Yes, I know I'm posting tracks that are over three years old, but as I was listening to my iPod today I was reminded how great Kid Cudi is, so I decided to share two of my all time favorite Cudi tracks. If you don't have these in your blazing collection they are the essential definition of chilled out hip hop with incredible lyrics. I'm always overtaken with chills when I listen to Heaven at Nite. I've really been disappointed with Cudi recently though. He seems to have dropped his rapping in favor of more of a sing song type rapping with his mainstream releases. Hopefully Cudi will release more tracks like this in his upcoming album. For now though enjoy these!

Cryptex - Crunk Life Mixtape: Sick Nasty Glitch Tape!!
If you couldn't already tell I am a huge glitch fan. I have already featured quite a few glitch tracks on the site and I was going to try and give it a rest until I heard this brand new mix from Cryptex who remixed Drive It Like You Stole It and Carry Out. The nearly half an hour mix never loses any energy with its hip hop origins and is glitched up to the max! After listening to the first 30 seconds I guarantee you'll download the track. Cryptex has yet to not amaze me with what he has been dropping. Enjoy!

Bassnectar - Magical World (Ft. Nelly Furtado): Nastyyy Dubstep Banger!!!!!!
Title: Magical World
Artists: Bassnectar Ft. Nelly Furtado
Genre: Dubstep
Back Info: After I posted Bassnectar's Sick Remix of Ellie Goulding's Lights it became an instant hit and the most played track on the site. I am huge Bassnectar fan myself so I decided to share one of my all time favorite Bassnectar tracks ever, Magical World, but instead of describing it myself here are Bassnectar's own words,
"It is a musical mutatant marriage between elements of my song ‘Timestretch’ and Nelly Furtado’s classic “Turn Out The Lights”. A few weeks ago i heard a bootleg by SLOF MAN; a dope remix of Nelly Furtado’s song, but his bassline was NOTE FOR NOTE identical to Timestretch. My first thought was “oh daym this is going to mix perfectly with timestretch” and as i listened more i decided to take the mix further. So i re-tuned elements of my track, and re-mixed it into a more straightforward arrangement, laid bits of the acapella over the beats, and went to work. My buddy Sayr even suggested a different melodic idea for the bassline, and my homies at Arlyn Studios in Austin stretched and edited her vocals, doing micro-tuning and loving it up. It was a group effort, and of course it is an unofficial bootleg, i decided to call it “Magical World”. I played it on repeat all weekend and on multiple occasions my body was helplessly covered in waves of goosebumps. I was overcome by thoughts of how special it is to be alive, and how magical it truly is!!!"

Miracle - Big Jet Plane: Chilled Out Hip Hop Blazer
Title: A Big Jet Plane
Artists: Miracle and Angus & Julia Stone
Genre: Hip Hop
Back Info: So I have recently become a huge fan of this track after a buddy of mine in Australia told me about it. Miracle is a brand new artist out of Australia with a lot of potential and just recently breaking through opening for artists like Lupe Fiasco. He sort of reminds me of Tinie Tempah but a little more laid back. In this track though, Miracle samples fellow Aussies Angus & Julia Stone's indie track Big Jet Plane for a chilled out blazer that your sure to enjoy.
Why Its a Blazer: Miracle has got a real chill flow that goes really well with the original tracks slow melody.

Trep Palms - In Your Eyes (Ft. Timeflies): Sickkk Trippy Blazer!!!!
I wanted to switch things up a bit so I'm going give this template a whirl, so be sure to comment with some feed back
Title: In Your Eyes
Artists: Trey Palms Feat Timeflies
Genre: Hip Hop
Back Info: I know I just featured Timeflies a few days ago with their track Cars, Money, and Fame, but when I hears this song I had to post it. After starting to work with Trey on the production of his upcoming mixtape, Rob Resnick put this together to feature Cal from Timeflies on the hook and Trey Palms on the verses. The outcome is absolutely nasty blazerr.
Why Its a Blazer: Basically, Rob kills the beat on the track and Trey's vocals are so chill. I can't even begin to describe it so you'll have to give it a listen for yourself to see what I mean. Hopefully we'll be seeing some more upcoming collaborations from these two artists again soon.
Keep checking out Blazers & Bangers and be sure to share it with your friends!!!

Cars, Money, and Fame - Timeflies: Awesome banger party song!
Recently I've been listening to a lot if new East Coast music from a bunch or brand new up and coming artists. One of those who really caught my eye is Boston based group Timeflies. Comprised of Producer/DJ Rob Resnick and vocalist Cal, Timeflies is a unique group with a lot going for them, just have a listen to this song, Cars, Money, and Fame, and you'll see what I mean. Cal is surprisingly talented at not only singing, but throwing out some sick raps as well. Combined with Rob's super catchy beats, I can see them getting some serious airplay If they put out more tracks like this. Be sure to check out more of their music via their website, itunes, and future posts if you like what you here. Enjoy!
