This week’s mixup is brought to you by my apparent new favorite jam band, Government Mule. What better track for a remix than one called “Reblow Your Mind”, and that is exactly what I intend to do.

Chant down Babylon system with truth and right, and when they come try and tell you that you aint anything in malice, hit the chalice and make them suckas face the silence!  They don’t love us now…

Hello remix followers, and welcome to week 3! So the chumps at a certain audio site wouldn't let me upload a file due to c@pyR!ght issues and I had to bring this week's mixup to you via MixCloud...  ;)

No biggie! This week I'm really mixing it up and bringing you something a little different. If you haven't heard of a band called Glass Animals yet, you should get on that real quick.  Coming out of the UK, they're doing something beautiful and unique as songwriters, with a simple electro alternative format, and some really haunting vocals to bring it all together. This track is no exception. 

Someone really important to me introduced me to this track when he was going through a difficult time, and it hurt me so much knowing this feeling all too well and not being able to help. The more I listened to this song, the more it brought back these memories and emotions that I think are important to feel and bring you down and mess you all up so that you can finally let them go and really just know who the fuck you are... songs are funny that way. They have the power to trigger these feelings in you and will forever be associated with times imprinted in our minds and souls, but they also have the power to help us heal.

This week's mix up features ProEra with a new track from Joey Bada$$ (or however the fuck clever way he spells that) and produced by Kirk Knight.  It's pretty ill, not gonna lie, I heard the beat and it was so trippy I felt like I was getting lifted...so then I got lifted and wrote this little freestyle.

If you here, you probably a hip hop head who hears higher knowledge in honest lyricists. Shit, I know I am. Aside from creating and elevating with my own music, Ima hit you with a remix every week cuz that’s how we show love. Roots Down Sound, you already know.

Just because this is week one, we kickin’ it off with a video from my man OVELA films (artists hit me up for contact info) on that fire riddim, 0 to 100, by that fly cafe con leche Drizzy. Just foolin’ around at 2am on another level, no filter, truth.

… and for the full song including The Catch Up check out the soundcloud below. One love.
