King Kunta - Kendrick Lamar

Speed: 107 bpm

Recommended bpm range: 105 to 110 bpm

The DJ's Take: Has a definite 70s funk vibe, and I like it. Blast it in the car, skate to it, or groove when this comes on in the club - a rare modern hiphop track with versatility. This would make a dope little mix/mashup with Blondie's Rapture. If you're staying key-compatible with that soft guitar running through most of the song, you can also try mixing and mashing up with tracks like:

Get Down On It - Kool & The Gang
Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson
Doing It - Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora
Let's Get Blown - Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell
Hot in Herre - Nelly
Jump Around - House of Pain

If you're going down closer to around 100 bpm, try blending with tracks like Fantasy - Mariah Carey, Ride Wit Me - Nelly, Sledgehammer - Fifth Harmony, L.A. Love (La La) - Fergie, Rock Your Body - Justified, and Turn Down For What - DJ Snake and Lil Jon.

Really though, with the prominence of the drums (especially at the beginning), you should be good with anything in the 105 to 110 bpm range.

ROCKSTAR - DaBaby ft. Roddy Ricch

tempo: 90 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #1 in our chapter 51 mix (made in Logic Pro X ): Big bass, so I had to be strategic about where to transition out and into Rihanna's Work . A little more of an in-depth look, plus some thoughts on its shelf life in a dj's rotation: Bottom line, when nightlife at college bars picks up again, this will likely be in heavy rotation.

Bitches N Marijuana - Chris Brown, Tyga ft. ScHoolboy Q

Speed: 98 bpm The DJ's Take: People may complain that Chris Brown and Tyga keep coming out with tiny variations of the same song. I think it's smart - encourage dj's to play three or four of your singles in a row, and then mash them up on soundcloud without having to worry whether or not they sound right together. Mix with tracks like Loyal , Ayo , I Don't F**k With You , Team , and U Know What's Up , and you've got a key-compatible 15 to 20 minute set that should keep things moving.
