Piece Of Me Remix - Britney Spears ft. T.I.
My newest remix is finally available to hear and download for your pleasure. Its a remix of Britney's newest hit 'Piece of Me', and T.I.'s 'Bring Em Out' with Swizz Beats.
Piece Of Me (Alazzay Remix)
I decided to make this remix when my mate showed me a Britney/T.I. remix on his phone. Being a dj, i spotted the mistakes immediatly, some of the words didnt even match the beat- it was terrible. So i vowed to make my own Britney Spears remix using the same acapella, to show how much better the song could have been. Within a week the mix was done. I thougt it would be quite challenging, because it was my 1st Pop to HipHop mix.. but it wasnt. Piece Of Me was already a song i liked and enjoyed listening to, i even had it on my mobile, along with Bring Em Out- so i knew both songs rather well. This remix will most likely appear on my 6th or 7th album, depending on whether i do a Ghettomentary 2 or not. Im also in the middle of making a video to go on YouTube, it should be complete soon... ish.
Peace

My New Mixtape
I decided after 4 blend/remix albums to put my mixtape skillz to the test. Jay-Z has never even been in my top 10 favourite rap artist, but ive always respected him as the best lyricist alive, and by far smartest business man in hiphop. So it was easy to pick which rapper to do a mixtape on... i had so many Jay acapellas already, and knew how to get even more. I started downloading acapella albums such as Blue Prints, The Black Album, and his newest, American Gangster.
The outline for my mixtape was already set, I had a great Way I Are Jay-Z Remix, a Cant Stop/Compton Mix, and a few blends... along with some skits i recorded of YouTube, and some flowing blends, my 5th album would be complete.
The 1st mixtape i ever got was Notorious B.I.G.- Rap Phenomenon by: DJ Vlad and Dirty Harry. I really enjoyed the way most of the songs flowed into the next, using different instrumentals for each verse, and the way the DJs included interviews and live performances. So i tried to incorporate this into my mixtape. I used the same outline to make mine, but obviously did sertain things different:
Intro: A short mix of different songs put together using about 2 lines from each
Remixes: Full length song previously remixed. Sometimes joined with blends
Blends: Mix acapellas with instrumentals, switching songs before/during/after the chorus, or changing the acapella at the end of instrumentals
Skits: Use interviews and live performences in between groups of blends
Outro: Use skit from album
Overall, im extreamly pleased with the outcome. At 1st i aimed to get 50 tracks in total, because that was how many Rap Phenomenon had. I ended up having 60 tracks, a double album (they didnt fit on one disc), and a great looking album cover.
Now i have 5 completed albums: Playa's Passion, Ghettomentary, ...How i Do, Playa's Passion Vol. 2, and 'Best Rapper Alive'. Ive started making my own instrumentals and im trying to concentrate on my music production skillz rather than my djing. Altho i will still be makin thoes classic Alazzay hits. Some of my tracks will be available to hear soon. But untill then....
