Nas ft AZ – Life’s A Bitch Remix (Prod TimelessBeatz) (Single)

Another cool remix we happened across at random today. What’s cool about this one is that it sounds like it came out of the same era as the original, but now almost 20 years later.

Funky DL & Nas – Jazzmatic (Mixtape)

It’s the late 1930’s and local jazz club is packed to the brim with people awaiting the rapper Nas and his jazz musicians (orchestrated by Producer Funky DL) along with featured artists to come and play a 10-track set to forever be remembered. The lights are dim and the hall is filled with smoke, whilst the clinking sound of champagne flutes ambiently gesture in the atmosphere. Nas and Funky DL are having their picture taken outside the club in an array of spotlights glaring from their vehicles (see artwork). Then it happens..The two step inside the club and “JAZZMATIC” erupts..All you have to do now is..“press play”.

Nas – One Love Remix (Prod Je$u$) (Single)

Producer Je$u$ is back with another ill remix for everyone. This one is Nasir’s classic “One Love”. This is one of his best remixes in my opinion, and Je$u$ is always consistent.

Nas, Aerosmith & Sinatra – Street Dreams (CHEATCODE Remix) (Single)

Massachusetts producer CHEATCODE gives Nas’ classic “Street Dreams,” taken from his sophomore album It Was Written,’ a rather imaginative mashup of the time-honored single. By combining elements of both Aerosmith’s 1973 single “Dream On” and Ol’ Blue Eye’s vintage ballad “Young at Heart,” over CHEATCODE’s crushing percussion, trembling bassline and crunchy synths, the Commonwealth producer skillfully blends over five decades of music history into one seamless remix. Conceptually, the remix reveals the juxtaposing vantage points of a young Nas revisiting his childhood dreams of being rich, while a seasoned Frank Sinatra dreams of buying back his youth.
