blackbird bizness.

this is a very very good remix by blackbird blackbird of tUnE-yArDs' bizness. it's fair to say i'm a big fan of san francisco's blackbird blackbird - not only can they remix but they have some great songs of their own.

this remix is a real undiscovered internet gem, so do enjoy.

in other news, jj's collaborated with Ne-Yo - We Can't Stop

i don't think they're actually pals, i think Ne-Yo sent his song to this & they forwarded it on to jj + then ace-ness unravelled.

check this out to see that there are more +more - like Clams Casino.
