#TBT DJ Ayres – Best Of Young Jeezy
Posted: February 12, 2015 Filed under: DJ Ayres, TBT | Tags: Best Of Young Jeezy, DJ Ayres, TBT
Young Jeezy’s catalog has been essential since “Dem Boyz” & “So Icy” and The Snowman arguably has the best ad libs in rap. For our TBT this week, we revisit when Ayres pulled the power move back in 2008 and knocked out this Best Of Young Jeezy mix with 34 essentials from the early half of Jeezy’s catalog. Time machine turn up here like woah.

Whether it’s his graphic design chops, his DJ sets, his Fool’s Gold crew, or his production work… Nick is that dude. Here is the lead single, “Wuts That” featuring B.I.C., off of his upcoming Smoke Machine album, which is due to drop April 28th. The tune and the video are both a lot of fun. You can cop the single here and get prepped for that debut full length coming soon.

#TBT DJ Eleven – Winter Sadness
Posted: February 5, 2015 Filed under: DJ Eleven, TBT | Tags: DJ Eleven, TBT, Winter Sadness
While so many of us on the east coast are recovering from our 2nd winter storm in a week, the feels of staying under the covers and locking into so much Netflix are very real. Even though being sad is kind of a movement now, DJ Eleven was helping you appreciate seasonal depression disorder before it was cool. Classic Soul, Hip-Hop and Reggae on full display here with a side of hot cocoa and your trusty space heater.

FOTR: Skinny Friedman

Skinny Friedman is a longtime homie and it was a treat to have him catch wreck last weekend at The Rub. While he’s become a great music writer (as a steady contributor to Noisey among others) and a beast on the beats, his DJ sets never fail to be a blast!
For more, check his Chobani and Adderall 4 The Fall Classic mixtape from a couple months ago. So very tastefully turnt.

Ayres here, please allow me to interrupt the regularly scheduled program to pat myself on the back a little. Here’s a mix I did for Malibu Rum early last year, and then promptly forgot about. Nearly 70,000 streams later, it topped Mixcloud’s Best of 2014 list. To celebrate, I’ve uploaded a “Director’s Cut” of the mix – a little bit different second version which was rejected in favor of the original version I gave them.
