Snoop Lion – No Guns Allowed (ft. Drake & Cori B.) [Produced by Major Lazer]

artworks-000043420448-wui40q-original

The release of Snoop Lion’s album Reincarnated is approaching us quickly. On April 23rd we will see if Snoop dropping the “Dogg” and adding the “Lion” and going down to Jamaica to record a brand new “reggae inspired album” was all worth it. From the songs to release so far, “La La La”, “Here Comes the King”, and the brand new, “No Guns Allowed”, I couldn’t be more pumped for this medication music. Snoop tactfully brought some major reinforcement onto this track as it features: Major Lazer (producing), Drake (vocals), Cori. B (vocals), his baby mama Shante Broadus (vocals), Stewart Copeland of The Police (percussion), and sampling Beirut’s hit track, “Nantes”. Snoop just came off two massive performances, as he played both weekends of Ultra and this song can serve as the perfect cure for those in the post Miami blues. Definitely make sure to check this one out and check back up as we’ll have all the latest updates on Major Lazer & Snoop Lion’s highly anticipated album Reincarnated!

Dash Berlin – California Love [Free Download]

‘California Love’, the infamous hip hop track originally performed by West Coast rap legends, 2pac and Dr. Dre, has just been remade into a euphorically produced trance track by none other than the iconic Dutch producer, Dash Berlin. The mix features a heavy synth progression and, of course, the universally recognized chorus from the original rap anthem. Not only is the track an admirable allusion to the past, but it is available for free download. N-joy.

Vato Gonzalez & Diplo – Rasclat Riddim (Original Mix) [Free Download]

Vato Gonzales had originally produced his single ‘Badman Riddim’ which made the Top 10 UK charts. But by teaming up with Mad Decent’s head honcho, Diplo, the pair shut it down with their moombahton inspirted collaboration to ‘Rasclat Riddim’. Luckily, these two were nice enough to provide us this hooky, heavy bass track with its free download! And who knows what’s next on Diplo’s plate. Already with his recent release of ‘Express Yourself’ and currently working on two separate tracks with the legendary Usher as well as Snoop Dogg, it’s safe to say 2012 will have it’s own Diplomania takeover.
