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...

[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...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
