The
Video:
The original release of Keelay and Zaire's track "Addicts for Real" came with elements of funk and soul. The track was driven by a hip groove on a slapped bass, periodic synth runs and a straight drum section. With such a strong response to the original, Keelay & Zaire have decided to put together a MYX Music Label All-Star team on its remix, including Tunji, Kam Moye (aka Supastition), Jern Eye, Thurzday (U.N.I.), and Ragen Fykes. Speaking on why they chose to remix this song, Keelay says, "In a lot of the remixes we have been doing the past year we really wanted to bring back the remix culture of the 90's when folks would do a whole new take on a song. We decided to hop in the studio with our band The Park and completely redo the original beat with a much more live feel." While the official track has yet to be unleashed, the video gives viewers a unique inside peak into the making of a remix, giving a look at each artist laying down their verses over the newly laid live instrumentation. For those who may rarely get to see the behind the scenes work of artists in the studio, this video lets fans check a few of their favorites live and in action. Ridin High is available now via MYX Music Label.
