Unbeknownst to me, the team at Effiscienz was holding a remix competition for producers to flip an original song from Fel Sweetenberg’s album, The Invisible Garden. Well guess who came thru as the winner? It should come as no surprise that oft-featured producer, Cool FD stole the show by remixing the Dirt Platoon featured track, The End Of The Book.
Single You Out: Don Streat x SlumPritt x Mitch L. Hennessy x Macabeats – Sand In The Streets (prod. by Cool FD)
Only Cool FD cold mingle this horn into the darkness of the drums and then switch it up into more of a jazzy flavor. Really dope (yet intricate) work from behind the boards. Also, the combination of Streat, Pritt, Hennessy, and Macabeats with that Cool FD flavor has really become something formidable. They are cultivating a sound of their own and I hope this continues to grow into some sort of full length project. It could be the showstopper of the year (hint, hint)
Single You Out: Cool FD – Go So Hard (ft. Dray Jr.)
Cool FD does it again and makes it seem oh so effortless. This time he acquaints our readership with one Dray Jr. out of Portland. Dray Jr. has got a nice touch with this microphone and does this Cool FD beat up something proper. Looking forward to hearing more from Dray Jr. to see what he’s all about as an artist, but a nice first impression.
Single You Out: Theo3 x Korry Deez x Adam Bomb – Significant Remix (prod. by Cool FD)
This single only just came out last week but if the homie Cool FD wants to put his special twist to the cut, no one will complain. Dopeness!
Macabeats x Cool FD – Pardon My French Intro (Video)
Here’s a video single from the Orleans, France and Baltimore , Maryland collaboration, Pardon My French. Macabeats handles the M-I-C while Cool FD is the man in charge of the boards. The album is made up of that dusty, jazzy, boom-bap that heads around the world will appreciate, so make sure you cop that!
Single You Out: Macabeats x Cool FD – The Grind (ft. Dready Kruger x Mic Handz x Dirt Platoon)
Another single released from Pardon My French, which is the collaborative effort from Macabeats and Cool FD. And they bring plenty of heavy artillery to assist on the mic in the personas of Dready Kruger, Mic Handz, and Dirt Platoon. Definitely peep the album…
Single You Out: Macabeats x Cool FD – The City (ft. Ahhabyam)
Are you guys ready for this album? Cool FD is channeling his inner Hall & Oates with this smooth saxophone filled track. This is one of those ‘lean back and chill’ kind of joints. You can sit back and absorb what Macabeats is spittin’. When this album drops it’s definitely going to be a coming out party for both Cool FD and Macabeats. People are going to have to recognize the talent of both individuals b/c every track I have heard from the duo has been excellent. Pardon My French is hitting in three days.
Single You Out: Macabeats x Cool FD – Pardon My French
This is the title track from Macabeats and Cool FD’s collaborative album dropping on January 20th. This joint definitely builds anticipation for the full project. Macabeats has a very crisp and smooth delivery and I love the sound Cool FD crafted within the scale of his production. This is definitely a good way to set off 2014.
