1. Higher – Just Blaze & DJ Baaur

Just Blaze

Just Blaze

ジャスト・ブレイズがジェイZの”You Don’t Know”をサンプリングした新しいトラップ・ミュージック。某大物ラッパーをフィーチャーしたリミックスを近々リリースするらしい。サプライズ……楽しみ。

Produced by none other than Just Blaze, “Higher” features Jay-Z’s “You Don’t Know” sample became an instant hot Trap hit on the floor. Remix with a surprise guest rapper is on the way!

2. Let Me Clear My Throat – DJ Kool

DJマーク・ザ・45キングの「ザ・900ナンバー」のブレーク・ビーツにのせてDJクールがラップしている、始めから終わりまでみんなでラップしながら盛り上がる曲。DJの必須アイテムです。20近くも経つのに若い人たちがみんな知っていて驚き…….。

A song, DJ Kool rapped over the main loop taken from “The 900 Number” by DJ Mark the 45 King is still a Hip Hop classic even among young kids. This song came out almost 20 years ago and still banging!

3. Freaks – French Montana feat/Nicki Minaj

レゲエの名曲、ダグ・E・フレッシュとリル・ヴィシャスの「フリークス」のリメイク、ヒップホップ版。「マーダー・シー・ロート」で有名な Bam Bam リズムでニッキ・ミナジとフレンチ・モンタナがいい感じでライムしている。

Montana connects with producer Rico Love, who samples both Chaka Demus & Pliers’ Murder She Wrote and Li’l Vicious and Doug E. Fresh’s Freaks. Montana’s nonchalant approach and accentuate guest Nicki Minaj’s ever-changing, eccentric flow.

1. Harlem Shake – DJ Baauer

DJ Baauer

DJ Baauer

今大流行のトラップ・ミュージック。 記録的なビデオ・ヒット数、iTunesチャートも急上昇しています。

Brooklyn based DJ/Producer Baauer is back with yet another trap record “Harlem Shake.” Not just it became an instant hit on iTunes chart the video reached download limit.

2. Started From The Bottom – Drake

今一番受けているヒップホップがこれ。やはりドレイクの人気は根強い!

I would say this is the number one Hip-Hop record right now. Drake dominates the scene.

3. Apache – Sugarhill Gang

80年代のオールド・スクール・ヒップホップですが、今でも若い人たちの間で大人気。決まった振り付けがあってみんなで踊って凄く盛り上がります。

This 80’s old school classic hip-hop song by Sugarhill Gang is still popular even among young people.  Everybody hits the dance floor with “Jump On It” dance.

To all my friends! I just got back from AC (Atlantic City) and can you believe that it didn’t snow at all over the weekend!  – DJ June

1. Throw It Up – Rihanna

Rihanna

Rihanna

女の子たちの間で大人気。「かけて!」と何度もリクエストされます。

This is definitely the girl’s anthem.

2. Fuckin’ Problem – A$AP Rocky feat/Kendrick Lamar

これも何度もしつこいくらいリクエストされる曲。さっきかけたのに「もう一回!」と頼まれます。フィーチャーされている Kendrick Lamarがかっこいい。

People keep asking me to play this joint over and over. Didn’t I just play 2 songs ago? SMH

3. Be Faithful – Crooklyn Clan feat/Fatman Scoop

もう10年前以上も経つのに今だに超盛り上がるパーティー・ミックス。フェイス・エヴァンスの’Love Like This Before’のサンプリングでMCはファットマン・スクープ。これを越えるパーティー・ミックスはないんじゃないのかな。DJ Riz と DJ Sizzahandzのプロデューサー・デュオの作るパーティー・ミックスはすごくセンスがよくて、私の働いていたレコード店、「ビート・ストリート」に彼等のコーナーがあったほど人気でした。

Remember this song? We all love this one of the best party mix records of all time produced by the duo called Crooklyn Clan (DJ Riz and DJ Sizzahanz). Fatman Scoop rapped over Faith Evans’ “Love Like This Before” sample. The classic! Crooklyn Clan actually had a little corner at Beat Street (a record store in Brooklyn where I used to work) as their party mixes sold like crazy.
