Lucky You - Eminem ft. Joyner Lucas

tempo: 76-77 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: I was wondering why the phrase 'Lucky You' sounded familiar... then remembered my Lucky Brand jeans say this behind the zipper: So let's say you're on a date. Things are going well, relations commence, and your companion sees that message. Cute? Or a mood killer? Either way, that's a lot of bravado to live up to. Brings to mind Brick Tamland in Anchorman: As for the track, try mixing with: Bam - Jay-Z ft. Damian Marley PIE - Future ft. Chris Brown Stitches - Shawn Mendes download or stream Lucky You: amazon itunes

I Love It - Kanye West & Lil Pump ft. Adele Givens

tempo: 104 bpm bpm range: 100 to 105 bpm the dj's take: The beat reminds me of Fade , which would make a nice little mix / mashup. You're probably not dropping this at a bar mitzvah, but if you spin at a shady college bar, the hook alone should get the crowd going. On a side note, nice to see Kanye paying homage to his mom with that chain. I'm sure she's beaming down proudly from the ether as he spits gems like 'you're such a fucking hoe' and 'I'm a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck.' Wash your mouth out with soap, mister: Would you get a chain like that? Apparently they have them on Amazon . So go get one, and if someone makes fun of you, just shrug your shoulders and tell them it's a phase. As for the track, try mixing with: Don't Matter To Me - Drake, Michael Jackson Havana - Camila Cabello Truffle Butter - Nicki Minaj ft. Drake & Lil Wayne Don't Quit - DJ Khaled, Calvin Harris, Travis Scott, Jeremih N

Before You Walk Out Of My Life - Monica

tempo: 85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Track #10 in our tenthirtynine mix (23:59): Hard to believe Monica was 14 when this came out. At that age, I was holed up in my basement after school trying to beat Legend of Zelda . Makes sense as a final song to gently nudge the crowd out the door on a Thursday night. Not as obvious as End of the Road , but it should get the job done. Try mixing with: Feel Me Flow - Naughty By Nature Jesus Walks - Kanye West Call Out My Name - The Weeknd Plain Jane - A$AP Ferg No Limit - G-Eazy ft. A$AP Rocky, Cardi B Rude Boy - Rihanna Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z ft.

Eastside - benny blanco, Halsey, Khalid

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range: 85  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm the dj's take: Interesting profile on benny blanco in the New York Times - I like how he got the testimonials from different artists. He should go on LinkedIn and get some other collaborators to post on his profile about his interpersonal skills. Although to be fair, I tweeted the one positive testimonial this site has ever received . Feels nice to have someone other than your mom vouch for you, right? As for the track, try mixing with: You Owe Me - The Chainsmokers EL BAÑO - Enrique Iglesias ft. Bad Bunny You're All I Need To Get By - Method Man & Mary J. Blige Baby Baby Baby - TLC I Like Me Better - Lauv A Lie - French Montana, The Weeknd, Max B Cold Water - Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber Cheap Thrills - Sia Never Give Up - Sia Ridin Solo - Jason Derulo Airplanes - B.o.B Flashing Lights - Kanye West Replay - IYAZ Take On Me (Kygo Remix) - a-ha Renée - Lost Boyz Stand By You - Rachel

Feel Me Flow - Naughty by Nature

tempo: 90 bpm bpm range:   85  to  90 bpm ,  90  to  95 bpm The DJ’s Take: Song #9 from our tenthirtynine mix (21:13): A perfect track for a block party or summer backyard barbecue. In fact, check out this hefty claim from wikipedia : If that isn't authoritative, I don't know what is. Worth a permanent spot in your throwback hiphop rotation.
