Jay-Z – Brooklyn Go Hard (ft. Santogold)

jay-z

Rough and ready production courtesy of one Kanye West, vocals samples of Santogold, and the lyrical stylings of Jay-Z all add up to one sic track.     The backing track sounds like a dark and mysterious marching band making its way through thick fog, think zombie dark.   This track is currently on the soundtrack for Notorious.

Lyrics snippet:

The sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
Half orphan, mama never had an abortion
Papa sort of did, still I managed to live

That last line kills…

The Bees – Chicken Payback

bees

Catchy as all hell with 60’s inspired northern soul groove.   From the get-go, this tune is pure fun and would fit nicely on a motion picture soundtrack me thinks.

From wiki:

The Bees (known in United States as A Band of Bees) are an English band from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. Although their sound is generally classified as indie rock or psychedelic music, the band have a colourful range of styles and influences, such as 1960s rock, country, reggae and jazz.
