Changes - Tupac Shakur

Speed: 111 bpm Recommended bpm range: 110 to 115 bpm The DJ's Take: Song #2 in our edition 57 mix (3:08): Search for 'tupac puff daddy' and here are the first few results: I guess that's why I dropped right into I'll Be Missing You . Came out ok; fun little flashback to maybe the biggest feud in hiphop history (real or imagined). Some other key- and bpm-compatible music: Dákiti - Bad Bunny, Jhay Cortez Watch Me Do - Meghan Trainor I Wish (My Taylor Swift) - The Knocks & Matthew Koma Feel Right - Mark Ronson ft. Mystikal Peaches N Cream - Snoop Dogg Get Down On It - Kool & The Gang Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson Doing It - Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora Jump Around - House of Pain Let's Get Blown - Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell Download or stream Changes: DJ Cheat Sheet playlist Amazon

Dákiti - Bad Bunny, Jhay Cortez

tempo: 110 bpm the dj's take: Song #4 in our edition 57 mix (7:21): Wish this song would make up its mind - you get sections with no percussion, then some light percussion, then more pounding percussion, then back to no percussion. I like sustained momentum. As a result, it took a little more thought on how to transition in and out. Overlap of notes out of I'll Be Missing You was kind of interesting, but not my favorite. Transition into Blondie's Rapture was more fun; I made it a point to put those introductory drums over the percussion-less vocals to make a mini-remix/mashup.
