All Of The Lights (Remix) - Kanye West feat. Lil Wayne, Big Sean & Drake [ROUGH VERSION]

A "rough draft" of the much anticipated remix to 'All of The Lights'.  No word on who'll be on the final cut but for now, it's Lil Wayne, Big Sean, and Drake (a perfect balance of GOOD and Young Money).  My man Big Sean Don sounds pretty nasty on this one.  We'll be sure to post the final version when word comes out.  Yeezy fire.

Cudi Zone [KillaGraham Remix] - KiD CuDi

Gnarly dubstep remix of this track off Cudi's rookie album.  Debetable, but while it's not as sick as Steve Aoki's cut of Cudi's 'Pursuit of Happiness' it's still a fresh well done joint.

A hot track off my boy Cam's new mixtape, 1993.  Some real nice usual flow along with a catchy hook.  For those of you who've never heard of Cam Meekins, he's an artist worth checking out.  He's definitely one of the more talented pop/rap frat rappers out there today.  Straight juice to the ears
