Freeload: Jackie Chain f. Jhi Ali, “Rollin (DJ Ayres Remix)”

Strangely, of the numerous “Rollin” remixes that have come out since we went nuts over the original’s melancholy ecstasy (it, along with Paper Route’s many other inventive tracks, resulted in a feature in FADER #51 and a Mad Decent signing), none have captured the tone of Mali-Boi’s production. But Ayres utilizes the choir/synth fuzz of French melodramatist M83 to take it to another level of ridiculousness that Paper Route, never to be outdone, will probably top with a Celine Dion sample.

Video: Jackie Chain f. Jhi Ali, “Rollin”

In case you didn’t know, we did a feature on Paper Route Recordz in our current issue (patience, it will be online soon.), and one of the paragraphs in that story begins, The track that perhaps best captures the crew’s catalog is the Mali Boi-produced “Rollin,” featuring Jhi Ali and Jackie Chain. Now that epochal track has a video, filmed at the Apex, also mentioned in the story. It is bootleg and it is outstanding.
