Wyclef Makes a Rare Deep House Cameo

I've always been a Wyclef fan. Ever since The Fugees, I've enjoyed his diverse collection of music. Even though he claims that his first record ever was a House track on Big Beat Records, I don't remember hearing it. My lack of recollection made his cameo on Gorgon City's Zoom Zoom all the more enjoyable.

Deep House is in full effect to the point of it sounding monotonous on the collabo below. Gorgon City knows how to make a classy club beat, but they haven't deviated too much from their go-to sound. I enjoyed the novelty of hearing Wycelf's unique vocals over a swanky club, but I wasn't blown away by the end result. Hopefully you find it to be more than a novelty like I did...#ZoomZoom

"Devine Sorrow I Thank You For the Joy That Follows"

I can't say enough kind words about artists that use their talents for philanthropy. About a year ago, I posted Kill Paris's remix of Far East Movement's There Will Be No Rain that was created for the Dance(Red) album. Shoot if (Red) is going to help spearhead the movement to eradicate the world of AIDs in 30 years, then it's songs like the one below that will be needed to keep the momentum going.

Fresh off news that Avicii will be releasing a new EP, he and Wyclef let loose and inspirational electronic ballad. I'll admit, it was stylistically intriguing to hear Wyclef singing with a bit of an echo. It was a cool touch that set the tone with the feel good synths to follow. It's a win-win no matter how you slice it because if you cop the track, you'll be donating to a worthwhile army that is on the front lines of the fight against AIDs...#DivineSorrow

Are You An 80's Baby?

This one snuck under the radar on my past month's Song List I send out, mostly because I'm not a huge fan of Busta or @50CENT in general. Off top the synthesizer lead in, followed by the upbeat roll and steady knock of the beat make it an infectious, head nod inspiring listen. Even more interesting is Wyclef's influence as he adds a verse at the end that is more singing than rapping, which gives way to the roar of the guitar riff toward the end of the track. Can't even find production credits on this one, but if you're out there serious daps & lbs on the beat.

By the end of the track @WYCLEF will have you humming the "Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh" and @BUSABUSSS's slow bars on his verses provide a potent contrast to the tempo of the beat, almost a polar opposite of the fast flow he's known for. Real chill heat rock #IMO, not a tough sell at all if you give it a chance...
