JANSPORT J - SAVE MY SOUL (INSTRUMENTAL LP)

Without further adieu the producer known as Jansport J, fellow Harlot hoarder and WCC product, presents his instrumental CD.  With the 2AM Tape and MoveMeants being dope projects I expect the same.  From what I've heard this one is one of his flyest.  Seeing Jansport flex his versatility lately has me even more excited for this one.  Presented by Kevin Nottingham.

EL PREZ + JD RIGGZ + AYATOLLA JAXX - JINGLIN BABY 2010 (MUSIC DOWNLOAD)

Read the words below to see how the homie got involved with the remake of this hip hop classic:

From January to April of this year, we held a remix contest at KevinNottingham.com for producers to remix tracks from the LL Cool J classic, Mama Said Knock You Out. Producers used the original samples that Marley Marl used to craft their beats. Now that the contest is over, we have emcees from all over the world hopping on the beats to rebuild a classic. The final remix album will not be released until August 27, 2010 (the 20th anniversary of the original album release), but we have the first single ready to roll. Produced by DJ ILL One the Beatsmith, here’s the 2010 Remix of “Jinglin Baby” featuring JD Riggz,Ayatollah Jaxx, and El Prez. This track is sure to be your jam for the summer!
