Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - "Video Codes" (Ludacris vs. FKA Twigs)

Happy Sunday! I’m spending the morning nursing a hangover; it’s the holiday season so things have been a bit slower here at camp Onomatopoeia while I’m out being festive in real life. Hopefully I’ll get some posts up this week before I go on vacation to the Great White North starting things off with a new exclusive live remix I threw together of 2014 favorite FKA Twigs and Ludacris. Stream, share and download “Video Codes” from the player below..

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Ludacris Mohawk” (Ludacris vs. Hudson Mohawk) & “Swimming Chimes” (Kendrick Lamar vs. Hudson Mohawk)

This week’s exclusive remix comes in the form of a double header with Hudson Mohawk’s “Chimes” acting as the inspiration. I tried a bunch of combos, several of them worked, many did not but these two were probably my favorite from the lot. “Ludacris Mohawk” is the cleaner and older of the two  but I’ve been wanting to use Kendrick’s “SwimmingPools” for a while now and the two fit well so despite some of that high-hat residue remaining I figured just do it!

Video: Big Boi - "In the A" (featuring T.I. & Ludacris)

The latest Big Boi album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors unfortunately didn't do it for me.  I was a big fan of the previous Son of Chico Dusty album but this one leaned too much of indie rock influences and seemed muddled and all over the place.  One of the stand out tracks though is "In the A" which is an ode to the ATL featuring T.I. & Ludacris.  

The video is a pretty standard hiphop video with the 3 of them standing around w/ a bunch neighborhood dudes and random shots of Atlanta.  If you are from the ATL it can feel pretty nostalgic, if not.. mehh... at least it is shot and editing with rapid cuts, keeping one from tuning out.  The director is a Greek boyz... Alexi Papalexopoulos.
