Exactly. What else would you expect out of Brooklyn?
Anyways, Santi has teamed up with turntable mixmaster/producer/DJ delight Diplo (M.I.A.'s ex-boyfriend) to produce some of his best work since the Piracy Funds Terrorism vol 1 mixtape several years ago. Top Ranking mixtape is a 75 minute blend of unreleased cuts with hints of club, dub, old school, hip hop, dancehall, reggae and 2 step. In a typical Diplo fashion you can also expect tracks from other artists to create of sense of the direction they were going and what influenced the composition .. so expect to hear Ratatat, Warrior Queen, Three 6 Mafia, Tony Matterhorn, Radioclit, Benga, and Barrington Levy among many others on there.
I was bumping this all day Saturday when Jaylen and I made a B-line for the local mall. It was a FOOL on tax-free weekend, but that's an entirely different blog entry.
This is a track UNRELEASED not on the CD called Starstruck
Lets test our luck with the RIAA and see if they mind me posting this joint off the compilation. "Guns of Brooklyn" is a top notch cover of the CLASSICCCCCCCC "Guns of Brixton" by The Clash. Santogold has an everlasting place deep down in my heart! Mad breezy! All I need is some Vodka & Schnapps.
