Listen: La Yegros- Viene de Mi (Captain Planet Remix)
I’mma keep this brief cuz my brain be all like: d[o.O]b after hearing Kendrick’s verse on ‘Control’. Ok, sure we’re all thinking it, but dang Kenny, why did have to murder everyone on that track? WHY?! Oh and some advice Jay Electronica, maybe, just maybe you should have had a peep at Kendrick’s lyrics before you followed up with that weak-ass verse. Ya, just because I was brrapping and “oh my gawding” after Kendrick’s verse, doesn’t mean I didn’t pay attention to the soft follow up. Someone please just take me back to 1986 where the only ‘Control’ I was interested was by Janet Jackson and yes, it was nasty.
Hai, oh yeah, we played a whole bunch of other stuff in that 113 mins that Control (not the Janet version) was not on air. Sir Shant-a-Lot started off with an old-sounding-new school reggae set, then that Control track happened and I blanked out…
I’m just playing! Senor Bolivar kicked off some tropical beats that had us dancing and we ended off the show with Havknot Massive who dropped a Havknot exclusive.

Howdy! And a happy Hump Day to you. So, Jay-Z drops an album – which nearly goes platinum instantly and tweets that his favourite Britney Spears track is ‘Toxic’ and Miley Cyrus is a Twerk GOD, what in the world is going on…? But on a breakfast tip, Jay-Z favourite cereal is Cap’n Crunch – mine too. See? Rappers are just like us!
A$AP mob member A$AP Ferg graced us with an interview. After 2-hours of waiting to record said interview, Shantan quickly realised that A$AP didn’t have the same meaning as ASAP. To me, that seemed quite obvious. I mean you never see anyone write soon like $oon. Apparently it means “Always Strive and Prosper” or maybe “All Strippers Ask for Paper”.
Someone say strippers? We had the Sultan of Smut, King of Ratchet, Baron of Booty Shake, DJ Leon Smith. DJ Leon Smith has been in the Sydney DJ scene for a hot minute and he’s a part of the Stolen Records extended family. But tonight he pulled back and only went quarter ratchet on us but still laid an expletive DJ set which was all we could ask for and more.

Massive classic hip hop show tonight. On the tails of the New Frontiers supporter drive, we took it old school. Ready or Not whether you’re part of the Everyday Struggle or living the Street Life Mike Who? dropped some serious beats, so criminal it made you think about investing in a Getaway Car. But this is What We Do.
We also had the darlings of Aussie hip hop Tuka (Thundamentals) and Ellesquire (Loose Change) spit some rhymes. Despite their backstage diva antics (green tea + lemon requests) they were good sports on air and freestyled their way out of an intergalactic theme.
Closing the show was a set from NZ hip hop Don P-Money. This chap is touring Sydney and Melbourne (with the ultra fine and um, talented David Dallas) promoting his album Gratitude.
Speaking of gratitude, FBi Radio is having a super rad out-of-this-world New Frontiers supporter drive. In addition to winning cool prizes, your donation helps keep great shows like this one on air. More information here: http://fbiradio.com/newfrontiers/

Welcome aboard the tropical express; stand up, wave your flag and grind your hips as we take you to Jamaica, Latin America and select spots in the US to give you the full bashment treatment.
Getting you hyped for this Saturday’s Dutty Dance: Straya Edition, Shantan and DJ Mike Who? kicked off what could only be described as a 2-hour wall-grind, basement party (think Sean Paul Get Busy video). Beenie Man was there, so was Movado, Sean Paul rolled through and so did my girls Tanya Stephens and Lady Saw. Azealia Banks gave vocals to a sick remix and same with Busta Rhymes. DJ Mike Who? added some latin flavour to the mix with a blend of cumbia and salsa music for all you fancy-footing showoffs.
Feel left out cuz you missed the live mix? Well you should because it was of the chain. But, don’t despair, we got a podcast thingy and a playlist up somewhere…

Maybe it will all change next year, when Steve Aoki is confirmed to play the festival. But as it stands, Changing Lanes has one of the lowest Southern Cross tattoo counts of all the festivals on the Sydney music calendar. While there was a noticeable absence of shirtless bogans and 18 year old girls group dressing as sexy nurses, it did register a 9.3 on the Hipster Scale. It was definitely a much more ironic facial hair, vintage clothing affair.
In it’s second year, at a new location in Surry Hills, the festival is an easier, inexpensive, low key experience. The acts may not be as uber famous, but the crowds are a little less intense. It is more a day for enjoying drinks and sunshine with friends while casually taking in some live music.
Though I didn’t get to see heaps of the festival, because I was playing most of the day, my highlight was Joyride spinning in the hip hop room with impromptu appearances from rappers 360 and The Tongue. Joyride provided instrumentals by Mariah Carey and Ginuine, while they traded semi-battley freestyles.
