After burning up the airwaves with the original, it was only right that A$AP Ferg requested a verse from Shabba Ranks to make the remix. “Shabba Ranks (Remix)” also features Busta Rhymes and Migos, who had a hit with “Versace“. This was a decent effort as many haven’t heard a Shabba verse in years and Busta Rhymes had to help represent on the microphone. The Migos feature was an odd one though. A$AP Ferg’s “Trap Lord” album is still in stores. Is this remix a sign of new things to come from Shabba? Maybe. Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Just hold on, you’re going home! After teasing it on his Instagram, Trabass finally released his remix to Drake’s “Hold On We’re Going Home“. Titled “Sidechick You’re Going Home“, Trabass lets his girl on the side know that it’s time to pack up and leave. Not a bad effort from Trabass, DJs could mix this with the original song and could have the same effect on patrons. It’s only entertainment, listen and laugh!

On tonight’s episode of The Voice a couple contestants faced elimination with the help of The Voice Results. Before that there were performances from all contestants, one of them came from a duo of Caroline Pennell and our own Tessanne Chin. Performing singer Lorde’s “Royals”, the two singers handled their duty although in some parts Tessanne took over with her delivery and accent. With these two advancing to next week’s live show, we look forward to the musical numbers planned. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
The house call has finally been given a visual for the public to see! Directed by Duane G. and guest starring Shayne G., Dreggae makes Jewel Melissa’s house call his mission all while avoiding her boyfriend played by Shayne. From recording in the studio to chilling on Jewel’s couch to hiding in her house, Dreggae had to be slick in order to avoid confrontation. Great visual, I just wished it was longer like a mini movie.
