Do The W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.
After months of keeping us waiting not-so-patiently, Wale’s finally dropped the proper edit of his Justice bootleg on us and while the go-go drums in the song’s final third are sorely missed, it’s nice to finally have a cleaned polish version to rock on the headphones. That said, this just gives amateur DJs everywhere (who, me?) another excuse to beat “D.A.N.C.E.” even further into the ground in indie discos around the world, but y’know what, I’m okay with that.

In other genre-mashing hip-hop news, I’ve finally tracked down this awesome bootleg of Royksopp’s “Remind Me”, courtesy of shit-hot Brooklyn MC Mickey Factz. I first heard this like a year ago at Major in DC and all the brothers working the counter were all “Who dropped this beat?”, and I was all “Royksopp, mannnn”, and for a fleeting moment felt accepted by the DC hip-hop heads who populate Major. Now, thanks to a mention in the most recent issue of SPIN, I’ve finally copped this shit and it’s most excellent. I’m loving this new direction hip hop’s going in more and more everyday.
