This year went by faster than a shadow lurking in the night sky but all’s well that ends well. As the year approaches its close and I sit here with my pringles, I thought about all the songs that were constantly and are still being repeated over and over again in my iTunes. Yes, several of you will yell at me for not listing your specific choices for the year but you can leave your list in the comments.

We already know Deadboy is a legitimate badbwoy that loves a good RnB sob-tune. As evident by our previous post of his mix for Bruk Magazine, the guy shows his sensitive side in making tunes even more fleshed out with sonic emotion. Already putting out a fantastic release of special edits of already fantastic RnB tunes, entitled Cash Antics Vol.1, we’re hoping this edit of Drake’s epic emo-collaboration with Alicia Keys, “Fireworks”, gets released on the next volume. Bearing bits of vinyl crackle and melancholy, you might think there’s a bit of Burial in here. But, nah. It’s Deadboy, get used to it. It’s only the beginning of greatness. Youtube it after the jump

Apparently this was originally an Alicia Keys song, recorded in 2007 for As I Am. It was never used and now Lupe took advantage.

In 2003, I moved to Los Angeles mere months before the 2004 Coachella Festival. As the line-up was announced—Radiohead, Pixies, Kraftwerk, the excitement was palpable. Then one day a few weeks before the show, a package arrived at URB HQ. In the envelope was a a bunch of CDs labeled John Beaver Coachella DJ mix. Those CDs took me all the way out to Indio for the first time, and every year since, I wait for the Beaver mix (now Beaver and Radman) to carry me out to the desert. Download this double disc set and let it carry you as well.

Jack Splash doesn’t bother with the confines of genres. By working with everyone in the biz (he’s in the lab with Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx at the moment) he’s added his take on R&B, hip-hop, rock, pop and just about anything the in-demand singer/songwriter wants.
Even with the dense schedule, Splash squeezed some signature funk onto Heir To The Throne Vol. 1, a new mixtape courtesy of DJ Skee and The Smoking Section. Enjoy!
