First track is a mash up of Mobb Deep’s “Shook One’s Pt II” vocals blended together Bob Marley’s “I Shot The Sheriff” by Jon Moskowitz & Swindle. They also layered a beat on top of the Bob Marley classic which gives the mash-up more of a hip hop feel. These guys actually made a whole album of Bob Marley/Mobb Deep mash-ups called The Infamous… BOBB DEEP, Queensbridge meets Kingston. It’s a cool album but this is by far the best track. I love this one…

Second track is “Last Dance” from B.R.A.M., an act backed by everybody’s friends, Vosotros (music for you all – www.vosotros.com). Thanks to Neely for sending the link to check out the self-titled album. Bram Inscore lead’s the band and the sound and feel of the album is a great combination of dance-rock and pop. It’s no wonder that Bram is currently the bass player for Beck’s new touring band. They’ve been all over the UK, Europe, and across the US and Canada so Bram has some serious touring experience. Bram is definitely a talent you want to keep checking out (along with the girl playing guitar for Beck’s touring band…).
