Another two hot but probably not-too-well-known tracks from the inbox.
First up? A guy I’ve never heard of before, John Public, an emcee from Jersey City who spits some bars over a 6th Sense beat. The track is called “Jack and Ginger” and seems to be giving me the urge to crack open this bottle of Absolut Brooklyn that is sitting right next to me. Hm. Anyway, it was a surprisingly good track from a name I’ve never heard of. Let’s see if you feel the same. If you like it, stay tuned to DJBooth.net as he will be releasing a free album (Re-Gifted: Thrift Shop Experience) on December 7th, featuring the talented Maya Azucena and production from 6th Sense, M-Phazes, and more.

Second is an offering from Beatnick and K-Salaam as they musically mesh K’Naan and The Paper Tongues. This is heat in alternative Hip Hop form. I’ll let them explain best…
“Greetings. So, I recently got a call from the good folks at A&M / Octone Records, in which they asked us to create a musical composition that contains elements of various songs from K’naan, & Paper Tongues; all meshed into one song. I am hesitant to call this a “mash-up,” simply because this would imply that we took an acapella and placed it over a pre-existing musical piece. This was not the case. Rather, this particular musical composition contains various acapellas (from the aforementioned artists) that have been intricately placed over pre-existing musical pieces, combined with a great deal of additional production.”
