So, I was in Central Station’s Baldwin, Long Island store the other day, chopping it up with DC about our old homie Reek Da Villian, who is making a good deal of noise from out of my Strong Island homeland, and I have to admit, I raised an eyebrow when told the full lineup for the remix to “Mechanics,” the song with Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz that we delivered to you guys last month. Joining Busta Rhymes & Swizz Beatz, Vado, Camron, Method Man, Nelly and DJ Khaled.
That’s pretty heavy backup for a “new jack”.
Well, the remix dropped today, and far as I’m concerned, it’s buzzworthy. Reek has been getting a lot of industry support, and we’re watching, as the recurring criticism of the New York hip hop scene has been the lack of unity between NY artists, as well as the lack of assistance from vets to new schoolers. Reek Da Villian is a perfect example of how this might be changing.
Check out the star-studded remix to “Mechanics” below. Shouts to the Conglomerate. Oh, and check Reek Da Villian & Busta Rhymes on MTV’s RapFix if you missed it.
