postheadericon NEW REMIX: Blackstreet ft. EPMD - No Diggity (DJ Soulchild's Buttnaked Funk Remix)

Although Blackstreet have always been one of my all-time favourite R&B groups EVER and that i connect fond memories to the original version of the 1996 mega-classic "No Diggity", i still got sick of every freakin' DJ out there playin' the same ol' version in every damn club i went to or played at. What about the slammin' "Das Diggity Remix"? Shit, i don't even think i've ever heard anyone play the "Billie Jean Remix" out here in lame-ass, play-safe Switzerland either. How sad is THAT??!!

So i took the matter into my own hands and decided to not only speed it up a little, but also give it a slightly different, more Hip-Hop-flavoured street edge. DJ's worldwide, as well as my Facebook supporters seem to be lovin' it so far, plus it spread across the net like Brazilian genital herpes (no disrespect!) within no time. As with every remix, i call up a famous rapper to come and spit some bars over it for absolutely no money at all...'cause i'm cool like that, see. Yeah ok, so i lied about that again!!! Well, the calling up the rapper part, that is. 'Cause it's pretty obvious that i'm cool. Duuuuhhh!!!

Any-hoo, enjoy this little reworking of mine and feel free to flatter me and boost my ego with a comment below! Thank you!

Don't ask me how i came across this track, i really can't remember. Just another one of those fine little discoveries you make once in a while! And fine it is indeed, 'cause after the first 15 seconds kicked in, i just knew this song was gonna be nothing less than awesome...the production is just soooo grown'n'sexy...and by the time i heard the chorus, i was hooked. Her voice and the whole atmosphere of the song just blew me away!

So obviously i was eager to find out more about this impressive San Diego-based artist and immediately did my homework. Apparently she already released an album back in 2005 called "L.I.F.E." which sold 18'000 units and caught the attention of MTV, NBC and Adidas. Wow...not bad for an independent artist nowadays! Looks like she ain't goin' nowhere for a while yet!

And after listening to the sampler of her latest album "Entervention", which is an interesting, eclectic, futuristic fusion of R&B and Neo-Soul dipped in 80's synthesizer Pop, she definitely is a breathe of fresh air with a promising future.

RATING:
9/10
