Agent of Change :: The New Boyz and Paper Route Gangstaz, a retropsect

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this Healthcare debate all month. Translation: I neglected the second in a three-part series of exclusive interviews with artists of tomorrow (b.k.a. the Agent of Change summer series). Last month I highlighted Detroit rhymesayer Finale. Luckily my URB colleagues have it covered. Below are two in-depth interviews with leaders of different, though equally innovative, movements. The first highlights The New Boyz: colorful, fun-loving maestros of the Jerkin’ revolution that’s sweeping the Southland. The second delves into the depths of the Dirty Dirty; Alabama’s Paper Route Gangstaz get gully and let loose. Both interviews were featured on URB.com earlier this month. Respect.

Bomba Estereo Fuego (Pacha Massive Fiyah Remix) Exclusive (MP3)

“Fiyah” is really quite the understatement when two of my favorite Latin bands get together on one track. Nova from Pacha Massive remixes Bomba Estereo’s huge summer hit “Fuego” into an intricately layered yet still blithe track.The original song’s integrity isn’t lost on Nova, who amps the bass up, but, even so, Li’s vocals don’t get overpowered. The walls are sweating.
