This guy was one of my favorite dj's, he had skills and could rock a crowd, many dj's find it hard to bridge the gap but he did it! Famous for the celeb parties but for me it was his mash up's that did it! Salute DJ AM!
I'm in two minds about this. Timbaland always comes correct with his beats (can you actually think of a wack Timbo beat?!), but I don't think this particular beat suits Jigga that well...Of all the tracks that have leaked so far "D.O.A." and (to an extent) "Run This Town" are the only ones that have impressed me...I really hope the rest of "Blueprint 3" is solid...
However, I'm still anxious to hear this Swizz Beatz joint!
Listen/Get: Jay-Z "Venus Vs. Mars"
What do you think?
EDIT: Mix has been re-upped!
So after a few months of waiting, the third installment of the "Mash Down" series is finally here for your listening pleasure! First up, thanks to everyone who supported and downloaded Volume 2. If you're new to the blog, or have simply missed out, you can still grab it HERE
This time around, I've gone in with a mixture of Dubstep, Grime, Bassline/UK Garage, and some Southern Hip Hop from the likes of Crissy Criss, High Rankin, Rusko, Joker, Emalkay, Ruff Squad, Tempz, Bonecrusher, David Banner and more. The selection is pretty upfront and aggressive (sprinkled with a couple of classic anthems too), as I wanted to make this bang from start to finish.
As usual, there are a few scratch sections here and there, plus a few double drops for good measure :)

Here's a little something to keep you all happy before I drop "Mash Down Vol. 3" this coming Monday.
I'll be honest, I wasn't much of a fan of "Snoop Dogg Millionare". In my opinion, Snoop's flow was too lazy for Chase & Status' production. I stumbled upon the acapella of Bonecrusher's "Never Scared" whilst sorting out my crates, put 2 and 2 together, and decided to make a quick Thugstep blend...
