Isaiah Toothtaker - "Bassface"

isaiah toothtaker - "bassface" (prod. by megasoid) (download)

Yiggy is the brand new FREE release from Tucson's rapper/tattoo artist Isaiah Toothtaker. I'll be completely honest, there's not a lot of new rap coming out these days that I'm too impressed by. I think a lot of it is pretty boring, actually, but every once in a while, someone surprises me and causes me to rethink things a bit. Isaiah is one of them. He's managed to get some really impressive production for this record as well, recruiting his friends Megasoid, Eligh of Living Legends, Subtitle, Eric Steuer of Meanest Man Contest, Meaty Ogre and more. He also gets bonus points for editing footage of my man Tsim Fuckus to create a video for "Bassface." It almost seems wrong to offer something this good for free. Go grab it here.

Portland, Oregon's Cars & Trains (Tom Filepp) has been a very busy man as of late. He spent a good chunk of last month touring with Ceschi & Bleubird to start getting the word out about his upcoming record The Roots, The Leaves (for Ceschi's Fake Four label) and its sister album of remixes, appropriately titled The Roots, The Remix. The Roots, The Remix includes remixes from Boy In Static, Melodium, Dollboy, Meanest Man Contest, Blue Sky Black Death, Big Pauper/PZ, Otem Relik, Unconventional Science, USF, Lullatone, Polyphonic, Bomarr (that's me), and Ernest Gonzales. Fake Four is handling the physical & electronic formats for the album, and Circle Into Square will be releasing the digital-only remix album. In addition to all this stuff (see, I said he's a busy guy), he has a limited edition 7" coming out on Token Recluse featuring Unconventional Science and Pauper/PZ's remixes. You really should grab all of these things. The record and remix album will be available on 1/26/10.

From his most recent EP Cle de Bras, released in April of this year by Musique Large. French producer Débruit has been at it for some time now, doing remixes, getting remixes from others, performing at festivals like Sonar, and being an all around busy guy. His new EP also features a great remix by Daedelus. Also, check out his remix of Meanest Man Contest's "We Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way", (which features yours truly buried somewhere in the background vocals).

Lil' Wayne - "Stuntin' Like My Daddy (Quarterbar Fast Remix)"

lil' wayne - "stuntin' like my daddy (quarterbar fast remix)" (download)

There are THOUSANDS of Lil' Wayne remixes all over the internet, I'm aware of this, and I've heard what must be hundreds of them at this point. That being said, this remix is BY FAR my favorite. Quarterbar is one half of the California duo Meanest Man Contest. They've gradually been releasing songs via RCRDLBL.com to populate a digital EP called Partially Smart. They've just released the final song. You can check out that, and a bunch of other Meanest Man Contest stuff right here. Also, Quarterbar himself has a great mix CD called Quarterbar's Shock 'Em Dead! that you can get on CD for $5, or a digital download for ONLY TWO DOLLARS right here. This Lil' Wayne remix appears on that mix
