KINGDOM'S TOP 10 3/13/09
Kingdom - Mind Reader ft. Shyvonne
I finally finished this new track with a very talented young singer name Shyvonne. It's a 4x4 heavy bass banger but is also definitely an R&B song at the same time. Hopefully this will be seeing official release soon!
Crazy Cousinz - Bongo Jam (L-Vis 1990 & Bok Bok's refix)
Up and coming London-based producers L-Vis 1990 & Bok Bok have created this bass-heavy remix of the UK Funky anthem, probably the biggest club song in London right now.
Piddy Py - Giggle Riddim
Possibly the best Bassline / 4x4 Grime instrumental ever. Insane hyperactive wobble bass and a menacing baby giggle sample mixed with gunshot clicks.
Pitbull - Floor On Fire (Feat. Machel Montana & Lil Jon)
Pitbull always genre-hops but I didn't expect him to do a Soca track. This is a high energy banger. Hearing Lil Jon on a Soca beat is a little disarming but it works.
Jamie Foxx - Blame It (DJ Tedsmooth Remix)
They're playing this every other minute in Hot97 and Power105 right now. This remix combines the horn part from C-Murder's classic "Down for my Ni**as" with an old breakbeat.
Serani - No Games (Unfinished Business Riddim)
A heartbreaking yet danceable track from Reggae crooner Serani, also a big hit on NYC radio. Whenever I play it people say he sounds like Tracy Chapman!
Lenny Fontana - Spirit of the Sun (Bump And Flex Mix)
Just when I thought I'd heard every organ-bass driven 2-Step Garage track, I discovered this one, complete with beautiful uplifting diva vox.
Monica - Knock Knock
This is an impeccable R&B song. Monica and Missy work well as a producer / vocalist team I think. When I drop this my crew and I are immediately going crazy singing every word and ad-lib.
Roska - Elevated Level
I wonder if UK Funky producers realize that they are channeling first wave Reggaeton?
Kill Franzy - Uuuh!
Juke was born in Chicago but I'm obsessed with where Belgian producer Kill Frenzy has gone with it. Abstracted Juke-Rave with lion roar samples. 160 BPM!!!
