0557 - Trop Hip Hop

So I have been doing a lot of research into rap/tropical house remixes lately, mostly because the party I'm djing on Saturday is Tropical themed (which means I get to mix tropical house!).  I have found some really great stuff, and wanted to share a few of them with you all.  The first remix comes from Matoma, who really seems to have a talent with this kind of genre.  Taking Ice Cube's Hello and Notorious B.I.G.'s Party & Bullshit with a tropical rhythm really make for a slick track.  The rap is classic, the beats are tropical, and my ears are happy!
Second up is the Henry Land remix of 2Pac's Still Ballin and Eminem's Soldier into a really fucking great remix.  Seriously, this one flows so well it seems like it was made this way originally.  Especially the lyrics from Soldier mesh so well with the tropical tones, but really the whole track is gold.  Give it a listen!

0458 - Bizzare Invades of Your Favorite Genre

First up today is a really unique track from Robokid called Helix.  The track took me a while to peg down because it has so many elements of so many other genres.  I'm pretty sure its DnB but it also sounds like Prog House, Electro, and a lot of other genres.  Its very happy and upbeat with a nice big bass that keeps an amazing flow throughout the entire track.  A very good an happy track that helped me get through a busy morning!
Special shout to my buddy Hunter for finding this track, it is one that I have heard but never known what it was.  The Matoma Remix of The Notorious BIG and Ja Rule's track Old Thing Back.  This song is the perfect mix of what electronic music and rap combinations could be, something amazing.  Great Tropical House vibes mixed some amazing rap, I hope to see more like this because I love the cross genre work between these two.
