Loosie!

I'm back. What'd I miss?

So, rap music is awesome, in case you didn't know. There's beats and rapping and girls. All good things. Loosie is a small crew from Brooklyn, who I assumed were set to blow up after putting out a great little remix of Peter Bjorn and John's "Amsterdam." But lo and behold, even in this recent period of PB&J hysteria, they seem to have flown under the radar.

Well, it isn't for lack of trying. As far as I can tell, Spec Boogie, Elucid and Von Pea are more prolific than Rainer Werner Fassbinder on crystal meth. And they're giving away most of their shit for free. Although, not for long, I suspect. There's a bunch of music on their various myspace accounts and even more on their website.

The sound is like De La Soul meets RJD2 meets something streety like The Clipse. And they do have away with the remix, so I'm gonna post the Amsterdam Remix, a Mark Ronson/Lily Allen remix and a Loosie Allstars original, "Wump Wump".

"Amsterdam (Loosie Remix)" Peter John and Bjorn ft Spec Boogie

"Oh My God (Loosie Remix)" Mark Ronson, Lily Allen and Spec Boogie

"Wump Wump" Loosie Allstars

Also, they put out this clever little send up to 90's hiphop called "Champion Hoods" for free download. It's the Loosie MC's rapping over classic 90's beats from Wu-Tang, Fugees, Black Moon, etc.

Download it HERE. Don't be fooled by all the Rapidshare advertising bullshit. It's free, just follow the links.
