Monday Remix #10

HC & Virgo - Squeeze 1st (Remix)

This week's remix is dedicated to one of friends/producer Pedro "Virgo" Manjate, he's one crazy beat-maker and he's got a hot flow. This beat was originally on Jay-Z's "Roc-La-Familia The Dynasty" album and it's one of my fav. tracks on that album. The topic is Writer's Block and squeezing words in just to make sound right without thinking straight.

We recorded this back in March/April, he's now in Nelspruit working hard.
Virgo produced the first track on Nemza's album "The Future", "Open Your Mind" on "Before The Madness" and he's also working on more beats for my next project.

I'll be uploading some videos during the week from live performances with The Carpet Mafia and previous radio interviews. You can follow me on twitter/facebook status updates to look out for the links or goto HCMusicTV

It's a strange Monday morning here in Cape Town, it's cloudy/rainy, supposed to be spring so let's get rid of the winter with this next remix, a break-up song with an old-school beat produced by A-Plus, who is one of the members from Souls of Mischief (the original artists).

I heard about this Brazilian Rock band a while back, CSS stands for Cansei de Ser Sexy (I got tired of being sexy) hahaha...I like the name, the first time I heard this song 'Jager Yoga' was on the Fifa 09 soundtrack last year and I've been singing it for more than a year now, I sent a copy this remix to them via Myspace, hopefully they'll give me feedback ;-) and let me do another one (original this time)??? Fingers crossed.

It's a different genre to HC, had to try new things, I really like their style!

Common & HC - Announcement (Remix)

"Everybody I'd like to announce..Throw your hands up when we in the house..This is Hip-Hop baby...I'm fin? to take you to the tip top baby" - Common

Great hook, so I thought, let me share my thoughts, this is my view on Hip-Hop. Enjoy!

Monday Remix #6 - BooBooTah (Remix)

2009-09-21T04:13:00.000-07:00

Monday Remix #6 has been uploaded and its a special one.

Mr Pinky - BooBooTah (Remix) ft. HC (Produced By Ameen)

WARNING!

This song contains some sexual content, it is advised to be heard by ages from 18 and above. Over 21 in some places. In other words, Parental Advisory - Explicit Content. Thank You!

Story:

Since its Death of Auto-tune month for me, I thought I should upload this song called BooBooTah, written and performed by a new artist I'm working with called Mr Pinky.

Mr Pinky is influenced by the likes of R.Kelly, T-Pain and the rapper Too $hort.

After a brainstorming session with Mr Pinky he told me one thing thats still stuck on my mind, which is that "sex sells". With his first single BooBooTah he said that in English it means the females private body part, I thought "oh, how creative....". He gave me permission to do a remix for this track produced by my brother from another mother, Ameen.

Hope you enjoy it. It's the greatest slow jam I've heard in a while. Props to Mr Pinky.

Swizz Beatz & HC - Where Tha Cash At (Remix)

"The intro from J Dilla' s Pay Jay Unreleased Album"

On the original song (Where Tha Cash At) Swizz Beatz is talking about haters and people who like to front but I decided to flip this and talk about law officials....When I'm back home, some police officers ask me where the cash at? I'm sure some of you feel the same where ever you are in the world...

"Education a myth in my city/ O Metical, thats the mayor in my city" - HC

Dedicated to all my people that get stopped by the cops... Bump this in your cd player when they do!

it's Gonna be Bananas!

Today's download is not a remix but a track that I recorded last night.. I found a batch of J Dilla beats on my macbook and decided to record my vocals on it. I did two versions using the same lyrics, the other version is on Ron Browz & Jim Jones - Pop Champagne but I decided to use the Dilla beat. It's a chilled out track..Enjoy... J-Dilla was a genius..(R.I.P)

Adios!

It's H!

Monday Remix #2 - My Mercury's in retrograde..My-My-My....

2009-08-24T01:36:00.000-07:00

The story behind this weeks remix, I was playing Fight Night Round 4 with my buddy Faquir last month and we were browsing through the soundtrack (props to EA Sports) they really know how to compile the best soundtracks for their games, Hope they pick one of my tracks in future :-)

Anyways, Bloc Party - Mercury tune was playing while the boxer I created was entering the ring his name was Fuego "The Killer" Castillo, (can't remember how I came up with that name but I has a nice ring to it, lol.) I heard that beat, and I immediately wanted to do something on it.
Bought their album entitled "Intimacy" and managed to grab the instrumental and the rest is history.

So here you go, DOWNLOAD

"My Mercury's in retrograde..My-My-My...."
