Those that come here often enough know the dopeboyz usually keep a specific size image for each post. But the artwork to Torae’s Switch maxi-single is too classic not to post in full. Available now on iTunes. Below is the bonus cut. If you want the explicit version, along with a few other remixes… act like an old hip hop fan and actually COP SOMETHING!

… Small Professor! Big ups to everyone that submitted their remixes. There we’re a lot of surprisingly dope versions and some expected wack ones. But I can speak for the dopeboyz & Meka and say that we we’re pleased with the results. And if it weren’t for my incredible talent at the art of forgetting shit, this would’ve been done awhile ago haha. Thanks for keeping faith Tor haha…

Here’s the long-awaited video for the Black Milk produced Switch off Da Young Vet’s debut, Daily Conversation. Shouts to Science Projects on the Director tip. And don’t forget to keep leaving feedback for the “Switch” contest as well, as we’ll announce the winner soon.

So we we’re supposed to do this last week and I take full blame for the delay. But here goes our (Torae x 2DopeBoyz) top five submissions for ya’ll to listen to. As Tor will reassure…

Man oh man, 1st off I’d like to thank EVERYONE that got involved with the “Switch Remix Contest”. It was definitely dope hearing every one’s twist on the joint. Some were very, very creative, some weren’t creative enough but I enjoyed them all for different reasons. I didn’t think the contest would be as big as it was there were many entries from all over the world. I got submissions from Denmark, Africa, France, Amsterdam, Holland, of course New York (someone actually brought me a CD out to the show), Slovakia & many, many more. So again I’d like to thank each of the contestants for their time, energy & effort. Unfortunately there can only be one added to the single so without further ado here are the top 5 that were decided on by 2DB’z & I. If you’re not on this list I still have every one’s email address & I’d like to chop it up with a lot of you to possibly work in the future. I heard some beats that didn’t fit “Switch” but would be dope to write to so I’ll be in touch. Thanks again for being involved I had a blast with this. Peace & love…

So here we go… the finalists are here. So we are asking the dopeboyz and dopegirlz out there to listen and leave some feedback. Which are you feeling, etc? We’ll announce the winner soon (I’m not giving a date haha).

Not your average behind the scenes look. Featuring cameos from Tanya Morgan, Marco Polo, Kel Spencer, Skyzoo, Sucio Smash & more. And for the record, the Switch Remix Contest is closed! We will be announcing the winner next week (9.16). Good luck!

As the title and image above state the submissions for the Switch Remix Contest that Torae & your favorite dopeboyz are putting on are due today (Tuesday)! I meant to put up a reminder over the weekend but we all know Shake is a space cadet and forgets atleast three things a day. So you have until Midnight on the west coast. Good luck and get to firing off that email (switch.remix[at]gmail[dot]com).

Any frequent visitor of 2DB will realize that myself and Meka support Coney Island’s Torae to the fullest. Dude has put in work over the years! If you’re still in the dark, allow him to re-introduce himself. With that being said, Torae & Shake thought it would be dope to collab on something…

Okay people here it is. I get an overwhelming amount of inquires on myspace about beat submission. So me and the good fellas at 2DB came up with something for all you aspiring producers. I’m going to be releasing my new video for “Switch” in the next few weeks as well as a digital 12″ and you’re going to be on it. All you have to do is download the a capella version and do what you do best. The contest will be judged by 2DB, myself and all the sites lovely visitors. The winner will receive placement on the “Switch” digital 12″ which will be available on iTunes, amazon and every other digital music outlet. Make it creative, make it original and make it dope…2 Dope. – Torae

All submissions please send to switch.remix[at]gmail[dot]com. Due date is September 9th and please remember to include your producer/DJ name with the mp3. Good luck and bring some originality!
