Video: Busy Signal, “Hott Ed Medley”
- story Peter Macia
FADER Issue 56 cover star Busy Signal put an album out last year that was so full of jams we had to ban it from office play because people were getting hurt trying to dagger the recycling bin. Less than a year later he’s put out a slew of even more dangerous songs and someone decided to make a video for a lot of them all at once. Surprisingly, where we would have shot the whole thing on green screen and inserted found photos from Flickr in the background, they actually went for different concepts for each segment and made them all look pretty good. To get most of the songs on the medley—”Da Style Deh,” “Picante,” “Up In Her Belly,” “Decide Fi Answer,” “My Money,” “Hustling” and “Question”—just scroll through this. (via Heatwave)
Video: Major Lazer, “Pon De Floor”
- story Matthew Schnipper
Like the song, the video for Switch and Diplo’s acid wash dancehall experiment, Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor,” does not make very much sense—but in a good way, like extreme jet lag or Sam Jackson in Unbreakable. The Eric Wareheim (of Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job) directed video is a dayglo explosion sequel to his “Parisian Goldfish” for Flying Lotus, with the two dancers/humpers expanded (and now including Skerrit Bwoy!) and given a suburban home to run around in aimlessly, like malfunctioned, horny and frightened Sims.
Freeload/Stream: 77Klash + Miss Banks + Drop The Lime Megapost
- story THE FADER
Last time we posted about Miss Bank$, we were hoping 77Klash would link her up with some properly tweaked beats, and email has answered our prayers. “P-U-S-S-Y” is Miss Banks over Klash’s Skully riddim (the same he went over for “Caroline,” which is on a FADER 7-inch and easily downloadable). It is possible this song is entirely too raw for a girl who we think is still in high school. Should we even be allowed to listen to this? Is Trina her mom? Either way, she definitely says “the weed is smelling like shampoo.” We can’t print any of the other lyrics. Klash is working on a Skully riddim comp and has a slew of folks planned.
Klash also sent over his new song “Dangerous Nights” from a different EP he has coming out. Drop The Lime produced this it and brings them both solidly pointed in the half direction between weirdo British people with face piercings and serious weed habits that are obsessed with reggae and dancehall and the people in NY and LA (and on the internet) that like to stay out really really late in dark clubs hitting themselves in the face because the bass is too deep. Majorly deep. Check out a stream of that song below and download the Miss Bank$’s filthiness.
