Down and Out - Cam'ron ft. Kanye West

tempo: 83 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: Track #7 in our 33XL mix (14:58): Speaking of being down and out: Just goes to show that cheaters never win. And winners never cheat.

State of Mind - Nas How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith Cheers (Drink To That) - Rihanna Location - Khalid Krippy Kush - Farruko, Bad Bunny, Rvssian Holy Key - DJ Khaled Exchange - Bryson Tiller Back Up - DeJ Loaf ft.

Exchange - Bryson Tiller

tempo: 80 bpm bpm range: 75 bpm  to  80 bpm ,  80 bpm  to  85 bpm the dj's take: The final song in our 33XL mix (19:17): Chopped this one up and made a mini-mashup with Always Be My Baby : This may be the first somewhat interesting loop I've cobbled together - managed to make him sing 'We used to... break it down.' Shoutout to Logic Pro X for helping me become the Korean Pete Rock . Some other key-compatible tracks: N.Y.

N.Y. State of Mind - Nas

tempo: 84-85 bpm bpm range: 80 bpm  to  85 bpm ,  85 bpm  to  90 bpm the dj's take: Leadoff song in mix #33 : Want to hear something happy and uplifting? Look elsewhere. But if you appreciate classic hiphop, N.Y. State of Mind is required listening. Gritty, hypnotic beat that makes you feel like you're on a subway train to nowhere. Couldn't quite find a place for it in 33XL (using Logic Pro X makes me pickier), but a throwback dj should find a place for it in his/her rotation.

Can't Take It From Me - Major Lazer ft. Skip Marley

tempo: 72-73 bpm bpm range: 70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Song #8 in episode 29 (21:03): Track title reminds me of what Boban Marjanovic must've been thinking in this video: Something to look forward to when you're playing one-on-one with your kid in the driveway. The vocal-less opening makes this a mix-friendly single; I cut it up and used it again in the transition to Whatcha Say . Some other key-compatible music: No Matter What - T.I.
