By now, I hope you’ve peeped the album I did with Billy Woods called “Dour Candy”. If not, get on that shit. I’m Biased but, fuck that, it’s really good.
Anyway, I did a remix of the song “Tinsletown” which features Woods, Lo Deck and Marq Spekt. As a tip of the hat to the good old days when people would put out remixes that were, in fact, totally new songs, the beat has been re-imagined and all the verses are original. Peep it!
Also, peep the “Crocodile Tears” remix after it. Another banger.

juuust caaant TRUSSIT!
I like the original and this one too. Very different atmospherics. The original has more spaced out beats which gives Woods room to move and the remix has a more driving edge to it better for a posse cut. I give the edge to the original, Woods kills it on that one.
Please remix the entire album, then take my money one more time. - Thanks
It’s been driving me crazy trying to figure this out… During the “Just can’t trust it” vocal sample, what is the other sample that sounds like “ding!”?
There’s a ding in there? I have no clue. It’s just part of the original hook slowed down coupled with Chuck d saying “Here come the drums”.
I guess it’s just part of the Public Enemy sample. I thought I recognized it from somewhere else.
Thoughts on the remix in general would be a good read.
