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.

"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...
