R&B/Soul: Esta – “Can’t Wait” featuring SPZRKT
December 12, 2014
They say Patience is a virtue, but some things in life are just hard to wait on. Like waiting on food at a restaurant when you are hungry or waiting in line to get into a popular club. One thing I know a lot of men can agree on is they can’t wait to see that special lady in their lives if they have said lady.
Well the DJ/Producer Esta (Soulection DJ) teams up with singer SPZRKT explaining this nicely with the track you guessed it named “Can’t Waitâ€. This track will have guys thinking they can sing to their ladies. I suggest you just play the song by Esta (featuring SPZRKT). Fellas trust me, I already attempted and the lady enjoyed the song more! Check out SPZRKT new album BONFIRE.

House Shoes – “Dirt” feat. OhNo x The Alchemist x Roc Marciano (CohenBeats Remix)
December 5, 2014
Okay, they all go in… but Roc Marci… woooo! Like he was going for that Raekwon spot!! That’s how Hip-Hop is done; CohenBeats Remix of “Dirt” (off House Shoes’ LP “Let It Go” – featuring OhNo, The Alchemist and Roc Marciano with the strong finish).
When I was in Tel Aviv a few weeks ago I linked with the homie CohenBeats (@cohenbeatsaredope).
While we were chillin’ he played me a joint that had an ill intro on it,
and I told him it would be a great fit for a remix of the Dirt joint off of
Let It Go, my debut record from a few years back. He put it together and here you go.
– House Shoes
FREE download of the hot remix linked below.

December 4, 2014
… f#ck am I gonna do? It’s too late to start over. This is the only thing I know…

Over the years, it’d be fair to say that Em has put it down on almost as many heartfelt confessional styled tracks as he has pitbull-vicious-attack tracks. This one, featuring Sia, is another of the former. “Guts Over Fear” available on the “SHADYXV” release by Eminem and various artists (out now). Visuals above. Links below.
