Ludacris and Nicki Minaj over a beat that uses the string sample from Sticky’s Jumeirah Riddim. Big!!
Cocaine Blunts dropped Bounce For Relief Vol. 1 back in 2005 and they have finally followed it up with Vol. 2 and it’s a big mix.
Here we veer into the gangsta bounce of early Cash Money and another of the stronger labels from that era – Pack. It’s also bookended by two proto-bounce tracks Gregory D & Mannie Fresh’s “Buck Jump Time” and the J Ro J’s brass band “Buck Jump” knock off “Let’s Jump.” Like the first the song selection consists of mostly classics with a few lesser known titles sprinkled in. Sorry about the crackle and fuzz on some tracks, you know how it goes. Please continue to support New Orleans in any way you can.

DJ /Rupture and Matt Shadetek‘s Dutty Artz label, blog and parties are indisputably ground zero for New York’s exploding global bass scene. Here, we speak with Shadetek and longtime collaborator Jahdan Blakkamoore about the rising tide of dancehall, daggering, Latin, and tropical and what it takes to push music into the future.

The “Smoke Machine Riddim” is still a growing phenomena (just check out the daily twitter mentions of “Yuh Love”), but it wasn’t until we saw it being bootlegged as a riddim CD in Japan that we realized just how global it had gone. Big up the dancehall massive!
NguzuNguzu redefine “eclectic” with this mixtape, culling old house music, ghetto bass, Gucci Mane, beatboxing and even Ginuwine’s “Pony” into thirty seven minutes of harmonic dissonance – each track sampling elements from “Moments in Love” by Art of Noise.
