Mixpak is proud to announce a new addition to the Half on A Baby remix package! After the release of the original as the second single from the Kingston Story album, along with 5 exclusive remixes, we now add one of the most exciting names in the 2011 rap game to the roster: Pusha T. Joining forces with the Jamaican MC, he offers up a slow, sultry and stripped down verse to perfectly complement Kartel’s own impassioned flow.

This is New York to Kingston via Virginia, uniting a Jamaican dancehall legend with one of hip hop’s most distinctive voices. This is Mixpak to the fullest. 

This one is a free download, don’t sleep! And remember you can still buy Kingston Story here.

Murlo & Murderbot on Wifey

A month after their crazy show featuring Mosca, Rashad, Spinn, Big Narstie and more, London’s Wifey pull another radio special out the bag, with two of the underground’s favourite Chrisses: Chrissy Murderbot and Chris Pell aka Murlo, alongside London producer Deamonds. Soca to juke to cumbia, this is not for the faint-hearted.

Many a star has produced a Boom Shaka Laka tune, from Apache Indian to Junior Reid, but now Mixpak family member Douster offers up a BSL club track for 2011, as part of his new EP dropping on Mad Decent on the 22nd of December. In the words of the producer himself: ‘On that Bubblin/Freestyle/Carnival tip, those are meant to be played LOUD!’.
