Kanye West – Power Remix ft. Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz
This makes the original sound so flat. Kanye went in so far he came out the other side bumping Snap!. Also Jay really needs to start recording his verses AFTER Kanye’s because this is getting embarrassing…

Jesse Boykins III – Lauryn Hill/Erykah Badu Cover – The Mystery of Iniquity
Performer, Joker, Self-Proclaimed Conceptualiser, I truly consider Jesse as part of my family in New York, honestly one of the funniest people I know, as well as one of the most talented and driven. All personal bias aside, I really believe that as a songwriter, singer, musician and engineer, he’s one of the premier talents in music and I’m extremely proud to see that the work he and Woo have done over the past couple of years is starting to bear fruit and he’s beginning to get the recognition that he deserves.
The sky is the limit, just make sure you bring a stepping stool to the Grammys, that podium is pretty tall.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people won’t be able to get past the girl with the devil horns. Full video below:

Reminds me of a New York summer, the Diplomat family is on a tear right now. The genius of Cam is that he really just does whatever the fuck he wants on a record…”I could do a DMX impression right now, yeah okay….”
