Max Tannone Presents Mos Dub (Mixtape)

blame it on JES7 April 8, 2010

I’m not usually the biggest fan of mashups, mainly because the many mashes I’ve heard felt and sounded so contrived; a capellas not matching rhythmically, garbage choice of beats among other atrocities. However, I spotted this one over at Frolab which quickly drew my attention, gave it a listen and was pretty blown away. Max Tannone, the architect behind the Jay-Z x Radiohead (Jaydiohead) project blends Dante’s vocals with some classic dub / roots reggae songs, making for a head-nod inducing mix. Can’t be mad at Hip-Hop fraternizing with reggae, especially when done right. Download link, stream, plus samples used below.
