Michael Jackson, “Beat It (Jakwob and Jestar’s Wakowob)” MP3
After downloading about 90,342 MJ tribute mixes and attending 32 different MJ-themed events (including one spin class dedicated to his post-Off the Wall work), it seemed there would be no new way to pay respects to the greatest of all time. But Jakwob, whose Ellie Goulding remix we’re unceasingly wild for, and his old pal Jestar, have remade “Beat It” into a true-blue Brit bass-wobbler with echoes of dub that’s more creative than most of the homages being horseshoed onto el internet. It’s refreshing… and this shit stays being sad.

Freeload: DJ Ayres’ Michael Jackson Mix MP3
- story THE FADER
Since you are now concurrently overwhelmed by and fiending for a refresher course/memory wax on the dearly departed King of Pop, you should revisit the Michael Jackson mix DJ Ayres made for Brooklyn radio last year. It spans Jackson’s whole musical life, which essentially began when he was a little badass baby. Literally no kid star will ever be that talented. It’s chronological, from “I Wanna Be Where You Are” to “I Can’t Help It,” “Say Say Say” to “Remember the Time” to “Butterflies.” Rest in peace to a genius.

Lloyd Banks f. Nipsey Hussle, “Me and My Strap” MP3
- story THE FADER
It wouldn’t be almost-summer without Banksy’s cigar-resin gruff growl reminding us that when weather gets hot, mean shit goes down. We do not advocate gun violence, but we definitely advocate Nipsey Hussle cracking off his verse with an audible sneer, the sound of actual shots popping. Side note: Nipsey Hussle is basically the nicest dude ever.

Lil Wayne, “Fix My Hat” MP3
- story THE FADER
It took us a day to get around to this one because we’ve been so busy reading about Wayne suing Jim Jonsin because Wayne got sued over the sample in “I Feel Like Dying” by that song’s publishers who now want to see the receipts from Carter III because, as they say, Wayne used “I Feel Like Dying” to promote the album. Hate to break it to those dudes but unless they own a piece of “A Milli” their claims are crazy dubious. Let’s hope the same soap opera doesn’t mushroom out of this new one, supposedly off The Rebirth, because we would like to see Wayne get rich enough to buy as many hats as his heart desires.
