Bonus: F3la Kut! - Expensive Sh!t
King Most sent this to me. I had the good chance to meet him and hear him DJ at APT in NYC alongside Rich Medina. This was the day after Obama's Inauguration and NYC was vibing, and so was King Most who had just arrived from Washington, DC straight from the Inauguration. He's the man and he hails from San Fran wearing the DJ, remixer, and producer hats. He's produced for Aloe Blacc, DJ'ed for Kero 1, is part of the Plug Label family and wears woman's underwear. (only on Halloween).
King Most takes Fela Kuti's classic "Expensive Shit" and flips it with a stuttering chopped beat that lands it somewhere between afro-disco and b-more. This adds a new dimension to the Common track and this is what remixes are all about. New breath and life to a song that had many people standing on one side of the fence or the other - they either loved it or hated it. I was on the loved it side. Now King Most is a name I check for when looking for bumpin remixes.
