So, here’s our first submission post. It comes from Cory and it’s a good one. This track is a remix of Eddie Kendricks’ Keep on Truckin from the new album Motown Remixed that drops tomorrow. The gimmick is pretty simple, take some of the most recognized classic motown songs aand have the world’s top producer’s and remixers take a stab at updating them for the new millenium. Peeps like DJ Green Lantern (Eminem, Nas, Tupac, and has his own new album coming soon) for Rick James’ “Mary Jane”, Salaam Remi (Ludacris, Amy Winehouse, Fugees, Nas, Jamiroquai), for the Jackson 5’s “ABC”, DJ Z-Trip (Soup of Jurassic 5, Chuck D and has his own new album “Shifting Gears”), for the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” and DJ Jazzy Jeff (Will Smith, Jill Scott, Kenny Lattimore, KRS-1), for The Temptations’ “Papa Was A Rolling Stone.” Genius.

The album will be in stores tomorrow and guess what, there’s a tour to coincide with the release. Check it out in a town near you.
