One of the most important roles of a proper dj is to tell his or her audience what's hot through a properly compiled track list -whether this happens under club lighting or via MP3.  Dj Low Key and Sounds Supreme have solidified their places within the definition of true disc ... Continue Reading

PopularLemonade needed a theme song.  As soon as the video dropped for Gucci Mane's Lemonade, a remix was needed without Gucci Mane's annoying ass voice. If I could give Dealz a cape and super powers, I would.  He came through with a super proper Lemonade flip (including a DWYCK sample, which ... Continue Reading

'Lately' has been on the iPod for a week or so now, and I wasn't sure if I liked it at first listen.. or second, for that matter.  Like all great songs, it grew on me and all of a sudden, my Last.fm scrobble count was weighted towards this track, ... Continue Reading

I've been bumping N.E.R.D.'S first album, In Search of... for a solid month straight.  I just can't keep it off of the iPod whatsoever... It's all I want to listen to lately, for some reason.  My friends are sick of hearing it, but somehow it sounds so much better to ... Continue Reading

I'm not so sure that I can say it enough - I love Mickey Factz. In fact, I think I'd like to hug him and meet him and tell him he's the shit.  And maybe kiss his cheek for making such fresh music. Click here to download Mickey Factz :: darkphoenix Track ... Continue Reading

Whew.... what a fucking song.  It's kind of creepy to have a chorus that repeats, "just don't die... today," over and over but holy fucking shit if this isn't a super solid talent line-up (I mean, really.. production by Beatnick & K-Salaam, verses by Bun B, 88-Keys, Colin Munroe?).  Be ... Continue Reading

Having close ties to LA for close to a year made it painful to miss the Boombox 3rd Anniversary Party a few weeks back... What added more salt to the wound was that Inka One & company brought in Talib Kweli for a special dj set... What I didn't know ... Continue Reading

Really.. I have no business posting Gucci Mane videos... but PopularLemonade supports Unpopular Lemonade songs too.  I actually kind of liked it until the weird children started singing. What the fuck are these lyrics about, anyway? I got lemonade and lemon teeth Lemons watch me mix the shit Lemonade complexion, east-Australian girl ... Continue Reading

It's not often that I get on some serious fan girl shit, reciting lyrics back to people who make the music that I rock on the daily.  U-N-I has become the most recent exception to the list, as I had a quick chance to chop it up with them last ... Continue Reading

My closest friends are pretty much sick of hearing me babble on and on about H.O.P.E., but I figure they can probably deal with it.  This dude's been one of my favorite music finds of 2009, and his latest track (featuring Blackstar's Redefinition beat) gives you another solid idea of ... Continue Reading
