “Keep On” by Elzhi. You know Elzhi from Slum Village and his solo mixtape Witness My Growth. This is a new leak from LibidoSounds . Dope beat. Dope Concept. Dope song.
