DOWNLOAD: “That Tree (Diwon Remix featuring Kosha Dillz)” by Snoop Dogg and Kid Cudi (mediafire)

Fun freestyle and remix by Beatcakes favorite, Kosha Dillz (love that shout out to Jersey - haters to the left) and Diwon. Diplo’s original is sped up with Middle Eastern-inspired beats, and made a little less bass-heavy. Kosha Dillz taking full advantage of Diplo’s chromatic bassline though. He’ll be opening for Snoop for some European shows. More importantly, if you happen to be in Amsterdam on June 28th, and you’re from the US, you’ll get vip with Snoop and Kosha. Oh snap.

WATCH: BET Rising Icon- Kid Cudi

Here’s the second installment of BET’s 30min concert series. Is it just me or does the crowd look awkward. They make the video awkward. Maybe I’m awkward. Anyways…

I remember when I first heard him.. RCRDLBL posted the Crookers remix of Day N Nite in March of last year. Remember that? And then there was the blogosphere blowup- the random leaked freestyle sessions and tracks. The bajillion guestspots and mixtapes. And then he hit the radio for the first time. And now this. Yes, the time has finally come. Man On The Moon: The End Of Days is in stores today.

DOWNLOAD: “Embrace the Martian (DJ Mehdi Remix)” by Kid Cudi (Right click, save as)

Check out what DJ Mehdi has to say about this remix:

A-Trak asked me to do it for a possible Fools Gold release of this baby, around September 2008. I guess, by the time I got to finish this (which I never really did), them crooks and the Cleveland kid were touching the stratosphere with their ‘Day and Night’ bomb, and thus never dropped ‘The Martian’.  It’s not the most inspired remix I ever did, but I still enjoy playing it from time to time. Enjoy—

I agree, its an okay remix. More excited for the fact that Mehdi is releasing a remix compiliation right now tentatively called Red Black and Blue on 9/9/09. Dude needs more remixes to be produced now.
