Video: Red, “I Should Tell Ya Momma On You”

Way back in January of this year, we briefly retold the story of Red the G-Funk Beatboxer and said that he had a chance to topple Animal Collective as the mayor of Jam City. We also said his single was going to be out in February. So, while both of those things might seem a little presumptuous in retrospect, we can at least now say with full confirmation that Red’s first single is available on iTunes right now via HVW8, that it still jams hard, and that it has two incredibly good remixes by FADER favorites Dam Funk and CHOPS. Stones Throw is putting it out on 45 as well, and we’ll throw the link up for that as soon as they do. Sales proceeds will go to getting Red back on his feet after some hard times, so buy several copies and give them away as tokens of your good taste.

FADER/Southern Comfort 7″ Series #6: BLK JKS & Esau Mwamwaya

The 6th edition of the highly-coveted, always banging FADER/Southern Comfort 7″ Series is now in the office, and maybe it’s the smog, but we are tripping heavily on both the cover and songs within. For this one we got our dudes BLK JKS to tear up “Umbzabalazo”, given the Super Freq mix by Greg Mann, and Esau Mwamwaya and Radioclit sent us a snazzy version of the epic “Chilombo.” Not to be outdone, quiltmaker extraordinaire Ian Hundley sent us a gigantic pattern which we then shrunk to fit.

All of this can be yours for the mere price of nothing by emailing contests@thefader.com with “quilts” in the subject line.
