tj’s dj’s tastemakers xclusives disc 3
1. Khao / Keyz In The Air –Intaprize/GTT
Contact: Tanya Marvin - 866.379.0027
Although he has production credits on TI’s “The King,” Khao can’t
rest until he gets a throne of his own. With this cut, Khao with a
solid lyrical beatmaking K.O. will have other artists putting their
keys in the air because it’s time for them to go home.
2. Crime Mob / Rock Yo Hips – BME
Contact: Sabrina Montgomery – 404.367.8130
For those who love chicks rocking hips to that Crime Mob crew, this
joint is for you. When this beat drops make sure you hold on tight
because if she’s got that Beyonce’ lusciousness you may be in for a
long ride.
3. Tampa Tony / Bobbahead – SouthBeat
Contact: James Jackson - 305.695.6730
Tampa Tony takes a break from pushing his Blunt Splitta’s to describe
his favorite chick, the “Bobbahead.” For those who are slow, the
“Bobbahead” is a chick who loves to bob her head like a bobble head
found at the ball game. If a “Bobbahead” acts right, they might end up
on Tampa Tony’s dashboard.
4. Lil Flip / I’m A Balla – Asylum/Warner Bros.
Contact: Asylum Promotions – 212.707.3030
True ballas are the ones that know how to flip their chips over and
over. Even on a new imprint, Lil Flip will continue to define what
ballin’ is all about. Plus, it doesn’t hurt if you have the luck of a leprechaun
on your side.
5. J-Shin ft. T-Pain / Sent Me An Email – SouthBeat
Contact: James Jackson - 305.695.6730
Roger & Zapp were years ahead of their time singing about Computer
Love. Now, J-Shin & T-Pain put together a nice lil diddy that explains
what love in the computer generation is all about. And it ain’t always
something to LOL about. Beware of those viruses!
6. Randy B. / It’s Over Now – Southern Boy
Contact: Randy B. - 850.766.6356
Love past its expiration date can be a traumatic experience. Thankfully,
Randy B. has been able to encapsulate the feelings of a breakup
and strike the right chords to make the song cry instead of you.
7. T-Hud ft. UGK & Static Major / Never Thought – T-Hud/Nutty
Boyz
Contact: Nikki - 612-720-8252
T-Hud never thought he would have a track this good unless he
hooked up with certified platinum stars like UGK and Static Major
(songwriter, Ginuwine, Aaliyah). Thankfully, T-Hud will have nothing
but clear skies and great weather forecast for his future with this
jamming tune.
8. Jovan Dais / Came A Long Way – Nzone
Contact: Bernard Parks - 404.753.6522
DJ Toomp has shared his bag of Hollywood Magic to have Jovan Dais
pair with the 5 Heartbeats’ Eddie Caine to form a duo who have come
so far but have so far to go. By the end of this record you will know
that on nights like this nobody can be Jovan Dais.
9. D-Shep / Stay Real – Conspiracy Music
Contact: Mike Rojas - 305.672.7562
Opponents of the use of the “N” word stay away from this tune.
D-Shep flips the word by wisely blending the hook to phrase the
emotionally charged term in a way that makes you say, it may not be
right, but I understand.
10. G-Mack ft. Young Ca$h / Checks Out – Lost Land
Contact: Kaper - 614.596.7485
From Kentucky to Duval, G-Mack and Young Ca$h unabashedly run
shit. So if you listen to this tune and you hear them talk about it, you
already know it’s for real. So respect their gangsta or rest in peace.
11. Willo Da Don / Hustle All Day, Ball All Night – Two Dogg
Contact: Johnny Vickers - 850.443.5999
All work and no play makes Willo Da Don a dull artist. That’s why
he has to make sure that if he hustles all day, ya gotta ball all night.
It’s only right to have a party soundtrack so tight.
12. Strangers / Guac – Two Dogg
Contact: Johnny Vickers - 850.443.5999
Although they may be strangers to you, these Strangers are no
strangers to getting plenty of guac. With this bass thumping tune, the
Strangers provide a new use for stacks of chips.
13. Scoundrel Squad ft. Bohagon / Pat Em Down – Invisible
Contact: Pamela Shelby - 706.984.5406
Fresh from a nod by Billboard Magazine, the Scoundrel Squad have
been getting much attention from the haters. So, they need to “Pat
Em Down” at the door to make sure that no foolishness goes down
at the shows. And be forwarned these Savannah sergeants play no
games.
14. Suga Suga / Studio Trap – Nzone
Contact: Bernard Parks - 404.753.6522
DJ Toomp fresh off one of the hottest tunes of the season (TI’s “What
U Know About”) has lent his production talents to his artist Suga
Suga who put some work in the studio. With this much bang in the
studio other MCs don’t stand a chance.
15. Killa Kim / I Pop – Phamus Folks
Contact: Micky Rollins - 786.586.4653
Killa Kim masterfully rides this track into submission and has the
beat in her total control making it pop and bend to her will. Luckily
she’s brought us along for the trip.
16. La Chat ft. Yo Gotti / Baby Mamma Drama – Inevitable
Contact: Mario Myers - 901.406.4528
Yo Gotti & La Chat are the baddest thing smoking from Tennessee
since that hillbilly boogie! Yo Gotti & La Chat has been making noise
on the underground for the longest and with this track the underground
will continue to bubble their name like a 5 prong bong.
17. Alozade / Bad Out Deh – Manatee
Contact: Doc - 312.226.9034
Lawdamercy! Alozade knows it’s “Bad Out Deh” so he has to shoot
‘em down wit a bang bang like he was trying to Kill Bill. This is a
nice sample of a rude bwoy living the life of a true shotta on a mellow
groove.
18. Haitian Fresh / On My Own – Fresh Productions
Contact: Ms. Rivercity - 904.465.0745
Although Haitian Fresh is in the streets and grinding on his own, he
always has the isle of Haiti on his back. And with a legion that strong
no force can stand against him.
19. Young A ft. Juvenile / Down N New Orleans – Akright
Contact: Heidi Buech - 310.869.4010
“Down N New Orleans” reveals a dark side of the Crescent City that
has become more ruthless since Queen Katrina established her reign
of terror. With Young A & Juvenile tag teaming to tell the truth on
this track, they show that like a stale beignet, it ain’t sweet.
20. Raw LT ft. Bun B / Getcha Mind Right – BBH
Contact: Big Bank Hank - 832.215.7317
Raw LT rides the track like a royal highness should. With Bun B getting
her back, I wish somebody would try and disrespect the crown.
21. F.A.S.T. ft. Smoke / Str8’n Me – Fat Fred
Contact: JB - 850.528.5028
Smoke from the po’ folk lyrical assassins, Field Mob reaches out to
F.A.S.T. to lace a track that will Str8’n anyone being disrespectful.
