DOWNLOAD: !llmind – Official Remix Album
While some lucky fans were able to snag a free copy at select Rock The Bells dates the past few weeks, MYX Music Label, 2dopeboyz, NahRight, OkayPlayer, and Audible Treats are please to finally present !llmind’s Official Remix Album. No stranger to making head nodding production, !llmind’s latest effort showcases how he can flip any song and still shine as if he was the original producer. The official remix album is mixed by DJ Icewater (of The Pharcyde) and boasts 18 exclusive remixes featuring an eclectic array of artists from Common, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, The Roots, and Masta Ace to John Legend, Slum Village, and many more. Also included are four exclusive tracks from !llmind’s own group, Fortilive (!llmind, Slo-Mo, and Mushmouf).
Musically, !llmind’s Official Remix Album works perfectly to display the producer’s skills. Each song smoothly transitions into the next while showcasing !llmind’s ability to span a wide variety of musical genres. Common’s “I Want You Remix” navigates from a scratch heavy intro to a melodic chorus with congas and guitar licks rounding out the beat, while the stabbing bassline and in-the-pocket drum programming of John Legend’s “Ordinary People Remix” undoubtedly brings up J-Dilla nostalgia. While the The Official Remix Album features a number of mainstream aritsts, !llmind makes sure not to stray too far from hip-hop’s roots, including the “Conflict Remix,” featuring rhyme veterans Masta Ace and Guru of seminal rap group Gangstarr. The album ends with a bang – four bangs to be exact – as !llmind premiers a series of exclusive Fortilive tracks in anticipation of their forthcoming 2010-scheduled debut album.
