Shade Cobain: Young Man (Vampire)

Here's a brand new hot 16 uploaded hours ago by Shade Cobain. I don't mean an emcee spitting a verse. I mean a talented producer knocking out bangin' beats on the 16 pads. He promises to have a lot more heat to be released in 2015. Here's your first teaser of what's to come, and you can also check his previous releases on Bandcamp. Enjoy!

Busta Rhymes: Woo Hah! (Got You All In Check) [Shade Cobain Remix]

Taking you on a blast to the past with the sounds of Busta Rhymes, but with a touch of coal and steel, making this an ironclad remix done by Pittsburgh producer Shade Cobain. Shade is offering this heat for free, for a limited time. Enjoy!

Shade Cobain: Pretty Bum (Remix) ft. Dres of Black Sheep

It's been a minute since i've posted anything from Pittsburgh producer Shade Cobain. I keep many of his tracks and remixes in constant rotation when I spin. His latest is this bangin' remix of "Pretty Bum" by DRES of the Black Sheep, that features the vocals of the lovely Jessica Mayers. This is a freebie, so jump all over it while it's available.

500th Post: Remix Explosion

Hey folks! The year 2012 has brought about another milestone for the Record Realm blog. As with any celebration, you want it to be fun and explosive. To help create the vibe, here are two dope remixes by two producers who have become fast favorites in my list of top producers/remixers.

First up we have Tall Black Guy of the Motor City who uses Camp Lo's "Luchini" to put his spin on it to really make you say "This is it. Whaaaat!"



Shade Cobain uses "Kick In The Door" by The Notorious B.I.G. as his weapon of choice to give you some serious head nod action.



We say THANKS again for your continued support to help in keeping this blog and other projects moving forward.

Follow Up: Blacktivity: Knuckle Sandwich (Official Video)

Last month I posted about Blacktivity (read more...), the Hip-Hop duo from the Mid-West who released their debut album at the end of last year. Now they follow up the release with their "Knuckle Sandwich" video. Peep it, get a few laughs and support! Now cue the fanfare...

Blacktivity: Ill-Tone + Shade Cobain

I can see Nas' point of mentioning and making music to say that "Hip-Hop Is Dead", however, when you have groups like Blacktivity (MC: Ill-Tone & Producer: Shade Cobain) helping to preserve the culture and sound, I would say Hip-Hop is definitely alive. I came across their music on my usual browsing of Bandcamp. After giving them a listen and liking what I heard, I had to switch from my computer speakers to my studio monitors to get the full sound. This IS a bump worthy album. Hurry up and grab it for FREE on their Bandcamp page while you can. I can imagine what they have in store for the near future. Keep up the good work guys!
