Top 5 Songs To Smoke To This Week
Out on Yoruba Records, I was just blessed with this dj promo. Man! Definitely get asses shaking (pon de replay). Oveous building a definitive catalog of songs that will stand the test of time.
Incredible SADE remake featuring the dynamic Sheleah Monea on vocals. Doug Gomez delivers a classic! Ezel and Shawn Lucas lend a hand on bass, piano and solo. The entire package is simply essential, and out on Open Bar Music.
He’s an example and blueprint inspiration for us all — Grammy winner, huge in the DJ market. As a producer, he’s surely arrived at mainstream success and keeps pushing boundaries. He’s a disrupter but in a good way.
And why not?
Who says we have to limit ourselves to just the club. This track’s out on Ultra Music.
Another classic redrop this time touched by maestro Osunlade, out on Memories. It’s on my list of killers this year.
Cotto’s resume speaks for itself. While I love his remix work, it’s his productions that make great head turners. Standout latin grooves. Big Room Sounds! That’s all we need.
