Tracks of the Year PT. 2

Round 2, lets go! (and because Dwei brought up a good point...some tunes might not be seen as SFW. If this is seen as an issue, I would just listen to these when you get home!)

STARKEY FEAT. MERKY ACE & KOZZIE - PC


A killer grime tune from one of my favorite producers, and two really awesome MC's. Not too over the top, but still grimey enough that the streets should love it!

SPOOKY - SPARTAN


While this single was released in 2010...again, I give it a pass since it was December 30th. Its close enough to 2011. This instrumental, as well as all the remixes, brought real Grime back in a serious way.

ASAP ROCKY - PALACE


An awesome intro into one of my favorite albums of the year. Might not be everyones cup of tea, but if you like southern style hip hop, give ASAP Rocky a listen!

GEMMY - DA DODGEMS


Any time I hear this song, all I can think of is the So Solid Crew (here is your proof). The vocal sample at the drop is actually what sold me on the track. The whole thing is good, but seriously, I just love saying Awwwwwwww Shieeeeet.

MENSAH - BIG UP THE GOONS/ACID DUB



I couldn't choose which of these two tracks to put, so I settled for both. Big Up the Goons is a gangsta as shit purple kind of track...while Acid Dub is a throwback to the old school rave sound. Love them both to death.

Also, watch out for the post coming on Christmas morning, folks...you're going to be in for quite the present from ol' Santa (if you're good of course!)

Yesterday Was a Good Day.

Quite a long day, but totally worth it. My parents had just finished packing up, and started the road trip to move back to the east coast. They're renting their house out today, so I had to get my uncle to drive me down (its about 300 km away...so its 3 hrs there and back) to go pick up their car! It feels so good to have wheels again. However, I haven't really driven a standard for 7 years now, so it was quite the crash course driving home! But I did okay, stalled a few times but got back going immediately.


Today is also seeming to shape up pretty good, as I have absolutely nothing to do except for pack (I am moving at the end of the month), and watch football (pre-season, anyways)! Who else is stoked that the NFL is back? Who do you cheer for? Should I heckle you for cheering for said team? I cheer for a weird bunch; my ideal Super Bowl would be the Raiders vs the Seahawks, just because it would be hilarious. I also like the Redskins...but they are just a mess.


Before I am off, here's a sample from Gemmy's W.O.W. label (release date is Sept. 1). Da Dodgems is on some serious business. Sounds like something the So Solid Crew should be rapping over.
WOW002 Gemmy - Too Far/Da Dodgems by GEMMY

Hope the weekend treated you well!
