Andy Petr – Pow 2011 (Remix)

Andy goes H.A.M. on his remix of Lethal Bizzle’s powerhouse grime track “Pow 2011.” The remix maintains the heaviness of Bizzle’s original cut but with the slick synth burbles and layered percussive complexity that’s coming to define Petr’s sound. Andy’s released an EP and two new tracks in under a month, and with that is starting to gain a reputation as not only one of the youngest producers out right now, but also one of the most prolific. It’s hard to keep up; kid is ridiculous! This track is available for free download at Andy Petr’s Soundcloud.

This is lip-biting production from Mosca, as usual, get it when it drops next month.

Gangsta Boo – My Ex-Boyfriend

Whilst 3 6 Mafia earn that reality TV show money, the first female member of the Group quietly released a Trap-a-Holics mixtape. To be honest i have no idea if she did it quietly but the fact that it took me over a month to find out that she had released a tape in this internet era is a miracle. The mixtape is surprisingly very good, whilst her female counterparts wonder how they can succeed in a post Minaj world Lady Boo goes with her trapper rapper gimick. Backed up by a thumping aggressive southern hip hop background, she asserts herself as a force to be reckoned with. The highlight of the tape is her going over Trae’s trunk music class Swang.
