I'm Shady (Kat Fyte Re-Deployment)

If you're on my monthly email blast then you know I like doing pop edits and remixes to take them to strange and unfamiliar places. This is the first in my "NOUGHTIES" remix series and it's been getting a solid response so I decided to make it available for download.

This is also an exclusive for TRADE, the new DANCEHALL / HIP HOP / R&B party at the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge that I've got going with DJs Rizzla and Justincredible alongside the Bona | Fide production crew. Our launch party was last month and it was a m a z i n g so check out the info here if you're in Boston and you wanna come party.

WHERE MY GIRLS AT

So I guess R&B is back? So Bones has been predicting the revival for some time now and I was just diligently waiting for everyone else to catch on. Once dismissed by "educated white people" as sappy commercial garbage, R&B has made the move from ironic / half-hearted "guilty pleasure" to genuine object of affection. Whereas other parts of the world have stayed loving R&B, we hipsters are becoming reacquainted.

We can thank people like Kingdom and Brenmar, and generally the recent movement back towards 2step and garage in the UK (which have R&B sensibilities at their core), for the reintroduction of these styles into our cultural landscape.

Also, I assume y'all have been watching the Nicki v. Kim beef closely and I just wanted to say: GOOD PR MOVE KIM!! honestly I've been listening to Lil Kim more in these past two weeks than I did at any point in my life and it's all because she picked the right time to pounce.

ANYWAYS, here's a classic that I found in time for a party I played on Saturday in Cambridge. It's low bit-rate but its certainly good enough for the floor. Just listen.
