Ahh here we go! I posted Jahkoy's killer ode to sunny Californ-I-A back in September (check out the sick original here), and now we're starting to see the remixes appear beginning with this romper of a record from Medasin. He's put his own vibey spin on it with wavey synths, bobbing bells, sound effects and a chill af drop that's beastly to say the least. The arpy synths chirp around the melody with a swag you can't help but bob your head to. Dive into this one nuff said.
California Heaven
JAHKOY - CALIFORNIA HEAVEN (FEAT. SCHOOLBOY Q)
Music, Original MixCommentCaliforn-i-a you are just a sexy beast. You could take a poll of the most heaven-like places in the world and I guarantee California would be top of the list. Maybe I'm a little biased, but my 8 years on the West Coast have been the best of my life. The soul sultan Jahkoy has created his smooth ode to the Golden State and it's a damn near perfect R&B representation of the all of the Cali vibes. The track starts with a beachy reggae guitar riff that quickly makes way for booming sub and those classic hip hop hats and snares. Jahkoy's angelic vocals perfectly fit the heavenly lyricism floating us along into a fantastic verse from Schoolboy Q. I love the nod to LA's weekday party schedule, which is definitely a thing, and the layers of harmonies surrounding Jahkoy's soloing precision. What a cut that's totally keeping the summer Cali vibes alive! Don't ya wanna move to the westside? You can get "California Heaven" on digital retailers here.
