Hudson Mohawke Unleashes CD-quality Live Staple, "Amen" guy_fieri_mix, Praising Pusha T, Kanye & Young Jeezy (Very G.O.O.D. Beats)




"Buy Lantern here... s.warp.net/lantern. Support King Push. Happy anniversary to Jeezy. And get tickets for all live dates with The-Dream here: hudsonmohawke.com/live," reads the description accompany G.O.O.D. Music producer Hudson Mohawke's latest Soundcloud upload; an apparent allusion to the recent 10th anniversary of Young Jeezy's critically-acclaimed major label "debut," Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. While low-quality live rips have supposedly been floating around for a number of years, the Scotsman's newly-unleashed G.O.O.D. Music sanctioned CD-Q cut is in fact, "Amen" RMX's first official release. "The album's second single, the follow-up to [Pusha T's] Tyler, The Creator collaboration "Trouble On My Mind," was the Kanye & Young Jeezy-assisted "Amen" — a scripture-nodding exploration of many of [Fear of God II: Let Us Pray]'s recurring themes," reads Complex's intricate, multi-layered description of Shawty Redd's original, and now completely gutted, "Amen" production work. Although "Amen" guy_fieri_mix might seem like Pusha T & Hudson Mohawke's first collaboration, @HudMo actually contributed production to Pusha's proper solo album, My Name Is My Name, having previously worked on Rick Ross-featuring "Hold On" and "No Regrets" as part of G.O.O.D. Music's collective in-house executive production team.


Lest we forget, Pusha T additionally appeared on Hudson Mohawke's pre-Lantern Apple MacBook Air single, "Chimes" RMX alongside like-minded emcees Future, TraviS Scott, and French Montana. He's effectively managed to strip "Amen" of any minute traces whatsoever of Redd's brooding, rattling drumline-esque snare embellishments, instead replicating a Yeezus-reminiscent eerie, EDM-Rap hybrid sound complete with Tribal drum hits and minimal, yet effective sound effects. Hudson Mohawke's recent Eric Yue-directed "Warriors" short film stars Pusha T as its "titular warrior escaping authorities in a not-too-distant future," in lei of Mohawke himself or featured artists Ruckazoid & Devaeux. Hudson Mohawke's aforementioned Lantern, his first album in nearly six years and first since he and fellow TNGHT production partner Lunice announced their indefinite hiatus back in December 2013; "people [were] expecting it to be a rap record — and it would be so easy to make a record of 10 rap songs — but I [didn't] necessarily want to hear that. I wanted to go back and put the focus on myself for this record," Hudson Mohawke told Pitchfork within their gripping, all-inclusive Lantern-centric piece.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir
