Sean Kingston – Letting Go ft. Nicki Minaj (Kingdom Dub)

There is a good chance a song is going to be ridiculous when there are two air horn drops in the first 30 seconds–but don’t be scared, Nicki Minaj will be your savior as strong dub bass hits will deliver you from evil. Though the original “Letting Go” from Sean Kingston ft. Nicki Minaj is standard auto-tuned, radio fare, this mix by Kingdom ditches the repetitive chorus, slows it down to dubspeed, and makes the beat count. More fire from Nicki Minaj, less Sean Kingston–a very nice upgrade.

Brooklyn-based Kingdom, whose “That Mystic” EP was released in July by Night Slugs, has been pumping out originals and clean remixes like “Letting Go” (Kingdom Dub) since 2006. His newest remix of Sleigh Bells’ “Tell ‘Em” further proves that he’s not afraid to sometimes “fix what ain’t broke” and achieve great results.

Kingdom’s Dub version of “Letting Go” is clearly a massive upgrade to the original and will definitely leave you swaying–even with the air horns.

[Hip/Hop] Kanye West feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj – Monster

Monster is a lot to take in at once. Jam packed with an indie-folk singer and four rappers competing for your attention; it can come off as a little unfocused. It isn’t a bad track. West has been making beats for more than a decade and his production is ever improving. The problem is that Kanye is his own stiffest competition and Monster doesn’t rank among his best. It’s a great beat, and it’s cool to see Kanye reach outside of the box and get Bon Iver on a track.

Monster works out great as a mixtape banger to satisfy the blogosphere while the rest of us wait on Kanye to release his new album, as well as his confirmed EP with Jay-Z.
