Scorcese Unveils A Remix Only Gods Know (SIDE A) Featuring Tony Dark, Disco Vietnam, Zilla Rocca, Jason Griff, Camouflage Monk & L'Orange

Last year, we had the pleasure of premiering a Zilla Rocca-produced remix of Alpha x Scorcese's "Untitled" Feat. Killer Mike & Pastor Troy from their 2018 collaborative effort as Gods Know, A World Only Gods Know. Now, Scorcese (@JihaDScorcese) has returned with his first proper "solo" project of 2019: A Remix Only Gods Know - SIDE A, a cleverly-titled and long-awaited 7-track remix companion EP to Alpha x Scorcese's A World Only Gods Know. Not only does A Remix Only Gods Know feature the aforementioned "Untitled" Zilla Rocca Remix, it boasts six additional remixes from Scorcese's Underground/Indie Rap peers, Tony Dark, Disco Vietnam, Jason Griff, Camouflage Monk, and L'Orange. "So, yeah... "THIS. IS. THE. REMIX." (Puffy voice.) Been a long time coming, but you all can blame L'Orange! Anyway, this was a selected [seven] remixes based on fan response," Scorcese Lorde Jones explained on Gods Know's Soundcloud page.

"I reached out to the homie Zilla Rocca (Wrecking Crew, Career Crooks, Three Dollar Pistol) and he advised me to reach out to a bunch of different guys, who all came through..." he continued. It appears as though A Remix Only Gods Know - SIDE B will be dropping relatively soon "along with some fire-a$$ merch" featuring a still as-yet-to-be-unveiled cast of talented beat-flipping characters. A Remix Only Gods Know does exactly what a good remix project should do: presents a previously released collection of songs re-worked in new and imaginative ways. Scorcese is currently putting the finishing touches on SIDE B, as well as his long-rumored Jason Griff-helmed Dream Team: A Stokely Hathaway Joint. Next week, following WWE WrestleMania XXXV, we'll be hosting a premiere of "Flex Kavana" Feat. Vic Spencer," the first single from the wrestling-themed project right here at The Witzard. Jason Griff, also, recently released a 5-track EP entitled SCARF TISSUE with Los Angeles-based emcee/producer Alex Ludovico. It sounds like Griff, Scorcese & Ludovico are all planning to collaborate on some sort of super-Hip-Hop team-up fairly soon.

"Originally, it was, simply, going to be 7 remixes based on a fan vote, but I, eventually, decided to release a "SIDE A" and "SIDE B" of A Remix Only Gods Know, after I started getting back the remixes and realizing so many of them were FIIIRRE! I found myself writing new verses to the new beats, thinking about different song ideas, and truly going back to that "remix" idea: new beats, new rhymes, and new ideas, presented in a familiar format. Plus, I had some remixes that I did not use from producers that I felt needed to be heard, like "B.I.G." Remix produced by Doe Pesci (50 Cent, A$AP Rocky, etc.) that I wanted people to hear.

Hence, a set of "B-sides!" The B-sides will be alternate versions of some records, new verses from me on every record, and currently [features] King Merlino (@King_MERLINO_)—an extremely dope artist from Philadelphia—Nicey Most (@niceymost,) and my fellow Zipsquad [emcee] Flyboy Black (@FrontlineSoze,) along with one more special guest I am keeping under wraps for a bit longer... Producers include FARMA BEATS, Doe Pesci, Zilla Rocca, Tony Dark, L'Orange, and one more special producer."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
