Even those with a serious distaste for Kanye West will get down to this particular version of “Touch the Sky,” seeing as it’s been chopped up and mashed together with snippets of Cage and Aviary tracks. And that’s just one cut of 34 on the new mixtape from the web’s most infamous duo, The Hood Internet.
Aaron “ABX” Brink and Steve “STV SLV” Reidell just dropped The Mixtape Volume Four via their website. I hereby challenge someone to name another place in reality (actual or virtual) where one can find Public Enemy going head-to-head with HEALTH, Bon Iver’s “Lump Sum” laid over something akin to the current H&M soundtrack, and Michael Jackson doing “Billie Jean” to a chorus of Ratatat beats. A little blasphemous, if you’re a purist, but there’s no denying the mix kick-starts the afternoon faster than a six-pack of Frappucinos.
It’s here, for the price of free.
