DJ Ian just hit me with another track with Freeway. This time he gets in to remix Robin Thicke’s Magic. I really like the original joint. Thoughts on the remix? And I’ve figured it out. To get Rihanna to give it in the strangest places you gotta have money. Shit…

Before I get into the post I want to express something. Shake is not a fan of soccer (by any means) but I just watched the last 10 minutes of this Croatia/Turkey game and wow. That was awesome! Croatia scored with barely anytime left to go up 1-0, then Turkey came through in the clutch to force a shoot out with no time left. Good stuff. Now onto the incredibly dope J*DaVey. I really really need to see them in concert. Like really. Ms. Jack Davey is stunning. Above there is an interview they did with OKTV and after the jump I’ve included clips of them performing a few choice cuts at the Key Club. Pretty sure my man Tunji handled the footage so shouts to him.

I said below that it’s been a good day in hip hop. I’m gonna have to switch that up and say music in general. This new Dwele album is pretty dope so far. I agree with my man Small Eyez though that he seems to be staying with his exact same style and sound. Some might enjoy that but dude is crazy talented and can definitely branch out and do something special. While you wait for the album, Sketches of a Man, to release (June 24th) here are a few choice tracks. Also, my man William just did a interview with the man himself over at MiHH. Also (x2), hit the jump for a damn good Dwele mix by FeelMusic.

Take it and don’t give credit. We know how it works with ya’ll haha. Fresh from the studio. Pharoahe Monch jumps on Erykah Badu’s The Healer for a special remix. Nothing is official yet but Monch lays 2 verses of fire. I dropped a live version of Pharoahe’s part back in May and said what I wouldn’t do for a studio version to this. Well the music Gods answered my prayers haha. Enjoy!

Phonte & DJ Brainchild team up for episode 2 of the (2)Dope approved Gordon Gatrell Radio. Great music with hilarious commentary. What more could you ask for? This week Phonte expounds on the niggotry of the R. Kelly trial and the homoerotic nature of male-male-female threesomes. Right right? Right right. I was debating on posting some classic video footage of Tigallo ordering pizza. I might hold off though haha.
