Free Mp3: P.L.O. feat Has-Lo, Zilla Rocca & Curly Castro ‘The Heat US Rmx’
“Last month, the AssociatedMinds and Eatgood Records camps leaked “The Heat”, a track from their forthcoming collaborative EP, The Highball. On it, P.L.O. laid down a razor-sharp guitar-driven instrumental masterpiece for Sonnyjim & Mudmowth to speak some of those dirty, distinguished English bars to, reppin’ the UK Hip-Hop scene properly. The geniuses over at Associated Minds figured the world needed a special US version of this banger of a track, and enlisted the Philly triumvirate of Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro and Has-Lo to sink their collective teeth into that beast. To put a true Hip-Hop spin on it, the decision to revisit Smoothe Da Hustler & Trigga Da Gambler’s classic “Broken Language” opened up a sly framework for these three to slice and dice this beat to pieces.. You’ve got Kanye shruggin’, pill pushin’, spoon bendin’, rhyme twistin’ and all other types of intricate actions broken down in that style. Thus, the “American Language” remix you have before you!
As mentioned, Associated Minds & Eatgood Records will be unleashing The Highball EP. Zilla Rocca is pushing the magnificent Bad Weather EP, while Curly Castro is wondering why one would continuously hit the snooze button on Winston’s Appeal and Has-Lo is receiving loads of praise for his Mello Music Group-distributed In Case I Don’t Make It album. Support quality Hip-Hop, or we’ll have to turn into the hate-spewin’, cigar-chewin’, ratchet holdin’, knife-wieldin’ henchmen, and force you to partake. We don’t want to go down that route, though, do we?”

Free Mp3: P.L.O. feat Sonnyjim & Mudmowth – THE HEAT
The Heat is the P.L.O. produced banger featuring the reunited rhyming might of Sonnyjim & Mudmowth. Sonny and Mud get down with strength on a dirty drum and guitar sound that returns the hip-hop to hip-hop in up-to-date style, mixing the know how of both labels into a necessary dose of dope to the veins.
The track is the lead tune to be taken from the forthcoming joint EP between AssociatedMinds & Eatgood Records, ‘The Highball’ , named in dedication to the one hazy night in Birmingham it was recorded over. It’s the combination of the whole rosters of both teams clashing styles together into some rugged bangers for the heads.
A video will follow shortly for The Heat and ‘The Highball’ will follow soon after for more raw collaboration.
