Teki hit us up with a little something to make us smile but we’ll let him do the talking.

“Here’s a little gift from my friend Gonzales (who as some of you may know is currently wrapping up his next album produced by none other than Boys Noize). It’s some sort of piano remix of the old 50 cent hit “Many Men”. It’s taken from his piano mixtape “Pianist’s Envy” dropping soon on the interwebs, on which he plays piano over rap instrumentals, remixes rap acapellas with piano on top, and re-arranges house songs piano/orchestra style, it’s pretty unique and amazing. Here’s a word about it from the maestro himself

“Chilly Gonzales presents the first-ever piano mixtape “Pianist’s Envy”. You know those rap beats and electro songs with almost nothing in them? “Tipsy”, “Grindin’”, “A Milli”, “Rollin’ and Scratchin’”, “Single Ladies”? Chilly goes all Liberace on these beats with his piano and his orchestra. Claude Von Stroke, 50 Cent, Kelly Clarkson, Rocky Balboa and Gonzo himself all make cameos. Dropping mid-February 2010 via chillygonzales.com.”

More new stuff from Swedish rappers!

J-son and Same Blood is doing it big time with this release! The track “Head In the Sky” is part of the album “Never Half Stepping” that is released on November 26th.

J-Son has previously done collabs with Malmös finest Lazee as well as big time Americans like 50 Cent on the track “Extacy” and with Lil Wayne on “Loser”. Here is tells us to focus on the inside and not on the bling we carry!

I really enjoy this track but I kinda wish that he put in some more of those ravey trance pads that we get in the beginning ;) Maybe we could get Dre Skull on the refix.

I am really excited to tell you that J-Son is coming to Malmö on October 28th for a performance at Smuts!
