Kid Sister - Control - 12"

Debut release from A-Trak & Nick Catchdubs' new label, FOOL'S GOLD! It's also the long-awaited (and I mean LONG-AWAITED) on-record debut of Chicago's Kid Sister, who's been building hype in a way we haven't seen since that one girl a couple years ago. Kid Sis has been touring both coast-to-coast and international style, showing up on "CRAZY HOT ARTISTS TO WATCH IN 2007" type lists all over the place and even landing on the cover of URB with Flosstradamus. (And yes, she and J2K are really brother and sister.) Spank Rock's XXXchange provides the beat for "Control(1)," and it's monstrous - a real squelchy electro beast with panning bass and a killer hook with Kid Sis & Young Josh trading lines back and forth. Can't say enough good things about this track, so I'm just gonna stop and let you check the sample. On the flip, A-Trak flips a clever sample for the perpetually percolating "Damn Girl(2)." Kid Sis has personality for days - every line just dripping with that SASS - and Trizzy's expert scratching adds that intangible something extra. But the sleeper here will be DJ Gant-Man's remix of "Damn Girl(3)," repping Chicago extra hard with that juke style. The whole thing comes in a glossy, full-color pic sleeve with artwork by Dust La Rock. Includes dirty, clean and instrumental versions of "Control," as well as main, instrumental and "scratchapella" versions for "Damn Girl." Highly recommended.

Kid Sister- Pro Nails (feat. Kanye West) - 12"

GOT HER TOES DONE UP WITH HER FINGERNAILS MATCHIN'! This is the one, the jam everyone's been asking after since it showed up on Kanyeezee's last mixtape. The A-Trak produced "Pro Nails(1)" is dope enough on its own, but the remix(2) has the extra hot sauce with Kanye talking about Hammer Pants and being on Concrete Loop in his PJs. Oh yeah and can all the haters please sit down now and acknowledge that Kid Sis is MEAN on the mic? If "Pro Nails" doesn't convince you, flip over to "Switch Board(3)" and check her spitting at juke speeds. DJ Gant-Man - whose remix of "Damn Girl" even eclipsed the original - puts down the hype beat and even gets on the mic for the assist: "COCA COLA SHAPE WITH A ONION IN THE BACK!" Quotables for days all over this record, plus dirty clean and instrumental versions for "Pro Nails" and dirty / instrumental for "Switch Board." Another high quality pic sleeve from Dust La Rock. Highly recommended.

Kush Arora- Dub Elements Ocean EP - 12"

Imagine a mixture of instrumental dub with modern and classic 80s roots reggae elements thrown in with a tiny dash of Bhangra and an overarching dub step bass influence. We hate to use so many genre names in one sentence, but this record truly is an amalgamation of many styles and nothing like it has been done before.
