Enjoy driving two miles an hour so everyone can see you? Then you are probably anticipating the arrival of the summer, and you have under two months to go. Courtesy of D.Focis, he has put together a brand new mix of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s “Summertime”, said to be “adding a Detroit touch,while keeping with the original vibe of the song.” No harm in that, so listen to it and lay back because soon come, it’ll be summertime, so have a ball.

REVIEW: Dynas’ “The Apartment”/”It’s My Turn” (single)
What Dynas did with this single is get a classic Dilla beat, have DJ Jazzy Jeff produce a track, and called it a day. Oh, but what a GOOD day this is.
“The Apartment” is the Dilla track and it makes one wish that Dilla’s influence was bigger than it is, but then a lot of songs and instrumentals would be watered down with people hearing sounds and samples one way, but not doing it quite right. “The Apartment” is a feel-right song.
“It’s My Turn” feels like the 90’s over again, with a horn-ridden sample and a drum machine layered over it, with heightened hi-hats and a deep bass that makes you want to dance, do a bit of jazz hands, and makes you feel and question why you feel so high. This is a high single, and I wish all hip-hop these days sounded like this. Fuck it, their loss.
