Fresh new weed jam from Los Rakas, ‘La Hierba’, featuring Kaz Kyzah & Silk E.
Here are four fine examples of how to make (what at least seems like) a low-budget video, all new this month:
1. Kool Keith – Bushman
Kool Keith in a cave with a variety of plastic guns and some girls dancing in the bush. All mixed with some classic green screen.
2. Maluca x Partysquad – Lola (Ging Danga)
Word Art has never been so sexy.
3. Khago – Blood A Boil
Think the editor might have taken the phrase ‘more fire’ a little too seriously.
4. Funkineven – Rolands Jam
If Teen Wolf had to save something from his burning house, it would definitely be his 303.

Mixpak 013 is brought to you by Mad Decent crew member and one of Trini’s finest, Jillionaire. Responsible for smashing down Major Lazer’s Notting Hill Carnival Party (talk about stealing the limelight), running Tropical Bass party Chicken N Beer, and more recently putting out tunes with Richie Beretta and Fellow, Jillionaire knows how to keep the vibes pumping. As if he didn’t already have a jillion things going on, he will also be launching a new label, Feel Up, anytime soon – we expect nothing but big sounds.
This exclusive mix steers away from his latest offerings though, taking us back to some dancehall foundations. As Jillionaire said himself, it’s made up of ‘the guns and girls chunes that defined the late 80s and early 90s’. Bullet bullet!
