HiPSTERWAVE

Man you already know who it is. GFS and Noisy Meditation are hitting us with a mix that can’t be stopped. Already creating a buzz on the Internet, GFS has been doing this for a while now and his DJ skills, tastemaking talent, and production ability are on the rise. You’re really not going to find a more unique palette of music than you get from Godfather Sage.

We’re adding a mixtape category now to the music menu, purely on account of this mix. Can’t stop. Won’t stop.

By the way, Sage made this mix for the LODA crew in Washington, DC. Check them out here.

Holla at this leak from Born I Music, Zna Queene (of Lazerbitch), Godfather Sage and Kolai that will only be available for the next 24 hours.

First thing’s first, we love exciting artists. Born is exciting to us. Venturing into new, refreshing and explosive areas of hip hop & electronica from the flows to the instrumentals. When we listen to Born I Music, it’s as though Tupac Shakur has passed and been reborn as “The Born Identity.”

We’re not all that spiritual, but Born I Music inspires us to get our meditation on more and to truly “meet ourselves.” We think that if you took Shakur, Ghostface, Kanye, Kid Cudi & The Clipse, put them in a blender and applied some of what Born’s production team (Godfather Sage, Imani Beats, & several others) calls “Afro-Asian Electro-Hop”, you’ve gotten a taste of what this man is doing.

On the heels of his latest release “THE BORN IDENTITY MIXTAPE” which you can download free here. We sat down with Born to learn about the man behind the music, his dad’s cooking and how Born manages to create bass-heavy, spine-tingling songs that just make you want to max out your car system and bob your head. Get Familiar.

Born I Music: You rang? Yo. What’s poppin’ G?

Hipsterwave: Not too much. I’ve actually been listening to your new album for like the past few hours non-stop. We also tweeted about it.

Born I Music: [laughs] Cool. Okay, no doubt. You caught it to the end?

Hipsterwave: Yup. Yeah, man.

Keep it runnin’ man. Born I is back with 30 tracks that just kill it on his latest mixtape, The Born Identity Mixtape Vol. 1. Born comes with all styles and flavors on this. We hear everything from Wu Tang classics, to Clipse, to modern avant garde dub step instrumentals, to beats that sound like they were made by Guru. It’s all heat here. Basically, Born I is just about what sounds good, no matter what the instrumentals, the flow style, or the song subjects.

Who are you kidding? Download now.

Godfather Sage is at it again with a soulful remix of Amerie’s “Talkin’ To Me.” Dissolve the cliché instrumentals from the original track and replace them with a punchy yet mellow lounge vibe that GFS owns so well. Amerie’s sensual vocals are finally geared-up for the dance-floor in this retooled slow-jam. Every place that there was room for improvement in the original “Talkin’ To Me,” track, GFS has honed-in and turned something good into something great. Amerie has a beautiful voice, but her instrumentals on “Talkin’ To Me,” were under the weather, and the new life GFS has put into his remix is just what the doctor ordered.
