Mike Baker the Bike Maker - Golden Girl feat. Trackademicks & 1-O.A.K.

Something special for the weekend to whet your appetites for next week's Body Of Work release.

Trackademicks, 1-O.A.K. and I rocking over Metro Area's "Caught Up".

It's a song about the ladies, but the sentiments are there for all to enjoy, cuz we all have that special someone that makes up feel "caught up". In the case of me and my brothers, it's that "Golden Girl".

No Betty White.

Mike Baker the Bike Maker - "The Solution (Mile High)" prod. by 1-O.A.K.

DJ Lowkey asked me if I'd wanna contribute anything to a mixtape celebrating his and Sounds Supreme's 3 years of their party, The Solution.

I hit up 1-O.A.K., told him my idea, he laced the beat, and VOILA!

You can go ahead and read more, and download the mixtape, (which is hosted by U-N-I and Ro BLVD, and features the likes of Tanya Morgan, Donnis, Exile, TiRon, Moe Green , El Prez and more,) in it's entirety HERE.

1-O.A.K show this Thursday, March 4th!

The Freshman of the Honor Roll is getting down this Thursday March 4th in San Francisco at Coda Jazz Supper Club. He's gonna be performing new songs off his upcoming EP and doing some special covers, cuz he's the shit, and he can do that.

It's sure to be a blast, and there may be some surprises in store.

Be there, or be an L7.

And to hip you to game, Whiz dropped this jewel of info on the HNRL blog:

"Last month 1-O.A.K.'s remix of Little Dragon's "Blinking Pigs" was selected by the group themselves as the winner of Filter Magazine's remix contest. But when I thought about it, the irony of the remix being named "God Made Me Funky" could have been obvious to most crate diggers who might have instantly recognized the break, but there is a deeper irony. The reason being is that "God Made Me Funky" was originally recorded by Herbie Hancock's Headhunters as the music for a radio commercial for famed Oakland BBQ joint Everett & Jones. The legend has it that once the commercial started airing people liked it so much they began to request it thinking it was a song instead of a commercial. And as with 1-O.A.K.'s remix, it's the deep funk of the drums that makes the song go. Those are the drums of Oakland's own and Headhunters' drummer Mike Clark, who confirms this story in his interview in the Wax Poetics Issue #28. Town Business indeed!"

Little Dragon Feat. 1-O.A.K., Blinking Pigs (1-O.A.K. ‘God Made Me Funky Remix’)

The freshman of the Honor Roll, my lil' brother-from-another-mother, 1-O.A.K. has done it again with this winning remix of Little Dragon's "Blinking Pigs".

Not one to let an opportunity pass, 1 Of A Kind always lends his vocals to the track, and gives Yukimi Nagano some company of the sangin' tip.

It slaps. It goes. You need this remix in your life. Get it HERE!

HONOR ROLL!!!
