Chadiohead 2 is the second iteration in Kamloops beat maker Pasquale’s Chadiohead trilogy. This mashup project takes the vocals from Chadio’s 2007 album Underestimated Raindrops and repurposes them over cheeky remixes produced by Pasquale using Radiohead samples. The Chadiohead series is a fun nod to his favourite band that is not to be taken too seriously, resulting in a very different take on the original songs.
The intro track for Kamloops beat maker Pasquale’s second iteration in the Chadiohead series takes Chadio‘s vocals from his original song “Gone Fishin’” off his debut solo album, Underestimated Raindrops, and pairs them with the main guitar sample from Radiohead’s “I Might Be Wrong”. The result is “I Might Be Gone Fishin’”, featuring Chadio’s classic braggadocio and rapid fire staccato over hypnotic guitar and haunting crooning in the background courtesy of Mr Yorke, plus Pasquale layers in some boom bap flavoru to tie it all together. Another fine mashup to prepare you for the upcoming Chadiohead 2.
Philadelphia producer Carl Madison pays tribute to West
Philly’s own Hip-Hop Icon Will Smith. “I’m da Producer, He’s da Rapper” fuses
Will’s classic flow and Madison’s raw and gritty approach, thus giving us a new
interpretation of the Fresh Prince that the fans will appreciate and love.
The nine-track project with scratches by DJ Sidewalk,
elevates the essence of traditional Hip-Hop. Madison cleverly fuses soul, funk,
and sounds of keys and bass to celebrate a classic album and an iconic artist.
The rendition of “Parents Just Don’t Understand, “Summertime” and
“Gettin’ Funky Wit It” will have listeners reminiscent of house parties and
boom-boxes vibrating on the b-ball courts. While “Switch” will awaken the
soul and lead listeners to the club banging out house music. Madison also
inserts comedic skits from a few of Smith’s most popular films as well as
interludes from Smith sermonizing about work ethic and excelling the craft of
artistry.
